I have a couple of questions regarding XCP I hope to get answers to: 1. I''ve enabled local storage caching, with the command xe host-enable-local-storage-caching host=(uuid) sr-uuid=(local ext3) How can I check if this is working? My local SR used space does not seem to change over time and the HD seems to be idle... 2. Has anyone been able to get quiesced snapshots working on a Windows SBS 2003? Since XS 5.6 I''ve almost never been able to perform a VSS snapshot, instead XCP throws an error similar to "The quiesced snapshot failed for an unexpected reason". This error has haunted me from XS 5.6, XCP 0.5 and now XCP 1.0 RC2. Whether NFS, local EXT3, Intel or AMD, VSS is just broken. I''m begging for help, in this regard. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/XCP-RC2-questions-local-caching-and-VSS-tp3388203p3388203.html Sent from the Xen - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
