I have couple question about using Xen in the "real" world. My test box is a Dell Optiplex 745 with a Core 2 processor and 4 G of RAM. I am using 64 bit Centos 5 with Xen 3.03. Right now I have it set up so Dom0 is my working domain and I add other DomU for whatever tests i need to do. From what I''ve read here, this is not the best way to do things. So my first question is,

Hi! We're struggling to get device detaching to work reliably using Xen. We can reliably use the same code to manage devices using Libvirt+KVM without any problems. We've tested this on Xen with both CD-ROM and USB devices without success. See below for detailed descriptions. Thankful for any help! Regards, Daniel Espling --- For CD-ROM, we can mount them using attach-device but

I just got a Dell Dimension e521 (AMD 64 x2, nVidia MCP51 chipset) and so far it has been fine. Today I tried to burn some CD-R and DVD-R disks and have been able to do nothing but make coasters. The drive is a TSST TS-H653a (Samsung OEM) and does have the current firmware. Playing back data, audio, and video disks work just fine, but recording is a different matter. The drive shows up as

This patch series provides the facility to eject and insert a cdrom when the used device-model is qemu-xen. The only difference between both device-model is a call to a QMP command as `xl cd-insert ...` will still update xenstore, even if it''s not used by QEMU.

I''d like to be able to use a CD drive on the Dom0 to be accessible on the DomU systems. I do see some notes involving cdrom drives in the Xen 3.1 Enterprise notes, and in the VT notes, but not for systems without that on-board virtualization feature. And the syntax of the cdrom command options are documented nowhere in 3.0.3. I found completely useless notes at

Hi all, I'm using wine 9.57 in ubuntu gutsy, I'm trying to install BGII but the installshield, when reaches about 78%, asks me for the cd2: I give the directory path and immediately it asks for cd 3,4,5. Naturally i can't provide cd 5 because BGII is a 4cds game. I've tried to upgrade installshield with no result. I've also tried to eject (wine eject) the directory with cd1 but

The Sims 2 has four installation discs. I read this in the faq: > If program is on multiple CD-ROM disks you don't want to change into cd-rom's directory or you won't be able to remove disk without stoping the installer. First verify that CD-ROM is mapped to a disk drive in winecfg "Drives" tab (ex D: -> /media/cdrom). Then run installer this way: > > >

Hi everybody, I'd like to play Myst III - Exile with wine on Ubuntu 8.04 but the installation doesn't work. In fact I have the Trilogy DVD edition with Myst, Riven and Exile and I saw that Riven works well : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10719. But my problem is a bit weird : I can't find any exe file on the DVD to install Exile !!! Riven is easy to

All, I installed Vista on Xen yesterday, but it no longer shows up on my Admin console. Disk space still shows 30G used by it. Also, how do I eject CDROM while Xen is running :) Thanks, Andrey _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I was trying to install program on 2 CD's but when I got propmt about changing disks my OS (Kubuntu) doesn't let me do it. It says that disk is still in use and I can't eject it... Is there any way to avoid this problem other than multiple CD-rom devices?

Hi I did once a Flight Simulator 2004 install on OpenSuse but cannot do that again on my Ubuntu 10.04. I recall mount/umount each of the 4 cds but that's not ok anymore. Any help thanks

Over the weekend, I had to make a technical support call on one of my DVD burners, and at one point the recorded message mentioned I should have my serial number handy. I thought there was a way to read that from at least one piece of software on the system, but I couldn't remember one and man -k on a number of subjects was unrevealing. Can someone enlighten me (us)? Thanks. mhr

When I try to burn anything to cd, I get a message to insert a CD large enough for my file (normally an ISO image). Doesn't matter if the iso image is a 600Mb Centos ISO or a 48Mb DSL ISO. Same warning. My CD-Rs are Memorex 700MB/80min 52x disks that work just fine on XP systems. So what am I missing configuration-wise?

I''m using Xen 3.1.0 on Debian etch, kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-amd64. One of the guests runs Windows XP. I am trying to install an application (Autodesk Inventor) that spans two DVDs. The config file for the domain in question contains: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/volgrp0/halebopp,ioemu:hda,w'', '',hdc:cdrom,r'' ] I ran "xm block-list halebopp --long" and

Hey all, I'm trying to install CIV IV on Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit....), running wine 1.2.2 (which is part of the repositories). I put the first CD in, open it up and run setup.exe and everything seems to be fine. Then, when the program asks me to insert the second CD, I get a permissions error. Wine is looking for the CD at Code: Z:\media\CIV4DISC2 which exists when I try to browse for

I am thoughly confused with the various Xen 3.0.3 versions for Suse. Firt there is not for suse 10.1, so I gues I woulllt the source tarball and compile.
