12.2 Xen not configured correctly after install

English Virtualization
1

I installed 12.2 on a clean system. Vm did not appear on yast menu. Went to software manager and selected patterns, from here I selected Vm pattern and installed, now yast showed creat machine manage machine, but at no point did it have me creat the m0 config. How do I do that to see if this will work. Not sure how to do it manually. Any help gratefully accepted!

Thanks:’(

hello,

I’m not a specialist in VM but I have installed the XEN kernel and created a VM for a Samba machine
I suppose that you booted the XEN kernel and that the support for virtualization is available on your system: I needed to activate this on the bios.
The XEN kernel should have created a bridge network interface: This is mandatory, here the ifconfig output

ifconfig

The XEN system is your host (domain 0). You can create a VM via Yast and Install therein the system:
Define the VM disks ==> this can be a file in XEN system or a physical partition
I used physical disk and found that this is not the easiest way but it works (in this situation the install partition should be a primary partition, it doesn’t work with extended partition).
Define the CDROM/DVD and the memory to be used.
Start the VM via Yast and install the system therein ==> you should have a installation DVD for this.

When the installation ends reboot the VM, login and do the needed updates. It worked without problem for me.
