Hi, We are thinking of using CentOS with XEN in production, but we are facing some issues regarding the 3.0.3 version of the xen hypervisor and windows paravirtualization. The drivers we are using are from here ( http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv). The solution we found is upgrading to xen 3.4.2, using a strange repository (gitco.de), and everything seems to work. Now the question is: would you recomand using the 3.0.3 kernel provided by CentOS in production and searching for other paravirtualization drivers, or go with 3.4.2? Is this versi...

There seems to be an outdated page to use PV drivers here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv I''d be great if that could be updated. After installing the PV drivers in windows I didn''t notice any difference in performance at all. Windows says the drivers are working. Some more searching and reading and it appears that I do actually need to make some changes to my window...

Hello, some have maybe heard of the GPL dirvers for KVM. See: http://www.techworld.com.au/article/316219/red_hat_open_sources_windows_virtualisation_drivers Is there any profit that Xen can get from this ?

hi, I am using xen-unstable version and I can use the serial port to debug DomU openSuSE Linux with kgdb very well. But it doesn''t work when I am trying to debug DomU WinXP with windbg. I happened to find this link http://www.evilbitz.com/2006/12/13/howto-debugging-a-remote-windows-hvm-under-xen-using-windbg/, but it still doesn''t work for me. Any suggestions about this?

Hi all, after installing the driver ( I used the Vista-2008-Debug version) and rebooting, the system presents me an interface for recovering the OS using an image. I use Xen 3.3.1 Is there a workaround? Thanks and regards, Francesco Gallo _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi, Could anybody send me some code samples about how to use event channel (Dom0 and DomU, xenstore) and shared memory(grant table)? thanks a lot.

Hi, Is it possible to connect windbg to guest windows 2008 R2, over xen? Anyone how did it succesfully?

Hello all, I have a PowerEdge 2950 that I am using to host Windows XP VM's under CentOS. I am experiencing poor performance in the Xen VM's. Any time I try to do something, the CPU usage (as reported by the Windows task manager) hits 100% for a few and then drops back down. This is causing the VM's to run sluggish and be quite annoying to use. Example.. I click IE.. cpu hits

Hi, we''ll start virtualization with Xen in our company and we''re looking for the right distribution. The most important Servers in DomUs are working with a MS OS (Win2000/2003/2008). I''ve read something about to accelerate Windows with paravirtual drivers in some distributions. Other distributions have specific tools to install and support DomUs. And now I''m

Hi, I have created a virtual system via xen and would like to strip some unrequired virtual hardware from it. Example: my virtual Windows system shows me a scsi PCI device (as unknown device). I would like to get rid of it - I am only using IDE in the virtual system. How can I hide specific hardware from the virtual system? Cheers, Emre P.S.: as far as I understand specifying

Dear Xen users! In case you were struggling with recent version of th gplpv drivers, I''ve possibly found an LVM related bug in it, and reported to James Harper. Thats''s the point: I''ve tested the mentioned version of your driver on top of 32bit xen-3.2.1 32bit xen-3.3.0 and 64bit xen xen-3.3.0 hypervisors, dom0 was always an appropriate version of a 32bit PAE kernel,

I have a Win2K3 domU (and thankfully an image backup of the LVM volume that holds its system disk) I previously installed GPLPV v0.8.9 drivers, the domU boots OK with or without the /GPLPV switch in boot.ini, however with the /GPLPV switch it tries and fails to use the Xen network driver, and so the machine is network-less, so for the past few months I''ve left it using pure HVM

...e the boot.ini (and the vista equivalent) yet, and I''m a bit reluctant to try it as there is plenty of potential to break things. I have added some documentation on the use of bcdedit to the wiki though (you can get to the wiki page from the start menu, or http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv), so if someone can have a look and let me know if there''s a better way I''d be very grateful. Other than that, I fixed a bug which was stopping the drivers working for me under windows 2008, so if 2008 or Vista wasn''t working previously you might like to try this version...

The following series flushes my documentation queue and replaces previous postings of those patches. The main difference is that the xl cfg file is now formatted using POD instead of markdown and presented as a manpage. I have setup a cron job to build docs/html and publish it at http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/ (it''s a bit bare right now). The motivation for some of these patches
