Hi, I have found the cpu time partitioning based on cpu shares weights not very intuitive. On RHEL64, I deployed two qemu/kvm VMs VM1 with 1 vcpu and 512 cpu shares VM2 with 2 vcpus and 1024 cpu shares I pinned their vcpus to specific host pcpus: VM1 vcpu 0 to host pcpu1 VM2 vcpu 0 to host pcpu1, VM2 vcpu 1 to host pcpu2 I executed inside the VMs a simple process that consume all

Hi I'd want to pin the vcpu of a guest to a pcpu. the docs clearly say https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/ch09s04.html "Locking a guest to a particular NUMA node offers no benefit if that node does not have sufficient free memory for that guest. libvirt stores information on the free memory available on

Is it possible to use virsh to set the cpuset attribute of the CPU Allocation element in a domain ? <domain> ... <vcpu placement='static' cpuset="1-4,^3,6" current="1">2</vcpu> ... </domain> I have seen that virsh vcpupin and virsh emulatorpin can be used to query and set the cpusets of the <vcpupin> and <emulatorpin>

Hi I have defined a logical pool and a volume within it # virsh vol-create-as images_lvm myvol 2G Vol myvol created # virsh vol-list images_lvm Name Path ----------------------------------------- myvol /dev/libvirt_images_vg/myvol if I try to create another volume using the previous one as backing-vol, the creation fails with what looks like an incorrect

Hi I have a test environment where a single LVM volume group is used both as a storage pool for virtual machines' disks AND for the LVs used for the HOST system filesystem. I never use libvirt commands to start/stop/activate the pool. Only to create/delete volumes. The test environment works fine. How suitable would be a shared VG for a production environment ? thanks, Edoardo Comar

Hi (apologies for the previous post in html - was scrubbed in the list digest) I've dug various posts and articles on host-guest time synchronization. I could not conclude why it might be better to use ntpd in a guest rather than a daemon that reads from kvmclock and having NTP running on the host only (assuming the guest OS is a recent linux and so the clock source is set to the

hallo i'm running mepis (debian unstable) and if i install wine from the regular (non-wine specific) deb repositories, I get wine 20041019. if I install from wine.sourceforge, I get 200501011. with the former, the application seems to lock up much more often. with the latter, the ability to play the movie (e.g. to see which audio stream to include) is disabled. i see from this screenshot

I added the winehq debian repository to apt-get | synaptic (I am running mepis 3.3) and would like to install those rather than the debian official unstable builds but since the winehq repository is also marked as part of 'unstable' distro I can't find a way to distinguish the wine / winelib provided by winehq from the official ones (which would need the many winelib-* packages)

Dear R users, I would need some help in building R using minGW in windows 8.1.

Hi all, I have a strange situation on a Asterisk 1.2.17 with FreePBX 2.2.1 Doing a select in the CDR table I noticed there are some calls with billsec greater than duration, duration is always 0 in those calls. How can this happens ? Am I missing something ? Tnx in advance Regards Edoardo Serra WeBRainstorm S.r.l.

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of running an Icecast server and I would like to know some best pratices. 1. Should I place Icecast on port 8000 or should I change that to one more common (80, 443...)? 2. Should I place the server behind a webserver like ngingx or apache? 3.Can I disable the login interface? what can be disabled? My best guess is to run icecast behind a webserver,

Hi Guys, we're needing a special implementation on Asterisk Our intention is to contribute the development and share back the code to Asterisk community Here is what we need: - An option to Asterisk Dial command which, if used, when calls is answered gives monodirectional audio (Caller should hear the called party but not vice-versa) - A DTMF sequence (maybe handled in features.conf) for

The same client was used for syslinux.efi (both success on same subnet and failure on different subnet) and grub.efi. The DHCP host block is setup like: host testing { hardware ethernet {mac} ; next-server 10.16.195.178 ; filename "rhel64/syslinux.efi" ; } I'll pull a tcpdump filtering by the IP tomorrow when I get back to the systems.

Hi all, I'm having a problem with some Asterisk servers interconnected with each other using IAX (I also tried with SIP without solving the problem) Sometimes, with apparently no reason, some peers become UNREACHABLE (I have qualify=yes in iax.conf) and REACHABLE again as soon as another qualify test is made. Our users are also complaining about audio loss during their calls, apparently
