Hello guys,
I somehow overcome the balloon problem. What I did was I delete the system
and profile by
cobbler system remove --name=<system_mac>
cobbler profile remove --name=<profile_name>
And I added again the profile but this time I gave --virt-ram-size=256 (as
this was where koan reported warning earlier) and then I created system as
I did previously.
Then I ran koan once again (as I did earlier) but now a new problem. It
starts the virtual machine and ask me to connect to it via xm console. I did
so but it hangs during acquiring ip address from dhcp. After sometime it ask
me to give ip address manually I do so (10.1.1.45/255.255.255.0 gateway
10.1.1.1) but then it reports error in getting
nfs:/10.1.1.1/rhel5/Dump/ks.cfg. I have figured out the problem. But don't
know how to resolve it.
It is the same as I mentioned earlier. I have two network interfaces. One is
eth1 (wireless device) and other is dummy0 (virtual network interface). All
the communication of xen vm's with the xen dom0 is done via a bridge xenbr1
which is mapped to dummy0. And in the dhcpd.conf there is nothing for the
subnet 10.1.1.0 and if I do manually (as of now cobbler is managing my
dhcpd.con) it reports error and doesn't start dhcpd service. The error is
logged into /var/log/messages and it is shown below:
