similar to: install xen 4.2.1 on ubuntu 12.04

I had a supermicro server SuperServer 1027R-WRF4+ and a old Dell PowerEdge 2950. In both machines I setup centos 6.5, which is running 3.10.34-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64. I follow Xen4Cen wiki to setup Xen, I had other servers running Centos 5.x without issues. Now, once I build my vm's dom-u centos 6.5/centos 5.9 both x64, I receive different erros, let me show u the message I receive in my

I accidentally realized today that any domU''s using the paravirt disk driver potentially suffer from poor performance when they get handed in a physical volume and partitioning is done inside the guest. The physical volume passed in has to be one that has the compat 512 logical sector size but hints its real sector size (eg. 4096) as physical sector size. In dom0 handling is correct and

I''m having problems starting more than three domains. It sometimes works fine, but more often than not the 4th domain''s root block device times out and so the domU kernel panics as there''s no /dev/root: XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vbd/2057 (state 6) XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vif/0 (state 6) XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device:

This patch contains fixes for persistent grants implementation v2: * handle == 0 is a valid handle, so initialize grants in blkback setting the handle to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE instead of 0. Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. * new_map is a boolean, use "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0. Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. * blkfront announces the

Hi All, I am working on creating storage driver domain with xen-4.3.0 . I am referring this - http://wiki.xen.org/wiki?title=Storage_driver_domains&oldid=9371 I have created Storage domain with xl utility of xen, then followed above wiki for rest of the steps, additionally I did install blktap-dkms package also- Following xen processes are running on Domain 0:

Hey Jens, Please in your spare time (if there is such a thing at a conference) pull this branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-jens-3.10 for your v3.10 branch. Sorry for being so late with this. <blurb> It has the ''feature-max-indirect-segments'' implemented in both backend and frontend. The current problem with the backend and

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

Ok So I''ve been able to successfully create a CentOS5 virt-install on xen using LVM created partitions. But have many problems trying to install 4.4 (It does not work with virt-install hence you have to try another method). I Created a name, name-tmp, name-swap, name-root paritions. I did mke2fs and mkswap no problem everything is good. I went on further to mount the name-tmp and

This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back} mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs are performing I/O. Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request queue. This was granted to

This patch series introduces the tapback daemon, the user space daemon that acts as a device''s back-end, essentially most of blkback in user space. The daemon is responsible for coordinating the front-end and tapdisk. It creates tapdisk process as needed, instructs them to connect to/disconnect from the shared ring, and manages the state of the back-end. The shared ring between the
