Hi guys, I followed this article to install my first xen project to compare its CPU/memory and I/O performance with a kvm domain on CentOS 6.4. http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Building_a_Xen_Virtual_Guest_Filesystem_on_a_Disk_Image_%28Cloning_Host_System%29 In the initial tests whit super.pi benchmarck the CPU performance of my xen domai was extremely worst than my kvm domain. Well, I am think that maybe, something was wrong in my xen setup. So I decided...

When I attempt to migrate a VM from one host to another (sles-xen-2 -> sles-xen-1) I get the error message: > sles-xen-2:~ # xm migrate --live SLES-11-SP2-1 192.168.1.3 > Error: can''t connect: [Errno 111] Connection refused > ...

Dear All: I am using Xen 3.3 on a Fedora 8 machine and failed to start a guest domain from an exported NFS directory. The step I follow is as follows NFS server: 192.168.1.1 NFS client: 192.168.1.201 1: I copy the guest.img, which can be corrected booted on NFS client to the NFS server. 2: On the NFS server mount guest.img /xen/guest; such that if I do a ls /xen/guest, I can see all the

I downloaded vmlinuz and initrd from here renamed them to vmlinuz-xen-install and initrd-xen-install and placed both above in /boot http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images/xen/ and then in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf install-method = rinse dist = centos-5 image = sparse kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-xen-install initrd = /boot/initrd-xen-install serial_device = hvc0

Hi, I''ve created a domU in para-virtualization. But now I need to change it to full-virtualization. Is it possible to upgrade/change the VM virtualization mode without impact the OS+App in the VM? And How? Thanks, Jerry _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

I realize this might be one of those religious topics, but is there any good rule of thumb as to how to setup storage for a Xen domU? Without really knowing any better, I''m basically going to make a disk image of the OS and the create a ''data'' partition on my raid 5 volume for each virtual machine. This is for use at home, so in reality it probably doesn''t

Hello, I''ve recently installed a hvm domU opensuse 11 guest and I cannot set the screen resolution higher then 640x480.

Is some video driver missing? -- Flavio
