Just wondering about which QEMU version to use. Looking in the xl.cfg MAN page, you can choose from "qemu-xen-traditional" or "qemu-xen", however i have seen a third one "qemu-dm" WHICH is not listed in the xl.cfg man page. I know the "qemu-xen-traditional" device-model is the default one as it is more stable, compatible and so forth. The

Just out of annoyance more than curiosity, but ever since I started using Xen 4.2-unstable rev-25467, every time I try to run "sudo xl create <domu_config_file>", or "sudo xl reboot", or "sudo xl destroy", it always gives me this message: "*xend is running, which prevents xl from working correctly. If you still want to force the execution of xl please

Hi Everyone, As some of you are aware, I''m a very security paranoid person. I guess this is a good way to be :) Anyway, is the 3.4.x branch of Xen still "supported"? By supported, I mean are security and bug fixes still being developed? Or is everything moving to 4.0? I''ve set up some Xen infrastructure using Xen 3.4.2 (due to upgrade to 3.4.3 in a couple of

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64 Version: 4.4.1-9 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Dear Maintainer, After upgrading the R610 server from Debian 7 to Debian 8, the dom0 becomes unresponsive via ssh after an hour or so, although the domUs still remain accessible.

Hi all, I''ve been trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 under Xen 3.1 on Red Hat, but it keeps blue screening after the first reboot during the install. It seems to only affect 2008 R2. Windows Server 2008 installs fine, rebooting a couple of times along the way. With R2, it will go through the initial unpack and install, and then it reboots. I''m installing it

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

I attempted to install Ubuntu 10.04 as a domU on my CentOS dom0. The process I used was: wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/xm-debian.cfg Edited the config file to use the proper logical volume for its install, and stepped through the install, installed GRUB to the MBR, and all seemed well. However, upon xm create -c NAME

Hi folks: At work, I have an R510, and R610 and an R710 - all with the H700 PERC controller. Based on experiments, it seems like there is no way to bypass the PERC controller - it seems like one can only access the individual disks if they are set up in RAID0 each. This brings me to ask some questions: a. Is it fine (in terms of an intelligent controller coming in the way of ZFS) to have the
