similar to: external USB HDD exclusive for HVM domU?

Hi, I''m currently trying to use a Linovo R61 Thinkpad equipped w/ Core2 Duo for HVM Virtualization. BIOS shows CPU/Virtualization->enabled. Xen 3.2.0 shows (Xeo) VMX disabled by BIOS Does someone knows any problems with R61 Thinkpads? Thanks in advance. cheers, Stephan -- Stephan Seitz Senior System Administrator *netz-haut* e.K. multimediale kommunikation zweierweg 22 97074

Hi there, during peak load on some running domU, I noticed random iSCSI "Reported LUNs data has changed" which forced me to shutdown the respective domU, re-login the target and do a fsck before starting domU again. This occurred on a 16 core machine, having only about 14 domUs running. Spare memory has been occupied by dom0 (about 40G). Each domU has it''s own iSCSI target.

Hi, I''ve recently setup a few machines with 3.2 64bit without any unresolvable problem. These machines all run pv domU''s and a view "basic" hvm domUs. As I''ve got one machine left for internal use and testing, I would like to take a look at pciback with VT-d support (bios screen shows a VT-d [enable|disable]). My question is, do I need to add patches, or use

Hi listmembers, not a really urgent question, but i''m just curious about it: Is it advised to use an irqbalanced on dom0 when running domU''s pinned to particular cores? as an example, i''ve got a dual quadcore xen system running with domU pinned to cores 1-3 (CPU#0) domU pinned to cores 4-5 (CPU#1) domU pinned to cores 6-7 (CPU#1) so dom0 should have 100% time on

Hi, does somebody know, if there is any documentation available on how to set mac addresses on virtual bridges / virtual interfaces? Keeping track of every mac in the particular segments is really impractical.

Hi there, Due to http://lwn.net/Articles/347006/ or http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2009-August/070197.html virtually all x86 and x86_64 kernels are vulnerable. I patched and build a 2.6.29-xen-r4 kernel which has been posted on this list a few weeks ago. I''m using this kernel after a lot of testing productive. D/L here:

I''m running latest 3.1.4. I need access to qemu-img to convert some image files. However this binary is not compiled after doing make world and make install. I notice that the source code is present, but I cannot figure out how to make it compile and install along with qemu-dm? Am I missing something? -- Randy _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing

Hi all, I''m playing with Xen for the first time, and encounter problems when installing a client. We basically have limited space on the /var/ partition, and Xen seems to use this as temporary storage during installation. Is there anyway of configuring it to use some other location? Cheers, Dean. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

hi all i am trying to boot from rhel5.1 x86_64 image. with the following configuration kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder=''hvm'' memory = 3048 name = "rhel51" vcpus=1 cpus = "" vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ] disk = [ ''phy:/dev/cciss/c0d0p7,ioemu:hda,w'',

I know that there is a 3 network interface max for Xen 3.*. But is there a max number of network aliases? Since they are all on the same subnet then really it should just bridging the traffic. Correct? Does anyone have a PV DomU that has more than 3 IP addresses being used inside it? Thanks, Ryan _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hi, I am using xen 3.1.0 on opensuse 10.3, for more details see below. When I try to start the third domU, then this will not work, I get the error: Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data! When I shutdown an other one, I can successfully start the machine that failed, see my log below. The xen configuration files are all similar to this one: name="FTP"

I have a beefy machine (Intel dual-quad core, 16GB memory 2 x GigE) I have loaded RHEL5.1-xen on the hardware and have created two logical systems: 4 cpus, 7.5 GB memory 1 x Gige Following RHEL guidelines, I have it set up so that eth0->xenbr0 and eth1->xenbr1 Each of the two RHEL5.1 guests uses one of the interfaces and this is verified at the switch by seeing the unique MAC addresses.

Hi All, So I''ve got a DVB-S PCI Express card ($30 USD Twinhan AD-SE200 off eBay) that''s being passed via VT-d/pciback in Xen 3.2.1 under CentOS 5.2 to a Windows XP SP3 which works! ... except for one small issue... Motherboard is an Intel DQ35JO that much people has had success with and an Intel E8400 CPU. The issue is that when dealing with FTA MPEG-2 transport streams (DVB-S

Hey, everyone, I''m having some issues with a Xen DomU right related to performance. We have an application that cross-compiles a Linux distribution from scratch for embedded systems. We''re attempting to run this application inside a Xen DomU (paravirtualized, modified guest kernel), and the performance is really bad. The culprit seems to be high I/O wait times related to the

Hello all, please tell me, how can I be sure that my Xen installation is built with Intel VT-d support? Something like xm info | grep -i KEY-REGULAR-EXPRESSION xm dmesg | grep -i KEY-REGULAR-EXPRESSION What line I should look for? And if it''s really built with it, how can I be sure, that Xen has successfully initialized VT-d hardware? I have read [1] and the lists archives

Hi guys, i am running xen 3.1.0 from sources at my debian server. at the domU it seems there are no quota functionality: quotacheck -mav quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/hda1: No such file or directory quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option. cat /etc/fstab cat /etc/fstab # <file system> <mount point>

Hi... I have had a problem when I am going to detach one specific LVM partitions of Xen, so I have been trying xm destroy <domain>, lvchange -an <lvm_partition>, lvremove -f.... So I haven''t had sucess. I restarted the server with init 1 yet and nothing... I have seem two specific process started xenwatch and xenbus, but I am not sure if this processes have some action over

Hello, I created a CentOS 5.0 x86_64 guest under Debian Etch with Xen 3.0.3 and it boots fine except for one re-occuring problem - whenever it boots the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script gets renamed to .bak and doesn''t configure the ethernet device. Here is the content of this file: TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.0.247

Hi, As most of you probably already know, a local root exploit was released yesterday which affects kernels from 2.6.17 to 2.6.24.1. Is there an official patch for dom0 and domU kernels, or can the backport of the official kernel patch be used on these kernels?
