I'm curious if this is the expected state for virtual machines under Xen. I've set up two machines and their states remain -b----
and never seem to move to r----
which Domain-0 is at.
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 5788 6 r----- 5870.5
kirk 3 1024 1 -b---- 20.2
picard 2 1024 1 -b---- 1987.8
If I console to either, I can log in. If I ssh to either it also works. From what I can tell these two machines are functioning fine, just can't seem to figure out why they're not "ready".
Yes. It usually means:
Considering that you just setup the domains and it doesn't appear that you have done anything with them yet, 2) appears to be the most likely answer.
As for Domain-0, that is operating system console and that will always be in the state of "r" because it is managing everything, including the DomUs kirk and picard.
