Also, if your machine has > 16GB of RAM, you need to use 64-bit mode to access the range above 16GB - or your RAM will just act as an extra heat generator in the machine. I run 64-bit Xen and 32-bit guests on my machine at the moment - but of course, it depends on exactly what you''re doing, I''m sure... -- Mats> > > Lucas_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi Lucas, The 5100 seems to support VT which is great of course for XEN. Looks a fine CPU to me.

I tried installing a 32-bit domU w/ FC6-x86_64 dom0, but got some useless error on ''xm create guestos''; the same config file worked w/ 32-bit FC6 dom0. Is there some magic sauce I need to add to my vm config to run 32bit domU with 64bit dom0? Is it possible to run 32bit and 64bit domU on one machine? Or, should I be installing the 64bit xen kernel and running 32bit dom0 & domU? Sorry for all the questions, but I haven''t seen much documentation on 64/32bit Xen stuff. Regards, David -- David L.

Hi! Can someone please post a working qcow image setup? Is it currently possible to use the "copy on write" feature, and if so how? I''m trying to get this running (with Xen unstable), but the documentation seems to be out of date or incorrect. According to tools/blktap/README it should be possible to add qcow images to dom 0 by running: linux# xm block-attach 0 tap:qcow:/tmp/hda /dev/xvda1 w 0 However this results in the error message: Error: "Resource spec ''tap:qcow:/tmp/hda'' contains no '':'' delimiter" The reason seems to be located in tools/python/xen/util/security.py: ... # sanity check on resource name try: (type, resfile) = resource.split(":") except: err("Resource spec ''%s'' contains no '':'' delimiter" % resource) ... As far as I understand python, this causes an exception if the number of '':''s is not 1. Perhaps this is the reason for "xm create" to fail when using ... disk = [ ''tap:qcow:/tmp/hda,w''] .... in the VM config file (example from tools/blktap/README) So what''s the correct way to set this up? Hope someone can help. TIA, Marcel _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi Marcel, just noticed your post on this. You are right -- a patch to security.py broke blktap disk name parsing. I''ve just checked in a fix. a.
