February 11, 201412 yr I'm really interested in using unraid 6 with some VMs rather than using plugins for unraid. I've only ever used OpenVZ (through proxmox) on my sites servers, and virtualbox on my windows PC. I've been trying to get my head around everything, but was wondering if someone who actually knew what they were doing would be able to create a Debian 7.4 applaince? If not I will give it a go when my ram and replacement CPU finally turn up.
February 11, 201412 yr If you want to do your own install here's the config file I used. name = "debcloud" memory = 512 vcpus = '2' disk = [ 'file:/net/unraid/mnt/user/Media/Software/ISOs/debian7.4.iso,xvdd:cdrom,r', 'phy:/mnt/ownCloud/debian.img,xvda,w' ] vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:a1:bc:a4,bridge=br0' ] bootloader = "pygrub" bootloader_args = "--kernel=/install.amd/xen/vmlinuz --ramdisk=/install.amd/xen/initrd.gz"

It works, but you probably want to change the way you do cfg files and update your image / documentation. You use... phy:/mnt/ownCloud/debian.img,xvda,w That is for lvm, disks, etc. Instead of... file:/mnt/ownCloud/debian.img,xvda,w Which is for img, ISOs, VHDs, cow, cow2, etc. files. If the users continue to use this, later versions of Xen (or if we goto libvirt and import them) it could break it. Plus when looking at documentation / guides online they will not see "phy" unless the documentation is using disks, volumes, etc. in their examples.
February 11, 201412 yr Author Thanks for replying ironicbadger, I did see that one but didn't look too much into it because I don't use/need owncloud but I guess I could uninstall that.
February 11, 201412 yr Author disk = [ 'file:/net/unraid/mnt/user/Media/Software/ISOs/debian7.4.iso,xvdd:cdrom,r', 'phy:/mnt/ownCloud/debian.img,xvda,w' ] You use... Code: [select] phy:/mnt/ownCloud/debian.img,xvda,w That is for lvm, disks, etc. Instead of... Code: [select] file:/mnt/ownCloud/debian.img,xvda,w Which is for img, ISOs, VHDs, cow, cow2, etc. files. So if you change phy: to file: does that mean there are 2 file: entries
February 11, 201412 yr so do you have file: twice? Yes name = "debcloud" memory = 512 vcpus = '2' disk = [ 'file:/net/unraid/mnt/user/Media/Software/ISOs/debian7.4.iso,xvdd:cdrom,r', 'file:/mnt/ownCloud/debian.img,xvda,w' ] vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:a1:bc:a4,bridge=br0' ] bootloader = "pygrub" bootloader_args = "--kernel=/install.amd/xen/vmlinuz --ramdisk=/install.amd/xen/initrd.gz"
