NetWare 6.5 on XEN problems
NetWare 6.5 on XEN problems
Submitted By southpaw34 on Tue. 05.06.2008
Hi,
I am installing Netware 6.5 on SLES 10 XEN. It goes through the OS disk fine but when I asks for the 2 CD prod and I nsert it it still thinks its looking at the OS disk. The actual server sees disk 2 but the XEN machine still thinks disk 1 is still in it. Any one had this happen before?
Thanks,
Rich

Try using the DVD OVL disk
Try using the DVD OVL disk rather than the CDs. The disk swap has been know to give problems in the past.
Don't use physical CDs
Put the .iso images of your NW65 CDs onto your harddisk (f.ex. with k3b).
Then tell your virtual machine to use these two ISO CDs as cdrom devices.
Strictly don't use a physical cdrom with XEN; it's very hard bound into the machine and doesn't recognize any changes of media.
Further use the latest update version of xend.
Later you can deactivate your ISO CDs because the max. of block devices with XEN is limited to 16.

copy .iso images of NW65OS
copy .iso images of NW65OS and NW65PROD to your hdd.
configure these .iso files as cdrom devices to your xen vm and choose the correct boot device.
NetWare will mount these cds automatically as volumes and knows about when asking for NW65PROD.
Later you can either dismount the CDs in autoexec.ncf or disable them from the xen config (att. only 16 block devices allowed).
