Can't use XEN due to missing qemu-dm

Hello, I have a big issue not which is preventing me from using cloudmin at all. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with Xen 4.6 and cannot create any systems due to the following error:

"Creating virtual system with Xen .. .. creation failed : The Xen HVM command qemu-dm was not found on node01.noc.example.com"

I'm in desperate need for a fix to this. I've searched everywhere for the qemu-dm package with no luck and can't even find the source for it. can anyone please help me with this? I'd appreciate it very much.

Does that command exist anywhere on your system? You can find it with :

find / -name qemu-dm

I ran into the same issue. Is there a way to turn qemu-dm off? I was able to get the system onto cloudmin by manually creating the .cfg file and then importing it. I also had an issue where if I did not include the lines "kernel = " and "device_model = " which are both depreciated in xen 4.6.

Have you tried creating a VM that's not using HVM mode? It's rarely needed, unless running a non-Linux OS.

Yes, that works fine. I like using HVM to boot new cd images (.iso) of different linux distros and the lack of newer PV images almost makes this a necessity.

I also find HVM guests are easier to play with and move around.

Thanks.
