Two-node AFR with two clients, all four machines identical, v2.0.9, etc. I notice that one client is able to read and write much more quickly than the other and I'm wondering how I go about finding why that is. In a two-node AFR, is one node always elected to be the primary node for writes and does that apply for reads too? That would explain my situation (client0 and server0 share a

Hi all, I''m a newbie on this list. I''m using xen 3.0.3 on CentOS50. I installed a new flavor of kernel in a domU via a standard RPM, which modified my grub.conf by adding a new entry to boot on the new kernel. When rebooting the domU by pygrub, I didn''t see the new grub entry. I tried to restart xend, with no effect. By googling a little, I understood that kernel

Hi. I''m using Xen on RHEL cluster, and I have strange problems. I gave raw volumes from storage to Xen virtual machines. With windows, I have a problem that nodes don''t see the volume as same one.... for example: clusternode1# clusvcadm -d vm:winxp clusternode1# dd if=/dev/mapper/winxp of=/node1winxp clusternode2# dd if=/dev/mapper/winxp of=/node2winxp clusternode3# dd

Hi All, We''ve limitation of 500 GB per server as per ServerLoft. we are needing to store word/pdf files. We are planning to use following setup. /dev/sda1 - boot - ext2 /dev/sda2 - swap /dev/sda3 - dom0 - ext3 /dev/sda4 - LVM - one LV for each domU, We''re planning 3 DomUs. /dev/sda5 - FreeNAS. Is that possible? Can it be in one of the LVs under 4th partition? Currently, one

Hi, folks, I''m attempting to run an e-mail server on Xen. The e-mail system is Novell GroupWise, and it serves about 250 users. The disk volume for the e-mail is on my SAN, and I''ve attached the FC LUN to my Xen host, then used the "phy:/dev..." method to forward the disk through to the domU. I''m running into an issue with high I/O wait on the box (~250%)

Hi. Here is the short version: If dom0 experiences a short (< 120 second) network outage the guests whose disks are on iSCSI LUNs get (seemingly) unrecoverable IO errors. Is it possible to make Xen more resiliant to such problems? And now the full version: We''re testing Xen on iSCSI LUNs. The hardware/software configuration is: * Dom0 and guest OS: SLES10 x86_64 * iSCSI LUN on

Hi, I''m curious about how you guys deal with big virtualization installations. To this date we only dealt with a small number of VM''s (~10)on not too big hardware (2xquad xeons+16GB ram). As I''m the "storage guy" I find it quite convenient to present to the dom0s one LUN per VM that makes live migration possible but without the cluster file system or cLVM

We don''t have nearly as many and yet, we see occasional errors ("End of file reached") which seems to indicate the network cutting out. I can''t imagine what would

Hello Everyone, I recently had a question that got no responses about GFS+DRBD clusters for Xen VM storage, but after some consideration (and a lot of Googling) I have a couple of new questions. Basically what we have here are two servers that will each have a RAID-5 array filled up with 5 x 320GB SATA drives, I want to have these as useable file systems on both servers (as they will both be

Hi All, I''m currently installing RHEL 5.1 with Xen and I want to manage the server using a management console that is equivalent with VMware Console or Web based management.

Hi, I was wondering if there is any of getting the gem package provider to run non-interactively? When upgrading mongrel it fails because it gets prompted for which version to install: Attempting remote update of mongrel Select which gem to install for your platform (x86_64-linux) 1. mongrel 1.1.1 (ruby) 2. mongrel 1.1.1 (jruby) 3. mongrel 1.1.1 (mswin32) 4. mongrel 1.1 (mswin32) 5.

Hello, I have a small Xen farm of 8 dom0 servers with 64 virtual machines running para-virtualized and this has been working great. Unfortunately, I''ve hit a limit: my iSCSI hardware supports only 512 concurrent connections and so I''m pretty much at the limit. (Wish I would have seen that problem sooner!) Of course, 87% of those connections are idle-- but necessary because I

HI Dom0 is CentOS 5.2, 64-bit, Xen version 3.2.1 and 3.2.2. I got Fiber SAN disk system and 2 servers and i am making shared LUN available to both servers. Then i got multipath layer running on both Dom0s and so Xen is seeing device-mapper file, instead of two /dev/sdX devices, then i have setup Xen domU (HVM Windows 2003) using /dev/mapper/sharedLUN as physical storage to my windows server.

I would like to get some opinions on a backup method using rsync. I already have a script written to mirror the data over to a backup script from a cron that is run every night. I've also been tempted to use the "--delete" option to keep everything up to date on the backup server. However, this is probably a bad idea in the event my data is deleted from the "/home"

For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

This patch updates the files under popt/ to the latest vendor drop. The only change is the inclusion of a FreeBSD-specific patch to popt.c. This is needed in case somebody decides to build rsync on that platform without using the port. I'm not happy about the wording in popt/README.rsync so I may change it. The patch is available at http://www.catnook.com/rsync-popt-1.5.1.patch Comments

I would like to use dnsmasq to cache nameserver query results, and I have set dhcp to prepend the 127.0.0.1 name-server to the list of nameservers. dnsmasq would then automatically exclude the localhost as a name server and use all the others from the list provided by dhcp. But it was too nice to be true, because NetworkManager was there, ready to mess up anything I try to do, including the
