To install the guest agent on an Ubuntu VM, I tried:
- Start the Ubuntu VM if it isn't already running
- In XenCenter, select the VM in the left panel, and select the Console tab in the right panel
- Select "xs-tools.iso" from the drop down list just above the console window
- Click on the console window, log in if necessary, and type sudo mount /dev/hdd /mnt
So in other words, where the Xen documentation says /dev/xvdd, use /dev/hdd on Ubuntu.
If you just type sudo /mnt/Linux/Install.sh, it tells you you’re running an unsupported distribution. I thought I’d be clever and try the force it to use the Debian 3 tools:
- Type: sudo /mnt/Linux/install.sh -d debian -m 3
- Reboot: sudo shutdown -r now
That left me with an unbootable
kernel. I booted from the original Ubuntu kernel, then edited /boot/grub/menu.lst to
change the default kernel to 2 so it would boot the good kernel.
