All,
I have a domU running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64bit using PVonHVM which is working
well but I noticed a quirk and just wanted to check it wasn''t just my
misunderstanding. On my dom0 (Arch Linux, 64bit, AMD Phenom 2 X4 965 CPU, Xen
4.2.0 from my own PKGBUILD) I run "xl top" and xentop loads and shows
all the currently running domains; only none of the domains have anything
showing for network statistics (0''s for NETS, NETTX and NETRX). I see
Disk statistics for the two domU''s; one is running Windows 7 and only
shows that the VBD is allocated (1 VBDS, 0''s for stats, but running the
windows PVHVM drivers conflicted with the graphics drivers so wasn''t
expecting stats). The other domU is the Ubuntu one and it shows both the VBD and
stats for it.
I''ve been reviewing the configuration, in case I had mis-specified
something, however it looks okay:
# Virtual Disk/Net
vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3E:3A:53:21,bridge=extbr0,vifname=websrv'' ]
I also checked the messages on the domU as well:
$ ( ethtool -i eth0 | grep driver && dmesg | grep -i
"netfront" && dmesg | grep -i "virtual ethernet" )
driver: vif
[ 0.000000] Netfront and the Xen platform PCI driver have been compiled for
this kernel: unplug emulated NICs.
[ 0.718539] Initialising Xen virtual ethernet driver.
So, should there be disk statistics showing up under xentop? I happened to
notice as I was troubleshooting another issue ( xl create was returning errors
about networking but it was actually because I had set a bad keymap in the
config; it booted ok once I had fixed the keymap line )
Regards,
David
