...se the image off the NFS mount. This has the benefit of all images being visible to all hosts (on the NFS mount), but I''m not sure about the performance. 2) Create an image on the SAN server for each XEN host and export it to the XEN servers through iSCSI. The XEN server will see it as a VolumeGroup. Create Logical Volumes in the VolumeGroup for each XEN guest. Has the advantage of using LVM for the guest instead of an image file (which is rumored to be faster). Disadvantage is individual images are not easily moved to other hosts 3) Create a image on the SAN server for each XEN guest and e...

Hello, what would be the easiest and fastest way to migrate a file based DomU to a LVM based DomU. Given that the file contains a partition table + partitions. I tried with an dummy approach: dd if=/path/to/file.img of=/dev/volumegroup/logical-volume. That gives me a logical volume that xm create refuses to use....

...e anything. Further Googling got me the rdshell kernel parameter, and that dropped me to a shell when it failed to find the root device. Reading https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Dracut_problems , I did the following: # lvm vgscan # lvm vgchange -ay And then # ln -s /dev/mapper/<volumegroup>-<root_volume> /dev/root # exit After this, the box boots up normally, and everything works as it should. However, when I reboot, it again fails to find the root device. So, after all this, my question is, how do I make Dracut (I'm assuming) understand that this LVM volume is my ro...

Hello, I have looked into the various network attached storage devices and software based solutions. Can't really find one I like. Would it be possible to add a couple HDs to my existing 6.8 server and set them up as RAID drives? If so, how would I keep it from mirroring the system drive? Just spent$2500 on a transmission for my truck, so I broke right know and need to go the

...e LUN per VM). For each LUN we create an LVM VolGroup. On each VolGroup we create Logical volumes (one for swap, one for root filesystem). We present to the vm the 2 Logical Volume as it was raw disk. In this system we can make live migration between host using local scripts which assume than one VolumeGroup is used only by one host at the same time on the 8 node "cluster". We don't use any clustered aware environment like CLVM. We plan to migrate to kvm and libvirt with the new centos release (CentOS 6). Reading the upstream documentation and libvirt i don't find anything about...

Hi, I am trying to recover data from my old system which had LVM. The disk had two partitions - /dev/sda1 (boot, Linux) and /dev/sda2 (Linux LVM). I had taken a backup of both partitions using dd. Now I am booting of CentOS live cd for system restore. I recreated partitions like previous system using fdisk and then used dd to dump all the data onto it. I would like to mount sda2 as LVM, but I

Hello, Can you check following entrys: Old: disk = [''phy:vm_volumes/root.dhcp1,sda1,w'', ''phy:vm_volumes/var.dhcp1,sda2,w'', ''phy:vm_volumes/swap.dhcp1,sda3,w''] New: disk = [''phy:/vm_volumes/root.dhcp1,sda1,w'', ''phy:/vm_volumes/var.dhcp1,sda2,w'',

Hi all, I've a 30TB hardware based RAID array. Wondering what you all thought of using ext4 over XFS. I've been a big XFS fan for years as I'm an Irix transplant but would like your opinions. This 30TB drive will be an NFS exported asset for my users housing home dirs and other frequently accessed files. - aurf

Hi All, I've been trying to figure out the best way of using an iSCSI SAN with KVM and thanks to a helpful post by Tom Georgoulias that I found on this list (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2010-May/msg00008.html), it appears I have a solution. What I'm wondering is the following: 1) If I use an iSCSI LUN as the storage pool (instead of creating an LVM VG from this iSCSI

Hello, I've got a single-drive CentOS5 system with two partitions on it, a 101 mb boot, and the rest of the disk as an lvm volume, two partitions in it, / and swap. I've got another disk, same size, and i'd like to add it in as a primary slave drive and convert this system to raid1 for redundancy. I do not want to reinstall this box, which is what the docs i've read say

I want to replace an existing 32bit with a 64bit installation (Centos 5). There's an existing LVM with lots of partitions. Most are used for Xen guests. The system itself uses only one of them plus a separate /boot partition that is not on LVM. What's the best course of action here? Should I do the reinstall with kickstart or better manually and reuse the existing filesystem? As I

I recently upgraded storage on our (first) xen server and would like to migrate the file-based vms I have in play to lvm-based storage... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a way to mount a vm image file like I would using a iso image and a loopback device? Each vm''s disk file contains a partition table with root and swap partitions... In retrospect I wish I''d
