hi to the list, Hello everyone, I am new in the world of pxe booting and i try to use AOE to boot my linux debian lenny machines. I install the linux like this: parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 17408B 314590207B parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 314590208B 3535815679B pa...

hello ! i try to use a network technology on one single host, which wasn`t designed for that. to give a short overview of what i`m talking about: AoE is just like a "networked blockdevice" (just like nbd/enbd) - but without tcp/ip. AoE kernel driver is the "client end" (see this like an iSCSI initiator) - and an etherblade storage appliance is the "server end" (see this like an iSCSI target) there is a software equ...

I understand that all work is going into xen3, but I had wanted to note that aoe (drivers/block/aoe) is giving me trouble on xen 2.0.6 (so we can keep and eye on xen3). Specifically I can''t see nor export AOE devices. As a quick background on AOE, it is not IP (not routable, etc), but works with broadcasts and packets to MAC addresses (see http://www.coraid.com)....

Greetings, Xen developers! I have been using AoE with Xen to great effect and I am very pleased with how the whole system has worked out. The two technologies really complement each other. I consider it the ultimate setup. Aside from the network switch (eventually to be remedied) my serving infrastructure has zero single points of failure. H...

Hi, I have a working PXE environment that chainloads gPXE and loads pxelinux.0 afterwards. As I'm also interested in doing san boot (in my case aoe) I tried loading the new gpxelinux.0 file instead of my gPXE --> pxelinux.0 setup (works) and booting from my aoe target by adding this to the default config file: LABEL doaoe MENU LABEL Continue AoE kernel sanboot.c32 append aoe:e0.0 The result is that sanboot.c32 is complaining...

I am trying to get a proof-of-concept type setup going...I have a storage box and 2 xen servers...I am using file based disk that live on the aoe device...i can run the vm from either host without issue...when I run the live migration, the domain leaves the xm list on host 1 and shows up on host 2 (however there is a pause for pings of about 2 minutes?)...after it is on host 2, I can xm console and connect to it, I checked the uptime and it...

Hello, I have encountered a crash in dom0 kernel while booting a domU from an AOE device. I haven''t seen such crashes when booting from local partitions/ LVM volumes/ loopback file systems. Also I haven''t seen such crash when I did repetitive I/O to these AOE devices. As the call trace of crash indicates the crash is in xenolinux kernel. Also this crash is pred...

Hai,   I was just reading : https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ata-over-ethernet-aoe-on-debian-8-jessie/   I was wondering, anyone tried AoE for sysvol, so i dont needs replication anymore. Anyone Pro’s and Con’s ?    Or can anyone tell of sysvol is going to be replicated by samba so we dont need scripts anymore.     Greetz,   Louis

Hi people... Here we use Xen 4 with Debian Lenny... We''re using kernel 2.6.31.13 pvops... As a storage system, we use AoE devices... So, we installed VM''s on AoE partition... The "NAS" server is a Intel based baremetal with SATA hard disc... However, sometime I feeling that VM''s is so slow... Also, all VM has GPLPV drivers installed... So, I am thing about change AoE to iSCSCI... Howeve...

Dear developer, I am working on a project for my graduate work (diploma), which includes iSCSI and AOE booting. I made some menus using pxelinux and things are working fine with linux, but I have a small problem with windows system which require direct iscsi or aoe access. I have dhcpd.conf setup that it to each first dhcp request handles out pxelinux.0, then I can chooose from that menu which OS to...

Hi We use AoE disks for some of our systems. Currently, a 15.65Tb filesystem we have is full, I then extended the LVM by a further 4Tb but resize4fs could not handle a filesystem over 16Tb (CentOS 5.5). I then reduced the lvm by the same amount, and attempted to create a new LV, but get this error message in th...

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | | | | |...

...ey looked valid from tcpdump, so I started adding debug statements to the vblade server. It turns out that for some reason the packets were shorter than vblade expected, and it was ignoring them. I changed the check for packet length to be if < 32 instead of if < 60, and voila it works. (in aoe.c) for (;;) { n = getpkt(sfd, buf, bufsz); if (n < 0) { perror("read network"); exit(1); } // if (n < 60) { if (n < 32) { //...

...on two MORE nodes. Four nodes -- and quite a bit of complication, and I wonder what the performance was like? I think I know how to do it with 2 nodes and (I think) it''ll be less complicated and perform better (I think). I haven''t tried it, neither do I have any experience with AoE, LVM, etc. Only basic experience with Xen. But I think it should work. Check it out: * Get 2 computers with 2 NICs * Install your favorite Linux distro on each * Partition the drive into 4 partitions. Two are Dom0 OS and swap, two unformatted. * Connect the intra-node NICs with a crossover/swit...

Nick, What are you planning on running over the shared connection? Database, eMail, File Shares? How many users? How much data? What is your I/O profile? I've worked with 'enterprise' storage most of my career either as a consumer, adviser or provider - can't comment on AoE other than to suggest you look at what are the business & technical goals, how they solve it and what is your risk profile against the business need of the system. (I'm currently working as an adviser) When you have an opportunity to chase into "enterprise support" of new disk is...

...an Ethernet cable to a dedicated card of the XCP box, for which in the network config I'' ve specified: MTU=9344: xe network-param-list uuid=.... gives: MTU ( RW): 9344 on the DomUs if I leave the MTU at 1500 (default settings) everything works (slowly, but works). If I increase the MTU the aoe device appear as expected, but the data on it becomes inaccessible, even just trying to activate the lvm volume groups gives a bunch of IO errors at sector 0, and so on. Please tell me what I''m doing wrong. Are jumbo frames expected et all to work? Cheers Geza _________________________...

Dear all: I''m sorry I crossmail.

Hi, I'm pretty new to ocfs2 and a bit stuck. I have two Debian/Squeeze (testing) machines accessing an ocfs2 filesystem over aoe. The filesystem sits on an lvm2 volume, but I guess that is irrelevant. Even when mostly idle, everything accessing the cluster sometimes hangs for about 20 seconds. This happens rather frequently, say every 5 minutes, but the interval seems irregular while the time that it hangs is quite simila...

Does anybody know a FreeNAS-like solution, that supports AoE? - Ata over Ethernet? Thank you!

Hi all! First my system info: Wine version: 1.3.28 OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Graphics: Mobile Intel GMA X3100 The problem basically is that I am getting no sound when I play AoE II: AoK. The game starts and works otherwise fine, except for the sound bit. When I look in the game's Options menu, both Sound Volume and Music Volume sliders are down and it shows Off. I can move the sliders up, but it neither starts the sounds, nor does it save the setting. I followed the...
