[CentOS-virt] Running Xen domU hangs until service xend is restarted
xen-3.0.3-64.el5_2.1 Here's the scenario: Name ID Uptime Domain-0 0 128 days, 17:31:11 piranga_xen01 1 128 days, 17:30:13 piranga_xen02 39 96 days, 15:47:10 piranga_xen03 35 96 days, 16:39:52 piranga_xen04 59 16 days, 17:30:35 3 hours ago, xen04 stopped responding. xm list showed it was constantly in State "r" and Time steadily increasing for xen04 while all other domU's kept going unharmed: Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 5052 4 r----- 296971.7 piranga_xen01 1 263 1 -b---- 1588245.8 piranga_xen02 39 255 1 -b---- 26560.5 piranga_xen03 35 255 1 -b---- 17036.2 piranga_xen04 59 511 1 r----- 15560.6 xenconsoled wasn't showing up in dom0 processlist. After service xend restart the xen04 domU went back to normal again. I've seen previous posts about (and experienced myself) the case where xm list, xm create, xm restart stops working because of a botched xend/xenconsoled, but this is the first time a domU just hangs for me. Anyone else experienced this? -- Mike
