Hi, I have a working PXE environment that chainloads gPXE and loads pxelinux.0 afterwards. As I'm also interested in doing san boot (in my case aoe) I tried loading the new gpxelinux.0 file instead of my gPXE --> pxelinux.0 setup (works) and booting from my aoe target by adding this to the default config file: LABEL doaoe MENU LABEL Continue AoE kernel sanboot.c32 append

I understand that all work is going into xen3, but I had wanted to note that aoe (drivers/block/aoe) is giving me trouble on xen 2.0.6 (so we can keep and eye on xen3). Specifically I can''t see nor export AOE devices. As a quick background on AOE, it is not IP (not routable, etc), but works with broadcasts and packets to MAC addresses (see http://www.coraid.com). (for anyone who

Guys, I have setup my hard disc with 3 partitions: 1- 256MB on /boot; 2- 2GB on / for my dom0 (Debian 5.0) (eth0 default bridge for guests LAN); 3- 498GB exported with vblade-persist to my network (eth1 for the AoE protocol). On dom0 hypervisor01: vblade-persist setup 0 0 eth1 /dev/sda3 vblade-persist start all How to create a CVLM VG with /dev/etherd/e0.0 on each of my dom0s? Including the

Hello, I have encountered a crash in dom0 kernel while booting a domU from an AOE device. I haven''t seen such crashes when booting from local partitions/ LVM volumes/ loopback file systems. Also I haven''t seen such crash when I did repetitive I/O to these AOE devices. As the call trace of crash indicates the crash is in xenolinux kernel. Also this crash is predictably

Hi We use AoE disks for some of our systems. Currently, a 15.65Tb filesystem we have is full, I then extended the LVM by a further 4Tb but resize4fs could not handle a filesystem over 16Tb (CentOS 5.5). I then reduced the lvm by the same amount, and attempted to create a new LV, but get this error message in the process lvcreate -v -ndata2 -L2T -t aoe Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated.

Hi, I'm pretty new to ocfs2 and a bit stuck. I have two Debian/Squeeze (testing) machines accessing an ocfs2 filesystem over aoe. The filesystem sits on an lvm2 volume, but I guess that is irrelevant. Even when mostly idle, everything accessing the cluster sometimes hangs for about 20 seconds. This happens rather frequently, say every 5 minutes, but the interval seems irregular while the

Dear all: I''m sorry I crossmail. I try setup aoe-vblade server on netbsd 5.0.2(domU) and I try to do some stress test with for i in {65536}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/etherd/e?.? bs=4K;done on a Linux box Two Xen dom0 configurations I use: 1. 32bits SuSE Enterprise Linux 11sp1 2.6.32.12-0.7-xen with 32bits Xen 4.0.0_21091_04-0.2.6 2. 64bits Gentoo 2.6.32-xen-r1 with 64bits Xen 4.0.0

Greetings, Xen developers! I have been using AoE with Xen to great effect and I am very pleased with how the whole system has worked out. The two technologies really complement each other. I consider it the ultimate setup. Aside from the network switch (eventually to be remedied) my serving infrastructure has zero single points of failure. However, this virtualization paradise has a flaw:

hello ! i try to use a network technology on one single host, which wasn`t designed for that. to give a short overview of what i`m talking about: AoE is just like a "networked blockdevice" (just like nbd/enbd) - but without tcp/ip. AoE kernel driver is the "client end" (see this like an iSCSI initiator) - and an etherblade storage appliance is the "server end"

I have an OCFS2 filesystem on a coraid AOE device. It mounts fine, but with heavy I/O the server self fences claiming a write timeout: (16,2):o2hb_write_timeout:164 ERROR: Heartbeat write timeout to device etherd/e0.1p1 after 12000 milliseconds (16,2):o2hb_stop_all_regions:1789 ERROR: stopping heartbeat on all active regions. Kernel panic - not syncing: ocfs2 is very sorry to be fencing this

Dear developer, I am working on a project for my graduate work (diploma), which includes iSCSI and AOE booting. I made some menus using pxelinux and things are working fine with linux, but I have a small problem with windows system which require direct iscsi or aoe access. I have dhcpd.conf setup that it to each first dhcp request handles out pxelinux.0, then I can chooose from that menu which OS

Hai,   I was just reading : https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ata-over-ethernet-aoe-on-debian-8-jessie/   I was wondering, anyone tried AoE for sysvol, so i dont needs replication anymore. Anyone Pro’s and Con’s ?    Or can anyone tell of sysvol is going to be replicated by samba so we dont need scripts anymore.     Greetz,   Louis

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | |

I''ve been brainstorming... I want to create a 2-node HA active/active cluster (In other words I want to run a handful of DomUs on one node and a handful on another). In the event of a failure I want all DomUs to fail over to the other node and start working immediately. I want absolutely no single-points-of-failure. I want to do it with free software and no special hardware. I want

I am trying to get a proof-of-concept type setup going...I have a storage box and 2 xen servers...I am using file based disk that live on the aoe device...i can run the vm from either host without issue...when I run the live migration, the domain leaves the xm list on host 1 and shows up on host 2 (however there is a pause for pings of about 2 minutes?)...after it is on host 2, I can xm console

If you''re talking about domU, then it''s normal. Whatever the block device is on dom0 (/dev/etherd/*, /dev/mapper/*, etc.) domU sees only /dev/xvda (or whatever you tell it to be).

I ran into an interesting/strange issue today. I still don''t understand what happened, but in know what fixed it. I had a situation where I could only see vblade exported devices from OFF the physical machine. It seemed that if the packets went through two ports of the bridge (instead of one port and the real interface) they got "lost". I sniffed around and failed to

I am trying to mount the same partition from a KVM ubuntu 8.04.1 virtual machine and on an ubuntu 8.04.1 host server. I am able to mount the partition just on fine on two ubuntu host servers, they both talk to each other. The logs on both servers show the other machine mounting and unmounting the drive. However, when I mount the drive in the KVM VM I get no communication to the host

Hi All, I've been enjoying playing with gpxe and gpxelinux, however I have a few questions that I'd love to get some answers for... 1) Will gpxelinux support chain loading of other NBPs without hanging or is this already resolved ? 2) Why does gpxelinux take much longer than pxelinux to enumerate the UUID, MAC address, then hex IP address chop ? 3) Can gpxelinux load gpxe scripts at all

Hi all! First my system info: Wine version: 1.3.28 OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Graphics: Mobile Intel GMA X3100 The problem basically is that I am getting no sound when I play AoE II: AoK. The game starts and works otherwise fine, except for the sound bit. When I look in the game's Options menu, both Sound Volume and Music Volume sliders are down and it shows Off. I can move the sliders up, but it
