Hi Marco, XCP 0.5 is primarily intended to be a bugfix release. However it does have 2 new features: 1. CPU feature masking (via Intel FlexMigration and AMD-V Extended Migration) -- this allows you to (eg) "down-level" a new server to make it look the same as an old server. The machines can then be joined to the same pool and you can be sure that live migrations will work fine. 2. the ability to create and upload ISO images (provided the underlying SR is itself writable) Here's a short summary of the bugfixes, per area, since 0.1.1: Toolstack: fix a race in the Host_patch record update logic Revert c/s 594:41501bb83b18 (session caching stuff) Fix XenAPI performance degradation caused by RBAC Support for likewise 5.3 error codes Add first-class field for openvswitch distributed controller Fix PIF_metrics glitch when xapi is restarted Fix ballooning bug where a domain's maxmem gets out of sync in the no ballooning required case (ie dynamic_min = dynamic_max) Fix terrible error message when a 'rhlike' guest (eg CentOS) cannot be installed because of a missing file Read-only RBAC roles can call pool.ha_compute_hypothetical_max_failures_to_tolerate vswitch: the MAX address of the tagged PIF for VLAN fake-bridge any PAM user should be able to log-in when external auth is disabled robustify VBD unpause in the case when the device disappears Make sure we can't VBD.plug while lvhd_stop_using_these_vdis is in progress Make it possible to use new memory APIs on templates as well as VMs Always allow dom0 to be ballooned even if other domUs cannot be ballooned Resync Host_cpu tables with physical h/w on restart Fix memory glitch when a domain is paused (eg while being resumed) Fix a deadlock in the RRD code Fix a glitch where xapi would set PV-drivers-up-to-date to false on restart Extend VM.clone and VM.copy to work on snapshots and checkpoints Add "Xen API SDK" template: using this to install from the main CD should result in a simulator Work around broken vendor kernels by forcing all PV guests to use slow resume during checkpoint operations Fix periodic backup of RRD data: broken by fork/exec daemon Fix occasional HTTP request failure caused by failing to read all request headers from an HTTP PUT Improve the RRD behaviour when the system clock moves backwards When importing VM metadata, if the VM was Running then the new state should be Halted (not Running) vswitch: fix bringing up VLAN PIFs When deciding which host to forward a VDI.copy to (eg when installing a VM to a different SR), take into account host liveness SRIOV: on reboot, always hotplug PCI devices into guests in the order specified in the (original) other-config key Fix bug where 'xe pif-scan' could pick up non-physical interfaces such as vif backends (!) Avoid leaking a domain in the case where a storage backend fails during resume Allow VCPU settings to be changed on a template Allow the CLI to change a Host's name-description Work around firewalls which kill idle TCP connections by inserting empty blocks every 5s or so Fix segfault in fork/exec daemon Accept ISO8601 dates without a timezone, assume UTC (XMLRPC spec problems) Dom0 kernel: Fix deadlock in software raid by importing upstream fixes. Enable CONFIG_NET_SCH_INGRESS ensure gratuitous frames sent on bond link failure are truly benign Allow large MTU to be configured on netback vif device from hotplug script. pciback: fixes for SR-IOV passthrough to PV guests. Fix iSCSI last_recv timestamp hijacking in iscsi_xmit. Prevent iSCSI transport timeout checks from spinning. Refresh Intel NIC drivers from http://e1000.sf.net Do not restrict netback to the first 2k of each RX buffer. Backport xenbus_watch_pathfmt which is used in place of xenbus_watch_path2 in pvops kernels. compile pciback in the kernel (not as a module) xen (3.4.2): EPT/PoD locking fix Backport upstream patch to support syslinux configuration files in pygrub. add AES to the HVM CPUID whitelist. Import upstream patch to improve pygrub compatibility with grub2. Upgrade gPXE to 1.0.0 don't complain too loudly about mixed-CPU migrations. new bypercall to get the unmasked CPUID feature bits Mask CPUID masks with unmasked CPUID responses. drop CRC bytes from RX frames in the gPXE rtl8139 driver. hvm: correct time offset update in RTC write emulation Import xentrace patches from unstable, retry pygrub: Fix grub2 support when config is on a separate /boot partit Added patch to fix network booting from Bootix serverion quieten per-cpu logging and increase dmesg buffer size. import Intel changes to FlexMigration trace possible incorrect use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED With OOS enabled, check l1 and rewalk if it's changed just before propagation. improve support for grub2 and reiserfs/ext4 CA-40782: Sort out interactions between PoD and log-dirty on EPT. pygrub: Fix Grub2 support for Ubuntu 10.04 storage plugins Fix SAS dynamic device removal/addition behaviour Fix race in waiting for LUNs to appear. if we fail to remove a devmapper node, leave the LV symlink retry on failures during "dmsetup remove" (since most of those are transient) Run NFS slave callout before unlinking parent VHD. Activate the dm-multipath node before calling vdi_attach enable single snapshots (1 leaf instead of 2), which would have been needed for online leaf-coalesce Make VDI.introduce on LUN-per-VDI backends set managed=true on the VDI. Add Multi-IQN wildcard support to the iSCSI target discovery functionality. fix a journal file race use the BAT information to minimize the space requirements of coalesce fix the space requirement calculation in vdi_snapshot make vhd-util log errors to syslog (except for vhd-util scan). log some diagnostic info when LV fails to get activated fix the clone rollback call params Ensure that root dev does not get re-probed when refreshing the SCSI host bus. Report the correct number of iSCSI sessions when the MultiIQN wildcard is being used. don't trust LVM when it says a LV doesn't exist: still check if the devmapper node and/or symlink do exist and delete them manually Restore set_scheduler device name for multipathed nodes. VM template should only be created when snapshotting via vm-snapshot-with-quiesce. zero out the footer area of the LV when rolling back inflates Cheers, Dave> -----Original Message----- > From: Marco Sinhoreli [mailto:msinhore@gmail.com] > Sent: 12 June 2010 22:13 > To: Dave Scott > Cc: xen-api@lists.xensource.com; xen-devel@lists.xensource.com; xen- > users@lists.xensource.com > Subject: Re: [Xen-API] [XCP]: RC1 of XCP 0.5 available for testing > > Hi Dave, > > What are the features and the bugfixes in this new release? > > Cheers! > > On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 5:27 PM, Dave Scott <Dave.Scott@eu.citrix.com> > wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > > > The first release candidate of the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) version > 0.5 is > > now available for testing from: > > > > http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_source_0.5.html > > > > XCP-0.5 is intended to be a *stable* release, suitable for long-term > production use. > > Please download this release candidate and give it a thorough workout! > > > > Cheers, > > Dave > > > > _______________________________________________ > > xen-api mailing list > > xen-api@lists.xensource.com > > http://lists.xensource.com/mailman/listinfo/xen-api > > > > > > -- > Marco Sinhoreli_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Its intention is to stop stupid users echoing unrealistic targets into /proc/xen/balloon. Possibly these checks could be removed, made configurable on the kernel command line, or only applied to target changes via /proc, leaving updates via xenstore unchecked. There''s a whole very unproductive argument around this as to whether policy belongs in a kernel (hard to change, but maybe knows more about the VM), versus in a higher-level toolstack (easier to change, maybe knows less about the VM); safety vs flexibility; blah blah blah. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hi everyone, The second release candidate of the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) version 0.5 is now available for testing from: http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_source_0.5.html The changes since the RC1 are: * VCPU weight/cap/affinity are now preserved over VM migrate, resume * CLI command ''xe get-vms-which-prevent-evacuation'' now follows the usual CLI pattern and ''--minimal'' works as expected * Failure to manually change the pool master when there is a large amount of RRD data has been fixed[1] * pygrub now supports ext4 filesystems ... leading to ... * experimental support for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04[2] Please download and test! :) [1] if there are a large number of RRD datasources (eg corresponding to a large number of VLANs) then the RRD XML becomes large and serializing it will fail. This failure nolonger causes the pool master transition to fail but it does prevent the XML being saved to disk. Hopefully this will be fixed in the unstable branch for the next release.

Hi Grant, That’s a good idea. When we release 0.5 (imminent) I’ll make symlinks named XCP-base-0.5.iso{,.md5} XCP-ddk-0.5.iso{,.md5} and link to those.

Re: [Xen-users] I need Vanilla Xen images of major Linux distributions
I can concur. I was having major issues getting ubuntu 10.04 to install a pv domu on my centos dom0 with xen3.4.2 and xen4.0. I got a subscription to stacklet and within the hour I had a working image. They have all kinds of distros. Donny B.

The actual > installer is all in text mode.I see the enlarged image of the initial BIOS boot (like F2 for setup) there, after loading Xen and dom0, and I don''t see the (Panda) picture. I guess the display mode is changed when the picture is displayed? I have a Matrox PCIe x1 on that machine. If I use a different graphic card, it installs fine. I can install Ubuntu 10.04 server on the machine even with the Matrox card because it completely stays in text mode. Probably we need an option to give up the picture, although I''m not sure that''s the cause.

Re: [Xen-devel] [XCP]: RC3 (the final one?) of XCP 0.5 available for testing
Thank you. This is *very* helpful when one has to keep multiple versions around. Nothing worse than using the wrong main.iso. Might I make one more request? sed ''s/main/XCP-base-0.5/'' XCP-base-0.5.iso.md5 Otherwise, an `md5sum -c` fails. -dwight- On Wednesday 07 July 2010 03:51:59 am Dave Scott wrote:> Hi Grant, > > That’s a good idea.
