I have managed to compile Xen, the kernel, COLO, following the information in this thread. http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-02/msg03507.html Github branche : changlox/colo_v12 https://github.com/Pating/xen/tree/changlox/colo_v12 Xen (COLO version) is now compiled and installed, the kernel patched and network cards are configured as in the documentation below: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/COLO_-_Coarse_Grain_Lock_Stepping When I try to start a virtual machine, I receive this error message: [root@xen1 ~]# xl create /var/virtualStore/test/test.cfg Parsing config from /var/virtualStore/test/test.cfg libxl: warning: libxl_dm.c:1447:libxl__build_device_model_args_new: Could not find user xen-qemuuser-shared, starting QEMU as root libxl: error: libxl_device.c:963:device_backend_callback: unable to add device with path /local/domain/0/backend/vif/3/0 libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1443:domcreate_attach_vtpms: unable to add nic devices libxl: error: libxl_device.c:963:device_backend_callback: unable to remove device with path /local/domain/0/backend/vif/3/0 libxl: error: libxl.c:1638:devices_destroy_cb: libxl__devices_destroy failed for 3 libxl: error: libxl.c:1565:libxl__destroy_domid: non-existant domain 3 libxl: error: libxl.c:1523:domain_destroy_callback: unable to destroy guest with domid 3 libxl: error: libxl.c:1452:domain_destroy_cb: destruction of domain 3 failed When I commented the network line in the virtual machine configuration file, it works correctly. I tried with or without COLO in the virtual machine configuration file, without success. Attached, the virtual machine configuration file. Someone an idea for this problem?
