Hi experts, Q1:What''s the different for "dom0_max_vcpus=4 dom0_vcpus_pin" and "dom0_max_vcpus=4" ? which will get better performance Q2: dom0_max_vcpus=4 means "core0-3 will be just used by dom0" or means "4 cores(not dedicate cores) will be used by dom0, eg: core2-5 or core3-6? Q3.what does mean "nosmp" , xen, dom0,domU, will j...

Does anyone have a standard install of CentOS virtualization grub.conf working in a proven state with the FALLBACK option? If so, can you post your grub.conf? I mistakenly updated to 5.5 and am concerned about nvidia driver comments in the release notes. I did not have protectbase configured on this machine. It is a remote device that will reboot.

I use xen 4.0(dom0 is suse11.sp1,2.6.32 x86_64) on Dell R710 with PERC H700 RAID adapter. --Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz --8 CPU cores. --Memory 64G --RAID5 4.5T When I dedicated (pin) a CPU core only for dom0 use. (I specify "dom0_max_vcpus=1 dom0_vcpus_pin" options for Xen) I got dom0 kernel panic error(pin-1-5.30.bmp) When I pin 2 core to dom0, the dom0 system can boot up, but it can''t find any disk devices.

On a selection of boxes, ntpd running in Xen Dom0 reproducibly exhibits extermely high noise/jitter. Switching back to -default, non-xen kernel ntpd runs with very low jitter/noise. Question -- how can I ''tame'' ntpd noise & jitter when running in Dom0? Is the problem a config issue, or a bug? Already reported this downstream; everybody''s "stumped".
