When I wrote the guide that was not necessary, seems it is now. You can either use 0.0.0.0 to listen on any interface available on the server, or you can specify the IP address of the network card you wish to listen on to force it to listen only on that specific device.

There was one thing you didn’t mention, where it says listen, put LISTEN= 0.0.0.0 or it will try to listen on an interface that isn’t real

Comment on Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) – Local ISO Storage Repositories by Sunil

This article is great but I’m having slightly different XCP problem with local storage. Following are my scenario.

I have HPDL360 server with 4 raid disk(600G).
At the time of XCP install it see only one commbined raid disk of 1.8TB(/dev/sda), unlinke other linux installation it doesn’t display the partition option.

I tried to partition /dev/sda with fdisk utility but it doesn’t work and wipeout XCP installation.

I want to create a guest with local disk on xcp host server but couldn’t find a way to do that. XCP documentation is almost silent. Since it doesn’t let me partion the existing RAID disk, I can’t allocate disk for guest.

I need to put guest on local disk for I/O performance reason.

Any help/BKM would be greatly appreciated.

That is what is returned after you use the xe network-create command.

It sounds like you are using software raid instead of hardware raid. The centos linux kernel will need to contain the drivers for your card either built in or as modules. I would suggest doing some research on how to get your raid working under centos instead of xcp.

This is a great how-to and i really appreciate it. I decided to add a local RAID5 volume to xen cloud platform. I setup the disks as raid in the bios and configured them as hardware raid on the motherboard but I can’t seem to get xen cloud to see the array. I tried using dmraid but i get an error “device-mapper target type “raid45″ is not in the kernel” Device isw_ddeghccjgbj_V0 (V0 being the name i gave the array in hardware) could not be activated. This is as far as I’ve gotten. Any tips you can provide would be welcome.

Hi, thanks for the examples.
However, in your example:
“Now we need to assign the VLAN tag 201 to this network, and bind it to a physical interface (eth1 in this case):

xe vlan-create network-uuid=85a9aba5-73ea-4008-0a28-395c96be30fd \
pif-uuid=e602777f-b4e9-e231-7858-81189c47c434 vlan=201″

where do you get 85a9aba5-73ea-4008-0a28-395c96be30fd from?
