Microsoft has their "boot" version of their iSCSI software initiator. Apparently this still requires that the network card be iSCSI Boot "enabled." Intel seems to be the only obvious company out there supporting it on their Server adapters - I was wondering if there are any thoughts/plans on implementing iSCSI Boot functionality in the HVM Boot ROM? Or maybe there''s

...ltipath to provide fault tolerant access to its root disk. Although I am able to do this by hardcoding the additional paths in the initrd, it would be better if the bootloader could pass the information in the iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table). However, at the moment gpxelinux.0 can only build iBFTs with one NIC and one target. As I understand it, gpxelinux.0 consists of two parts linked together: pxelinux.gpxe (taken from the etherboot project); and pxelinux.0. The pxelinux.gpxe part runs first and extends the TCP/IP stack of the PXE implementation in ROM. It then runs a script which la...

I am getting the following error on boot on a new install Centos 51: #/bin/sh ro no such file or directory then a kernel panic I have traced it to the call ''switchroot'' in the init script in the initrd. the exact same build without zen has no problems. the boot messages look like: Attaching to iSCSI storage iscsistart: transport class version 2.0-724. iscsid version 2.0-865

Hi, WARNING: Long post ahead I have an issue when starting multipathd. The kernel complains about "blk_cloned_rq_check_limits: over max segments limit". The server in question is configured for KVM hosting. It boots via iBFT to an iSCSI volume. Target is COMSTAR and underlying that is a ZFS volume (100GB). The server also has two infiniband cards providing four (4) more paths over SRP

Hello, I want to implement a diskless xen hypervisor. The way I suppose it will work is xen booted over pxe and getting iscsi san storage to store vm images. Is solution like that usable ? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello, This version addresses comments by Gerd and Michael: - instead of returning -EPIPE if host is not connected in the write case, just block the write if it's a blocking file and return -EAGAIN if it's non-blocking. - Removes early_console_printk after the first console is found - Adds early_put_chars fix by Fran??ois Diakhat??. It still needs a sign-off by him. Standard

I tested the memdisk-acpi branch with following results: - Bochs The BIOS provides a RSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT, FACS, APIC, SSDT. memdisk-acpi is able to hook the SSDT. - VMware The BIOS provides a RSDT and XSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*) and XSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*). Tables marked with an asterisk (*) are

Hello all, This new patchset switches over to using the control queue for port discovery so that we can stay in sync with the host for port enumeration and also don't use bitmaps to limit us to config space sizes. This changes the ABI, so it would be better to merge this for 2.6.34 so that we don't have to worry about released kernels with the older ABI. Amit Shah (7): MAINTAINERS:

Hi all I was reading through Xen 3 user manual and saw this tap:aio should be used instead of loopback... Then I came to do that, but I can get it working with replacing `file'' URI''s with `tap:aio''.

Syslinux 3.84 has been released. This is a mixed minor new features/minor bug fixes release. Changes in 3.84: * SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x (Win9x/ME) again. * HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.) * mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by the image. * MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of

CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) Hi, Last night our CentOS 7 server rebooted. Seemingly it's a very clean reboot. I can't find a shred of evidence as to why it happened though. Things I've checked: * sa reports * /var/log/{messages,secure,dmesg,cron} * /var/log/audit/audit.log * lastlog The host is used for KVM virtualisation and connects via multipathing to our OmniOS SAN via

Hi gang, We are moving our computers from a cluster of physical machines to a VMWARE server with virtual machines. We investigated and are looking to replace our TDM400P/TDM410P with AEX410P cards. Can we run asterisk with the DAHDI drivers from one of the Virtual machines or is DAHDI going to have to be a native process on the "REAL" machine? Thanks Danny Nicholas

Hello, I guess it possible distro specific issue but is it resolvable? I have one node(testing purpose) ganeti 2.0.1 cluster installed over Debian5 Lenny. Almost everything from distro repositories. Only ganeti 2.0.1 and ganeti-debootstrap are from sources. I have it successful run with vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686 and initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686 from repositories. Both Dom0 and DomU are use the
