similar to: XenStore as a data transfer path?

I am new to Xen and want to provide simple communication between my DomU and Dom0 environments. I just need to be able to pass a few bytes of information back and forth between DomU and Dom0 while using some form of event management to know when an update occurs so I can act on it. At first, it appeared that using XenBus and XenStore might be the right solution for this. However, after looking

Hi, I am trying to run libvchan on ARM Fast Model for VExpress platform for using inter domain communication. But there are some errors. I am attaching the strace outputs for vchan-node1 run in dom0 and domU. Has anybody faced these issues before. Xl console 1The command is Usage: vchan-node1 [client|server] [write|read] domid nodepath my nodepath is - /local/domain/1/data/vchan-2-1 Regards

Hi, I want to know how everything communicates with XenStore. Do domUs use the front-end/back-end driver to dom0 and then the back-end driver contacts xenstored? In particular, how do the xenstore-* commands work on a dom0 and domU? And when should unix-domain sockets be used to communicate with xenstored?

I''ve seen some people asking why exposing xenstore attributes via sysfs could be useful. Here''s why I would really like to see such a patch make it into Xen: I''ve been working on getting domU''s to know enough about themselves to be manageable. I require a 128-bit UUID for each domU, and I require that each domU be able to determine its own UUID in userspace.

I just downloaded Xen-4.1.1 from xen.org, compiled it, and installed it. I then compiled kernel 3.0.0 and added the hypervisor and dom0 kernel in a grub 2 entry. After booting, I executed "xl list," to confirm the hypervisor was running. I was greeted with this message: libxl: error: libxl.c:56:libxl_ctx_init Is xenstore daemon running? failed to stat /var/run/xenstored.pid: No such

Hello, This patch allows userspace tools on a domU to setup a watch on the xenstore. It does this by intercepting XS_WATCH requests written to /proc/xen/xenbus and then re-submitting the request to the in-kernel xenstore interface, in linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_xs.c. When a callback occurs, an in-kernel function is invoked, which then reconstructs a response in the format

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 looking at building a xenstore-based watchdog, as described at http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-07/msg00597.html However, being somewhat new to xenstore, I''d appreciate some pointers. - What portions of the xenstore namespace should I use? I''m looking for at least two settings writable by the DomUs: A flag to enable/disable the watchdog

hi, it would be extremely useful for me if someone with knowledge of how the current tools and drivers use Xenstore would be kind enough to update the Wiki with current information. I have been spending quite a lot of time trying to get my domU connected to a block device in dom0 using a home-brewed domain creation tool, and I am still at the ''Timeout connecting to device!''

Hi, Can anyone please tell me how to get ".probe" function in "struct xenbus_driver" called? I want to do one simple test of event channel communication between peer modules of domU and dom0. I wrote one backend and one frontend driver (I tried registered as misc/blk/input device) where I put in all my xenbus routines, but cannot get .probe called after insmod my module, I

Hi, In domU, we can''t use xenbus to access anything outside of the domain''s home. That means we are being restricted from reading/writing to other domain''s xenstore. That is perfectly fine, and nobody complains here. But in dom0, do we have the exception? Since dom0 is trusted, I think we can be allowed to access to all other domU''s xenstore. Is that

Hi All, I am working on creating storage driver domain with xen-4.3.0 .

Changes from v3: - mini-os configuration files moved into stubdom/ - mini-os extra console support now a config option - Fewer #ifdefs - grant table setup uses hypercall bounce - Xenstore stub domain syslog support re-enabled Changes from v2: - configuration support added to mini-os build system - add mini-os support for conditionally compiling frontends, xenbus -

It seems that xenstore watches do not work from domU userspace (they obviously do for drivers). In some preliminary debugging of this, there are two aspects of the failure: not sending the watch to xenstore and not handling watch events for userspace watches. The former can be easily fixed by adding the missing ''case XS_WATCH:'' to xenbus_dev_write() in xenbus_dev.c. The

Hi, Anybody (Christian?) could please tell me if we can get the support for registering watch with /proc/xen/xenbus? (..OK, I know that we will change it this /proc stuff to a device soon) So far we can only do read/write/rm. I really miss the xen watch feature.

Which is the Kernel API (Xenbus API) that is available to do a similar action as "xenstore-chmod"?? Thx, Venkat _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hello, I build and installed Xen (4.1.3) from source, and I think I have got it working. Well, almost. I am using unmodified kernel of Fedora16 as my dom0 kernel. So this is what happened. I am able to boot into Xen, but the "xl info" failed with the standard error message mentioned in the tutorial. "libxl: error: libxl.c:56:libxl_ctx_init Is xenstore daemon running? failed to
