I apologize if this is a newbie question, but I have been unable to work out how to do this. I am adding code to my installation on dom0 (running CentOS 5.3) to monitor for hardware faults. If there is an issue, I want to propagate the status to all of the domUs (running CentOS 4.x or CentOS 5) running on the host. What are my options to do this?? Thanks! David -------------- next part

I am running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 as my dom0 and CentOS 5.3 on my domU's. On the dom0, I have two interfaces that are bonded and have tagged VLANs. I can get the networks to the domU's by creating a bridge for each of the VLANS (bond0.3, bond0.4, etc). On the domU, the interfaces show up as eth0, eth1, etc. Is there a way to set up the network on the dom0 so my domU's see a single

I am investigating building a live CD image to be used as KVM host and then putting that image on a USB key (to end up with a environment similar to ESXi). I see tools in in Fedora for both tasks, but I have not seen them in CentOS. Before I blaze a path, I was wondering if anyone has done this before.. Thanks for any feedback, David

I am using CentOS 5.5 with KVM as a host and have a need for one guest to be able to have promiscuous read access to one port on the physical host (which is an HP BL460 G6 blade server with Intel 2 port 1Gb ethernet mezzanine card.) I initially tried to use PCI passthrough, but I was unable to get it to work. I set everything up as documented in RHEL documentation

I have a KVM guest running on CentOS 5.5 that is in a bad state. I would like to dump the kernel information using magic-sysrq commands, but I cannot figure out how to send a break on the virtaul serial port provided by "virsh console". The guest is a standard install that will respond if I can send a break on the virtual serial port. Is it possible to send a break on the virtual

I am using CentOS 5.6 as a KVM host. My guests are running CentOS 5.6 with the only console being a virtual serial console. The guests are configured so magic-sysreq can be used to debug kernel issues. However, in order to send magic-sysrq from a serial port, I need to send a break. How does one send a break on the virtual console serial port provided by KVM/libvirt to guests? Thanks,

Hi, We recently purchased some HP Gen8 servers with Broadcom BCM57810 NIC controllers. I am running CentOS 6.2 on these servers configured as KVM hosts. Has anyone gotten the Broadcom chips to run with SR-IOV on CentOS 6.2? Any clues on how to get it working? I see from the Broadcom glossy marketing docs that this chip supports SR-IOV, but I cannot find a procedure for configuring it. The
