Hi Thomas, This may be old news at this point, but I had 100% identical behavior to yours when I tried virtx7-44-testing. After looking around a bit I tried "virtx7-44-candidate", in a sibling directory to virtx7-44-testing. It has a more recent date, so I tried with that and it works fine. It resolves the issues listed in your email from 7/7/2015. I am now looking for a

Updated Xen 4.4.3 packages have passed my local smoke tests, and are now available. Full C7 release is still waiting on suitable testing for the libvirt packages. If someone wants to step up to give the libvirt packages a decent smoke test, that will speed the C7 release process significantly. Otherwise it will have to wait until I get a chance to write some automated smoke tests. In the mean

I gave the virtx7-44-testing packages a spin on a fresh CentOS 7 install (legacy boot, no efi, as there is no xen.efi). However, I was not able to start any HVM or PVHVM guests. Upon

Hi I am attempting to setup Xen 4.10 with kernel 4.9.86-30 ( virt7-xen-410-testing, virt7-common-testing ) on CentOS7 After installing everything, the machine was unable to boot and hung in dracut stating it could not find its root device. The testsystem I use is a somewhat aged Dell M915 Blade (Quad opteron 61xx), using an MPT SAS controller for it's SAS boot drives. Stock CentOS 7

Hi So far, I did some preliminary testing using nested virt: host(L0): Fedora 25, kernel-4.9.11-200, kvm+qemu Guest(L1): CentOS 7 Xen-4.6.3-7, kernel-4.9.11-22 So far, at least the L1 setup had no issues. I'll need to pull L1 guest-storage from backup to test some L2 guests. Likewise, I try to allocate two blades at work for tests on real metal. Our standard-tests include starting

So first of all, if you've used the CBS before, please note the name change -- it's no longer virt6-testing, but virt6-xen-44-testing. Easiest way to install: rpm -ivh http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-xen-44-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-xen-7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm This will set up yum repositories for both the eventual release repositories (enabled by default), and the

OK, last but not least -- Xen 4.6-rc2 packages available for CentOS 7! The Xen continuous testing infrastructure has improved dramatically over the last few years, so rc2 should already be quite stable. Please test. In particular the most recent build moves packages over from using the chkconfig compat layer to using the properly integrated systemd scripts. As usual: rpm -ivh

There is a new xen kernel for centos-6 and centos-7 the needs testing in: http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-xen-common-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/ and http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt7-xen-common-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi all, i just stumbled over a strange performance issue with my Xen setup. I use centos-virt Xen since a long time on my workstation and usually never check performance. However, yesterday I booted into the 3.18.25-19 Dom0 kernel *without* Xen and found the system noticably more responsive. That triggered me into running a simple kernel compile benchmark and compare the results:

As mentioned yesterday, Xen 4.6 packages are now available for testing. These also include an update to libvirt 1.3.0, in line with what's available for CentOS 7. Please test, particularly the upgrade if you can, and report any problems here. To upgrade: yum update --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing To install from scratch: * Install centos-release-xen from centos-extras yum install

Hi folks, we (the company i am working for) are running several dozens of virtualisation servers using CentOS 6 + Xen4CentOS as the virtualisation infrastructure. With the latest versions of all packages installed [1], we see failures in live-migration of stock-CentOS6 HVM guests, leaving a "Domain-unnamed" on the source host, while the migrated guest runs fine on the target host.

Greeting, We are about to update the centos-release-xen package to point to Xen 4.8 rather than 4.6. I'll push the update next week. As a reminder, you can "pin" your installation to Xen 4.6 by installing centos-release-xen-46 and then removing centos-release-xen. And for the more adventurous, that update will come with a new package centos-release-xen-410 to install Xen 4.10.

Thanks to work from Johnny, linux 3.18.12 with all the x4c blktap goodness have been built and are now in the virt6-testing repo. I've also uploaded libvirt 1.2.15. As you may have seen earlier today, virt6-testing also includes an updated 4.4.2 package with the latest security update (XSA-133). The kernel has had some basic testing (by myself, Johnny, and another community member), but

Hi I gave the new Xen-4.6rc2 a spin on a CentOS 7 virtualisation guest (nested-xen). I haven't yet started testing guests, but rather looked at the install itself. One issue, I found, was with xenstored.service and the corresponding unit-file: [root at xencen7ws ~]# systemctl status xenstored xenstored.service - The Xen xenstore Loaded: loaded
