I''m getting this message (subject line) in daemon.log every time I start or restart xend. I''m not sure if this is related to the fact that I cannot boot up my Windows domU from a VHD file. The Windows domU was working fine with Xen 4.0.0 (with 2.6.32.14 dom0 kernel). When I upgraded to Xen 4.0.1-rc4 (with 2.6.32.16 dom0 kernel), I can no long boot the Windows domU from VHD. The

I''m newbie Xen-4.1.1 I''m trying to boot DomU with the following configuration. Sometime DomU boot, but sometime boot failed I''m not sure what is the problem. I can attach that image with tap-ctl on Dom0. Does anybody advice me about this problem?? Sincerely * Environment OS : Scientific Linux 6.1 x86_64 Kernel : 2.6.32.43

I''m using the CentOS 6 bundle of xen from http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6/ and ran into an issue when creating domains with multiple VHD tap disks. Comparing unstable to the 4.2.1 code I''m using, it seems this issue still applies. I''m using a configuration line that looks something like disk = [

Hi, I''m currently trying xen 4.1.1 with the 3.0.0-rc5 (heard that it now contains the xen code to run as front or back xen domain). Everything seems to run fine, except that I am trying since a few hours to mount a .vhd file in the dom0. What I tried so far: to create a blank vhd file (this is working): host# vhd-util create -n /storage/test.vhd -s 20G Then i try to mount the file

Hi, Ive just tried Xen 4.0 on Gentoo with 2.6.32 (also tried 2.6.31) forward ported dom0 kernel, Xen itself seems to boot up successfully and everything else on the system is working normally, but when I try to start a domain xm create appears to hang and eventually I get a hotplug scripts error: Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. /etc/xen/scripts/block failed; error detected.

Hello List, Merry Christmas to all !! Basically I''m trying to boot a Windows 2008R2 DC HVM with 90GB static max memory and 32GB static min. The node config is Dell M610 with X5660 and 96GB RAM and its running XCP 1.1 Many times the node crashes while booting HVM. Sometimes I get success. I have attached the HVM boot log of successful start. Many times the node hangs as soon as the

Hello List, I''m using blktap on XCP 1.1 and developing a difference copy program for easy backup and remote archival. The idea is to read the BAT of VHD1 and sync it to BAT of VHD2 with BITMAP and the data blocks. Other way would be by adding a sha1 signature in each data block and comparing it with remote VHD. I tried to get some info from below programs but could not get required

Hello , everyone I am a newcomer to xen , which i study in recent months . I have deploy the xen-4.1.2 on dell server , centos as dom0 , now , i use the vhd format to be the virtual hard disk , after i execute " xm new ***.cfg" , this vm generate the vm in "xm list" , but when i execute " xm start *** ", "Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data

Hi, In most cases we use image files as virtual disks under the full-virtualization situation.On the version 4.1.2 of xen,I do the following command: ############################################################ dd if=/dev/zero of=myraw.img bs=1M seek=8K count=1 #Before the command below I install the operating system in myraw.img qemu-img-xen create -b myraw.img -f qcow2 myqcow1.img 20000M

Distro: debian unstable Xen version: 4.0.0-2 This is the config: #HVM #still no qemu-dm in debian #kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader" #builder = ''hvm'' #memory = 2048 #name = "webserver" #vif = [''bridge=eth0''] #disk = [''tap:tapdisk:aio:/srv/xen/webserver.img,xvda,w'',''phy:/dev/cdrom,xvdb:cdrom,r'']

For those wanting to know how to mount filesystems through blktap2 here is how you do it, as I couldn''t find it fully documented. The instructions on the blktap2 readme file are rather out of date. You can mount them under Dom0 like so. e.g. to mount a vhd file, sudo xm block-attach 0 tap2:vhd:/home/xen/xenwin7-persist.vhd xvdb w 0 Now the device should appear under /dev ls

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10.
