Hi, I am running a cluster having 2 nodes using red hat cluster suite. node 1 has a para virtualized guest(centOS) running under Xen. My question is when node1 is rebooted, guest is automatically relocated to node 2 . Instead of relocation, is migration possible in this case which can result in Zero down time? Thanks in adv Paras. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

hi, My volume group is vg. Inside that i have around 10 lvm partitions (each of 100GB). When I try to remove partitions using lvremove /dev/vg/lvm1 It acts like the machine freezes and after a long time the lvremove process gets killed saying "Killed" Whats wrong here.

Hi, Need help on data recovery. Suddenly my disk device's geometry has been changed to something that doesnot make any sense. Its a 1.8TB in size and had only one single partition.

Hello all, When I live migrate my centos guest from node1 to node2, I can ping the guest, but on node 2 if i do: xm console guest01 , I am not able to access it.

hi all.. Is it recommended to use GNBD in production cluster? . The main purpose of this cluster would be to provide high availablity of Xen virtual machines. I don''t have a fencing device hence I am giving a thought to use GNBD since it can be used in fencing without any fencing hardware. Also, any pointers to the tutorial on using gnbd with RHCS and xen would be great. Thanks Paras.

Hi, I added additional storage to my domU using xm block-attach and tap:aio. Then increased my root device (using vgextend, lvextend and resizefs) which is / or /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00. Everything worked fine util I did "xm save domid test1.img" This stopped my domU. And now when I run: xm create domU -c , I am seeing -- Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes.
