Hi Qin, (Moved openstack@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org> to BCC while we track down the problem - I hope to post the resolution when it is identified)
I see - it shouldn't get shut off, that's strange - sorry for not spotting that in your original email. If you could upload the nova log file for the VM booting, and possibly a bugtool from the XenServer host (generated using xen-bugtool -y) somewhere so we can have a look at what happened? Specifically we're interested in whether there were any errors reported in the nova process (n-cpu if you're using devstack) and what was reported from the xensource.log files at the time this occurred.

However, it doesn't help to wait for 5 minutes or inject credentials to the instance. It still got automatically shut-off at first, and then after I restarted it at the xenserver command or xencenter, it got stuck at that that message and never changed states for hours. Do you mean the three-image the machine image/kernel/initrd? I also downloaded the machine image and kernel in http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/. There is no initrd image in precise. I added the ami image with the kernel and without aki image. But I encountered the same problem as I described before. Thanks again for your prompt response!

If you leave the image it should eventually (after perhaps 5 minutes on first boot) reach the login prompt. If you have injected credentials then you should be able to login using them, however I believe that if you have left it to Ubuntu to generate a random password this is displayed on the screen at a point which is not visible through the VNC console. The three-part images do not suffer from this, and are set up correctly for the Xen console.

Now I want to add a ubuntu image to it. I downloaded qcow2 image from here ( http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/) and used the guideline here (http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/10/17/upload-custom-images-to-a-xenserver-powered-openstack-cloud/) to convert the image to vhd format and add to openstack using glance. But when I start the instance, it got shut-off automatically. When I try to restart the instance in Xensenver, it got stuck at the messages: [ 1.612617] EXT4-fs (xvda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) [ 2.245259] EXT4-fs (xvda1): re-mounted. Opts: (null) One thing to mention is that I successfully added a cirros image to xenserver using the steps above. So what's the problem here? Could any one give any suggestions? Thanks in advance! -- Best Regards, Qin Jia Computer Science Cornell University -- Best Regards, Qin Jia Computer Science Cornell University
