Hi, I''m trying to figure out how XEN decides which VNC port a particular VM will associate with. From what little there is in the documentation, it indicates that XEN will choose 5900+DomainID. From experience, this doesn''e seem to happen. When I start a guest domain, and do "xm list" its domainID shows as "22", however, when I netstat -a , it shows listening

Hello, I''m struggling to handle the amount of memory that dom0 gets on some system. It''s a system with 8GB of RAM, running 2.6.38-6 with pv_ops and Xen 4.1 If I want to set the amount of memory for dom0, I get very bogus results. See here: http://pastebin.com/gRgY9ERN If I use the M notation (xl mem-set 0 4096M) the outcome is similarily unpredictable, and sometimes I get the

Hi guys, Having a weird issue with a Dom0. When we were running 2.6.18.8 kernel the server would lock up every 2 weeks for no reason. Its been a difficult one to resolve as there are no errors. We have now upgraded to 2.6.32.13 and the lock ups are more often. For example today it crashed in the morning, then it was rebooted and it crashed again about 5 hours later, no logs. The

Hey all, I have moved 10_Linux to 50_Linux and ran update-grub which is fine. The problem I have is that there is xen-syms in /boot And that is being put first in the boot list which is incorrect. How do you make /xen.gz at the top so it is booted first? Thanks Ian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi, Can someone help. Ive setup xen on a fresh build but are having problems setting up grub. Ive run update-grub which has scanned the /boot folder and created the entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg but im not sure how to add the dom0_mem=512M parameter?

Hi, DomU is a Win2008 R2 64 When i install the GPLPV drivers the network latency goes from 15ms to random numbers up to 1200ms and eventually dies. If you run a ping from the DomU to another host the network stays alive but the high latency is still there. Further more if i try and uninstall the network driver i am unable to use the old one (realtek) as it cannot detect the device.

Hello everyone, I am trying to install windows xp as a guest OS. It runs through the installer just fine, but every time I reboot, it keeps booting back to the installer.

I am running a Xen HVM guest with netfront PV drivers. This is running SLES10 SP3 inside the guest. The Dom0 is also SLES10 SP3. Now I am trying to communicate from that HVM guest to a Windows Visa or also Windows 7 machine and I am getting really poor TCP performance. When tracing on the network traffic, I can see that no packets are dropped or missing or anything, but what happens is that the

Hi, Im just setting up a new server which I have nearly complete. I have the DomUs automatically starting by placing the sym links in /etc/xen/auto and by executing /etc/init.d/xendomains on startup however I cannot get them to shutdown gracefully. I have set in /etc/default/xendomains to shutdown and not save but it seems this setting is ignored and the DomUs just get killed. Is

Hey, I attempted to install netware a while ago but failed miserably. I am now attempting this again and have got much further. The issue im having now is that when installing via VNC it gets to the network detection and attempts to load RTSSRV.LAN but then complains about the driver failing to load and deletes the driver which then means i cannot continue with the install. I have

Hi, On a slightly different topic there seems to be some sort of issue with Intel chipset 915G and windows 2003. The guests seem to stop responding after some time unless you connect via VNC to the guest and move the mouse over the window, the guest them comes back to life. Another guy said it was like a symptom that he had seen before called ''lost interupt'' I was wondering if

Hi, we are trying to secure our Xen boxes with IPtables on Dom0 but we always seem to get cut off and can only cure it be rebooting the box.
