similar to: Using XL toolstack (Xen) with DRBD

Hej folks, I''m messing around with DRBD once again but with a new Xen 4.1.2 installation using the XL toolstack instead of the xend daemon. However, after getting my DRBD installed and a device operational, trying to create a domU using the drbd block device doesn''t want to work: xl create -c test.cfg Parsing config file test.cfg Unknown disk type: drbd My config has: disk

Hello, After creating and destroying a number of domUs, I noticed that /local/domain/0/backend starts to get cluttered when using XL. The vif, vfb, vkbd, and vbd sections look like this: 270 = "" 271 = "" 272 = "" 273 = "" 274 = "" 275 = "" Where the dom ID is set to an empty value, however the console

Package: xen-utils-4.1 Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1 Severity: important Tags: security patch When you use xl toolstack, you can't reboot domUs. When you switch back to xm toolstack, than reboot works again. I think the problem with the debian packaged version is the same as in this thread: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-09/msg01289.html I also think it's a security issue,

Hello, While using xen 4.1-testing.hg (r23202) I noticed that the ''vifname'' config value is not handled by xl, but is handled by xm. Is there a workaround or patch for this? My firewall and scripts depend on static vifnames. XM works good - it adds multiple interfaces to multiple bridges and configures them appropriately. But with xl it differs -- here only tap devices are

Hello all I''ve just installed xen 4.1.1 on my server and was tryoing to tweak xendomains script to work with new xl schema but I can´t get it to save domains. It does start them with some changes I made to it but when I issue service xendomains stop I just get [ OK ] but domains stay running. Has xendomains script been ported to work with 4.1.1 or is there another alternative to it.

I''ve migrated my Dom0 host to Xen 4.2.0 + xl toolstack. With ''xm'' toolstack, configs in /etc/xen/auto are autostarted, assuming xend/xendomains services are started. IIUC, when using xl toolstack, those services are not to be started; and, afaict, the installation process for 4.2 has them disabled by default. Now, the configs in /etc/xen/auto are simply ignored. I

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.1.2-7 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, The script /usr/lib/xen-common/bin/xen-toolstack improperly aborts if *either* `xm` or `xl` cannot be found in the xen-dir (/usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin). This means that a default installation (e.g. following Debian wiki on the subject, namely installing xen-linux-system and

I tried to create a domain with drbd based disk as the backend "drbd:<resourcename>,..," and I get a "unknown disk type" error. I can spin out a patch if needed, but just wanted to know apriori if this was left out for any specific reason. shriram _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

I noticed recently that there is no real easy way to get the kernel driver for blktap working in mainline. I''ve pulled down the source from Daniel Stodden''s linux git tree on xensource, but it looks like it''s for debian and I''m running Fedora 14, so I''m trying to sort it out. I run the 3.1.x kernel and don''t want to go back to the 2.6.32 that

Hi, I must find a way around the way live migration now uses ssh. I tested it and I see high cpu usage by SSH and overall sense of things being slow. My prod systems have a dedicated, fast link for live migration, but with ssh it would be crippled down to a <1Gbit. Does anyone have a working example of how to not use SSH as the transport layer? I guess this is what the -s option is for, but I

Hey all, we're in the process of checking out alternatives to our index storage. We're currently storing indexes on a NetApp Metrocluster which works fine, but is very expensive. We're planning a few different setups and doing some actual performance tests on them. Does anyone know some of the IO patterns of the indexes? For instance: - mostly random reads or linear reads/writes?

I have just installed Xen by following http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Beginners_Guide All in all pretty good, however it mentions using the xl toolset but when I first installed only the xm toolset would work. This was great for creating linux based domains but it gave me an error about hvm when I tried creating a Windows domain. I then apt-get install xen-tools-common and edited /etc/default/xen

Hello, everybody! Does anyone have experience of running win7/winxp with xl? As for me, I got HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED BSOD on win7 booting and guest hanging in case of winxp. When i run these guests (with the same configs) with xm, everything is ok. The guests boot perfectly. Did anyone run into it too? I use the lattest xen-unstable, but i saw the problem several months ago too. My

Hi Folks, Anybody have any recent experience building a small cluster that combines GlusterFS and Xen (with bonus points for a Debian environment)? We''re getting ready to shift from a 2-node Xen/Pacemaker/DRBD environment to a 4-node environment - and I''d really like to be able to create/migrate/failover/delete VMs transparently across all 4 nodes. Seems like Gluster might

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

QUESTION: What, if anything, can I do so that I can use xl (in place of xm) with libvirt 1.0.2 and Xen 4.2.1 in Ubuntu 13.04? BACKGROUND: I am testing a fully updated (as of March 27) installation of Ubuntu 13.04 that includes the following packages: libvirt - version 1.0.2-0ubuntu9 xen-hypervisor-4.2-amd64 - version 4.2.1-0ubuntu1 Upon setting TOOLSTACK=xm in /etc/default/xen (as well as
