hello ! i try to use a network technology on one single host, which wasn`t designed for that. to give a short overview of what i`m talking about: AoE is just like a "networked blockdevice" (just like nbd/enbd) - but without tcp/ip. AoE kernel driver is the "client end" (see this like an iSCSI initiator) - and an etherblade storage appliance is the "server end"

...I exported an lvm device (worked fine on non xen machine) with: vblade 2 0 eth0 (2 is shelf number and 0 is slot number -- can be anything). If I export from non-xen, it shows up on other machines as /dev/etherd/e2.0, but the xen machine can''t see it when others export either. (Note, vblades from your own machine don''t show up in your /dev/etherd/ -- only on other hosts) As this is dom0, I''m not sure why the aoe module is not seeing the packets (unless the bridge is messing it up). Any tips for debugging this would be appreciated -- I don''t really care i...

I ran into an interesting/strange issue today. I still don''t understand what happened, but in know what fixed it. I had a situation where I could only see vblade exported devices from OFF the physical machine. It seemed that if the packets went through two ports of the bridge (instead of one port and the real interface) they got "lost". I sniffed around and failed to

Guys, I have setup my hard disc with 3 partitions: 1- 256MB on /boot; 2- 2GB on / for my dom0 (Debian 5.0) (eth0 default bridge for guests LAN); 3- 498GB exported with vblade-persist to my network (eth1 for the AoE protocol). On dom0 hypervisor01: vblade-persist setup 0 0 eth1 /dev/sda3 vblade-persist start all How to create a CVLM VG with /dev/etherd/e0.0 on each of my dom0s? Including the

Dear all: I''m sorry I crossmail. I try setup aoe-vblade server on netbsd 5.0.2(domU) and I try to do some stress test with for i in {65536}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/etherd/e?.? bs=4K;done on a Linux box Two Xen dom0 configurations I use: 1. 32bits SuSE Enterprise Linux 11sp1 2.6.32.12-0.7-xen with 32bits Xen 4.0.0_21091_04-0.2.6 2. 64bits Gentoo 2.6.32-xen-r1 with 64bits Xen 4.0.0

I''ve installed debian lenny amd64, it is frozen now. I''ve install kernel for xen support but it doesn''t start. It says "you need to load kernel first" but I''ve installed all the packages concerning xen, also packages related to the kernel. Perhaps lenny doesn''t support xen anymore? Any solution?

Hi people. Im new on Xen and I''m looking in how to do a physical migration on Xen. I know that there is a lot of choices (that is the first problem) My environment is simple: 2 physical servers, each one running one instance of XEN. Each host has 2 gigabit cards. One to talk with the world, other to talk between theirselves. I want to run the every vm on the both hosts, if one fail

Hi people... Here we use Xen 4 with Debian Lenny... We''re using kernel 2.6.31.13 pvops... As a storage system, we use AoE devices... So, we installed VM''s on AoE partition... The "NAS" server is a Intel based baremetal with SATA hard disc... However, sometime I feeling that VM''s is so slow... Also, all VM has GPLPV drivers installed... So, I am thing about

Hi, We are planning to have LVM being used over a network of 3 h/w machines(500 GB Disk each) Each hardware machine will have 2-3 domUs. Can we store these domUs as a Logical Volumes stored across Network of these 3 machines? Can one DomU exceed the 500 GB (physical drive size) and store say 1 TB of data across the networked Physical Volumes? Has anyone done this before? Thanks and regards,

Hello, We are going to buy some NFS storage for 6-8 VMs on a single host, but want to expand to a second host. What storage recommendations would you give if you have between 2000 and 5000 USD? How about nexenta? what hardware would you use? any vendor? Experiences with openfiler and opennas? Thanks for the responses. Daniel -- +-=====---------------------------+ |

I''ve been brainstorming... I want to create a 2-node HA active/active cluster (In other words I want to run a handful of DomUs on one node and a handful on another). In the event of a failure I want all DomUs to fail over to the other node and start working immediately. I want absolutely no single-points-of-failure. I want to do it with free software and no special hardware. I want

Hello, I have encountered a crash in dom0 kernel while booting a domU from an AOE device. I haven''t seen such crashes when booting from local partitions/ LVM volumes/ loopback file systems. Also I haven''t seen such crash when I did repetitive I/O to these AOE devices. As the call trace of crash indicates the crash is in xenolinux kernel. Also this crash is predictably

Hi. We've been using PXELINUX for years, to kick off OS installations (floppy images) and booting assorted tools. The addition of ISO support in memdisk opened up some new alternatives that we also use, e.g. booting WinPE ISO images over PXE. Today I downloaded a BIOS for a HP EliteBook 8440p and discovered that the BIOS file is 3 MB. I could probably squeeze it onto a 2.88 MB floppy image

I want to thank everyone who has provided insight into my thread about clustering MySql. I kind of just sat back and watched it develop. I learned a lot from it all. I have been reading all of the documentation on clustering provided by Centos/Red Hat, and find I travel in circles. I read one chapter and answer a self-imposed question but I end up asking myself another. What I really want to
