I’ve built a new XCP-ng host and configured the ISO and VDI SR’s. I created a new VM for Deb11 and started the VM with the ISO attached. Now I’m stuck trying to figure out how to access the VM console.
I’ve deployed XOA before using the handy script from github and it works fine. In this new build, I’m trying to build a Deb11 VM first which will host Docker, then I want to deploy XO in Docker in the Deb11 vm.
There are walkthroughs I’ve tried to follow in order to access the VM’s console, but it doesn’t work. For example, this one: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-create-a-new-virtual-machine-on-xenserver-using-command-line
Once I get to the “xenstore-read” part to find the vnc port number, that’s where the train derails. I get this error:
[05:30 XennyHill ~]# list_domains | grep 4c3d77d0-24cb-5c5a-f4a5-1405912f3562
1 | 4c3d77d0-24cb-5c5a-f4a5-1405912f3562 | B H
[05:30 XennyHill ~]# xenstore-read /local/domain/1/console/vnc-port
xenstore-read: couldn't read path /local/domain/1/console/vnc-port
[05:30 XennyHill ~]#
I’ve tried a ton of other stuff for countless hours and getting nowhere lol! Any ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
