Xen 4.1.3rc XendAPI warnings and XendDomainInfo Problems (Rebooting fails)
Hello, I''m having some trouble with Xen 4.1.3rc (previously 4.1.2 with the same issues). The problem was first identified by a lack of rebooting capability from DomU''s. Ubuntu (PV), CentOS (PV), and Windows DomU systems would run well, but simply halt on reboot request. The domain-specific log file shows this: :> Done. Rebooting now :> failed to run bootloader: -3 and within the xend.log: :> ERROR (XendDomainInfo:3244) Had a bootloader specified, but no disks are bootable After looking at the XendDomainInfo.py file, it appears that it''s looking at a variable called "vbd_refs" to locate a bootable disk for the DomU. The call to XendDomainInfo.create_from_dict shows vbd_refs as "[]". Further examination of the logs shows some errors about the XendAPI, including the following: :> WARNING (XendAPI:708) API call: VBD.set_type not found :> WARNING (XendAPI:708) API call: session.get_all_records not found :> WARNING (XendAPI:708) API call: event.get_record not found :> WARNING (XendAPI:708) API call: event.get_all not found A little information about my setup. * Xen versions: 4.1.2 initially, then moved to 4.1.3rc to see if it resolved the issue. * Kernel: 3.2.20 (tried 3.3 and 2.6 as well) * Compiled the kernel with options as specified for a Dom0 on the Xen wiki. * SELinux is disabled. * The firewall (netfilter / iptables) is disabled. * The xencommons and xend services are started. * The Linux DomU images were obtained from stacklet; the Windows DomU was installed from ISO. Both exhibit the same problem rebooting. * When creating the DomU via "xl create", the full path to the config file is used. And here''s an example of my DomU config file: bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" vcpus = 4 memory = 2048 name = "xxx_001" vif = [ ''model=rtl8139,bridge=br0'' ] disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vbds/vm_p_xxx_root,xvda,w'' ] Has anyone seen this behavior before? Have I missed something so obvious it''s painful? Any pointers would be much appreciated.
