Hi Chris, That SQL command is simply to allow you to add a non HVM Xen Host into CloudStack, so if you have added the host this is your first hurdle overcome.
The problem is really with VirtualBox and its limitations. For example I also run XenServer 6.2 test hosts, but running on VMware boxes as VMware supports nested virtualisation whereas VirtualBox does not. We are working on an alternate 'CloudStack Appliance' for our Bootcamps factoring in the new way Console Proxy access now works (removing reliance on realhostip.com is actually a help for this type of build) and we may be able to share that with the community. It's being 'road tested' as colab this week so assuming its successful, we may be able to share it within the next couple of weeks.

Some of the issues were probably due to my customised version of DevCloud [2] and the Xen setup. I was hoping that qemu would give me full virtualisation inside virtualbox, so would eliminate my newbie errors such as creating templates using the wrong OS Type flag. Has there been any discussion within the CloudStack community to provide a virtualbox/vmware (+vagrant) envrionment that people new to cloudstack can download and immediately get started playing with a pre-configured Cloudstack. Maybe, a sister project to DevCloud, something like UserCloud? I see Simstack [3] has created an environment using the simulator, but that won't let you play with real instances. Many thanks, Chris --- [1] [INVALID_SOURCE, Unable to access a required file in the specified repository: file:///tmp/cdrom-repo-j5Socp/isolinux/vmlinuz., ] [2] https://github.com/snowch/cloudstack-vagrant-box [3] https://github.com/runseb/simstack On Mon, Apr 7, 2014 at 9:43 AM, Geoff Higginbottom <[email protected]> wrote: > Chris, > > To use a XenServer which does not have HVM support you need to run > this command to update the CloudStack DB.
