Hi, Anybody please tell me how to have a PV Linux with graphics? I succesfully created some PV Linux with debootstrap and xen-tools. But then all the images must be started with "xm create -c" command, and everything then is console, with no X Window. In short, I want to have PV Linux, but with X. How to do that?

Hello everyone, Im starting to use Xen on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2, but Im not quite happy yet with the virtual disk management. I still need to do a lot of research about that, but first I want to ask the community about a simple way to handle the guest machine disks. *Is there any way to increase/decrease a guest machine disk after the OS is installed? Can I have a dynamically

Hi all. I''m using sles11 for my xen servers. I would really like to be able to do hot snapshots of disk AND memory, and then have these snapshots backed up to tape or off site for disaster recovery. I''m thinking this would be done weekly or monthly, not nightly. Two questions: 1) Is this even possible? 2) I could probably have the systems shutdown to make a clean backups, but

Hi all, I am running Xen 3.2-1 / 2.6.18 on Debian Etch (Dom0). I setup a Dom0 with several DomUs (Linux). Each DomU disk is a LV partition. I have been seeing a few mails about backups and LVM and just wanted to make sure that what I am doing is correct. Each DomU with a database has a cron that dumps the db with mysqldump. Later on, Dom0 will do an LVM Snapshot of all DomUs and then do a

Now I''m sure that the following configuration can destroy a PostgreSQL 8.3.5 database: * Linux host (dom0) with XEN, XFS filesystem with "nobarrier", RAID controller with battery backed cache. * XEN vm (domU) with XFS filesystem with "nobarrier" with postgresql * my daughter with 3.5 years switching off the power supply of the server, just behind the UPS Seems XEN

Hi all, I''m doing my first xen, running with 3 domU perfect. I need to know which way to backup domU to restore these to another server if i''ve problem with this machine.

Hi Everyone, I am going to get a storage server which will be connected to my Xen hosts via iSCSI/Ethernet. I wish to use LVM for the DomU disks. The storage server will have a RAID10 array, and 2 Xen hosts will connect to this (Each will have a 50% share of the RAID10 array, space wise). What is the best way to go about this? Should I: a) Split the RAID10 array into 2 partition on the
