Hello, I have been testing James'' GPLPV drivers and found excellent performance when using iperf but have been having issues when trying to download a file from a shared folder on my Windows 2003 Enterprise HVM to any other system whether it is linux or windows. Basically my initial iperf tests were showing 937Mbits/sec down and 345Mbits/sec up but when I try to copy a 2GB file

Hi James Harper and others, I seen that problem already discussed early, but maybe it help you make hiding qemu devices when install gplpv driver. For now, when install gplpv i has not working qemu disk driver (gplpv works) and not working gplpv network (i think i can disable realtek network card and then gplpv will work). When you discuss German and French windows versions - you ask about

Have 4 xen servers with windows domains. 2 work OK and 2 have xp domains with slow network performance. Doing most of the testing on a xen system that currently is not in production. Running xen 4.0 with 2.6.32 kernel from lenny backports. Have xp service pack3 freshly installed with no updates. Installed gplpv gplpv_XP_0.11.0.213.msi hdtack gives 60mb/sec which is good iperf gives ~15Mbits/sec

Hi, I''m using the Windows gplpv drivers (0.11.0.372) on a Windows 2008 R2 x86_64 and I''m trying to retrieve the network interface statistics using WMI or SNMP. Both of them show values for Packets Sent, Packets Received and Bytes Sent but Bytes Received has always the value of 0, anyone has the same problem? Thanks -- Paulo Silva <paulojjs@gmail.com>

I have some real problems with the xennet, when disable and try to enable the nic I get a BSoD due to ndis.sys Further more the system still fails to get an IP using dhcp. The box is after a lot of cleanup, now on the 217 GPLPV. I could provide additional details on demand next week. (I''m unsure to get the machine earlier in my reach due to an on site power outage) thx, Florian

I''ve just committed a fix to hg that fixes a problem in the bug check code, which mostly explains why crash dumps weren''t always being written out, and I have a suspicion that without the fix there is a chance of filesystem corruption when a crash dump occurs. Can anyone using GPLPV comment on whether they might have seen this? Basically, everything works fine under GPLPV (no

Shutdownmon seems to be working properly on XP, now, too! Thanks, James! -Nick >>> "James Harper" <james.harper@bendigoit.com.au> 2008/12/19 18:49 >>> > 1.

I''m running Xen 3.3.0 with AMD Opteron 2350s. Windows 2003 32bit SP2+patches. When I bring a Windows VM up with the GPLPV drivers, it runs until I try to do anything with the network and then it crashes. Trying to web browse will lock the VM up, RDPing to it will lock the VM up. I''ve tried 0.9.11 and 0.9.12pre13, both with the same results. I''ve removed the

Hi James, I''m testing GPLPV 0.9.12-pre13 on Windows 2008 x64, and found some interesting results : - The drivers are NOT signed, even though I''ve install certs. Had to use F8 on boot. - both QEMU and Xen block device are active, which usually means corruption is coming. Is this a known issue? http://i44.tinypic.com/2vmypvk.png http://i42.tinypic.com/2mewnia.png Regards, Fajar

Hello Xen Users, i''m having difficulties installing the latest signed Version of the gplpv drivers for windows. After uninstalling them i had to go to windows setup to import the OS registry and remove the upperfilter stuff that was left, as well as the services and so on. Now once I install them again, the devices (net and pci) show up in the device manager, but windows

Hi there. I have been dealing with a conundrum off and on with a VPS of mine. Windows 2003 Standard 32 bit on a Xen HVM instance. Been trying to get the GPLPV drivers working to help boost performance but always seem to run into one major issue: The PV network device looks like it works but actual connectivity is non-existant. Everything else in the GPLPV driver suite works fine. What I want to

I guess I have stumbled upon a bug in gplpv drivers. If you try to re-enable an nic adapter after disabling it, it just hides out of blue. And you have to reboot. Latest version of gplpv drivers and Windows 2008 R2 here. Anyone else noticed the same issue? I wonder if this is related to hot-plugging something like

Hi, Do the gplpv drivers work with stubdom? I''ve tried to get them working and posted to the mailing list for help but the only reply I got was a suggestion to use config settings which appear to allow the gplpv drivers to access the hd at the same time as the stubdom, which might work but isnt what I was after, have I misunderstood stubdom and there is no advantage to using gplpv

I''m using W2K2 32bit on a 3.2.1 Lenny-amd64 host. While the pv disk driver works as expected, I encounter problems with the network driver. I tried several installation scenarios, all with the same result. My test looks like this: I install gplpv, but without letting the networking driver install. After reboot I RTL8139 ist still active and working, and gplpv devices manage the disks.

Hi all, i''ve been trying for two days to get rid of the gplpv drivers on a W2003Sp2 machine. I''ve followed all kinds of tutorials and suggestions but there must be something I''m doing wrong because even after having gone through all the process I always end up with an "Unknown PCI Device" that wants to be installed every time I reboot (either with or without

QCOW2 disk image gets corrupted when you try to install Service Pack 1 AFTER installing GPLPV drivers. This means, without the pv drivers, everything works fine. I tested both RAW and QCOW2 without GPLPV drivers and the installation has completed without any error, and the image (at least qcow2) has no errors too. How to reproduce: - Install Windows 7 32-bit guest - Check the image with

1. Shouldn''t the GPLPV drivers take care of the (bad) clock drift I''m experiencing in my Windows XP HVM? Or is there some other way around this problem that I haven''t been able to find on Google? How can I tell if the GPLPV drivers are active? I''ve added the /gplpv switch to the boot.ini file and the virtual NIC is definitely using the GPLPV version but other
