In Xen, you need to create a Storage Repository for the NFS share instead of trying to manually make the connection to the NFS share. Then Xen will be able to use the NFS share for storing DomU images.

[Xen-users] DomU image
file on NFS Storage
Hi everyone,
I have created a CentOS4 PV on a Xen host contained in a *.img file. Now I want to store that image file
on a NFS server. Does anyone have a config.sxp file example and want to share it on a pastebin service?
I have put the *.img on an NFS server, then mounted the img using #mount -o loop image.img /mnt/centos
and then exported it to the xen host but it does not work since the DomU kernel does not have Root NFS support.
How can I do instead to read directly from the xen host the *.img file stored in the NFS server, I think it would
look like: nfs_root = "/mnt/images/centos/image.img".
** This does not work at all, it ends up with a kernel panic on console.
kernel = "/mnt/images/centos/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.ELxenU"
ramdisk = "/mnt/images/centos/boot/initrd-2.6.9-89.ELxenU.img"
memory = 512
name = "centos4"
vcpus = 1
vif = ['']
dhcp = "dhcp"
ip = "192.168.1.100"
netmask = "255.255.255.0"
gateway = "192.168.1.254"
hostname = "centos4"
nfs_root = "/mnt/images/centos/"
nfs_server = "192.168.1.98"
root = "/dev/root"
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
I would really appreciate one example or config option.
Regards,
Tony.
