Hi, I''d like to use the blktap utils from https://github.com/xen-org/blktap because of the mirror feature, as the blktap utils comming with xen does not support this. Could anybody explain why there are two different blktap utils (one in git and one comming with xen source) and how to compile the one from git so that it works with libxl ? Any pointers greatly appreciated ;-) Thanks

Hi,  I''m currently stuck with creating VM which cannot boot with disk using blktap2 driver. I''ve been searching nearly a whole week and I couldn''t get a answer. When creating vm with blktap2, it keep shows a error:   libxl: debug: libxl_device.c:200:disk_try_backend: Disk vdev=xvda, backend tap unsuitable because blktap not available.  VM configuration (XML):

At long last, I've got some beta CentOS 6 4.4.1 packages up on the CBS. Major updates include: * Update to Xen 4.4.1. Also includes all XSAs through 114 * Update to latest blktap 2.5 * Updated libvirt packages (1.2.10), which work well with libxl To use, add the following to a file in /etc/yum.repos.d: [virt-testing] name=CentOS-$releasever - virt-testing

Hi, everyone! We google a lot, but can''t find how to config the pvscsi on our ubuntu13.04 PV on HVM.There are some links http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Paravirtualized_SCSI http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Configuration_File_Options And we use the config option above Configure PVSCSI devices vscsi = [ ''/dev/sdc, 0:0:0:0'' ] I pass sdc to the hvm, but in our pvhvm (ubuntu13.04)

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

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

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.

All the resources allocated based on xen_blkif_reqs are global in blkback.

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

Dear all, I followed the steps described in the wiki in order to get an Arnadle board running Xen, but I''m having trouble in starting a domU. Let me describe you the steps I followed.
