Greetings, I'm fiddling with Xen at home, the dom0 is a freshly installed Debian stable (current 6.0.6 squeeze) using LVM over RAID. I want to use two VGs, so the pointy-clicky won't really do since --lvm only takes one argument (i assume). That's no big deal, i can use LVM tools and even the partitions.d scripts xen-tools can use and provide a partition template through the

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice on the best way to setup the guest disks on a single-server XEN system running on a Centos 6.4 fresh minimal install as the dom0. I currently have a system running a traditional VHD disk image for each guest but I'm having disk I/O difficulties and I am looking to optimize it the best way I can. The host disks are two classic 500GB SATA-III

Hello everybody, I''m playing with Xen and trying to extend DomU disk space. My Configuration: Dom0: all Xen machine are HVM. They''re installed on LVM. I''ve one VG (XEN) on Dom0 and created a LV (here, xps.101.disk) per DomU. disk configuration in xen conf is as follow: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/XEN/xps.%d.disk,ioemu:hda,w'' % (vmid)

Hello, When I needed to build Xen guests under Debian I could follow more or less the instructions in http://preview.tinyurl.com/2oc48r and the advantage of this approach is that it allows me to setup the Xen guest directly on the LVM partition without making it consider the LVM partition as an entire disk with a partition table. The advantages of this approach are: 1. I can add more LVM's

Hi Folks, I search for a way to mount the .img files virt-install creates for Xen VMs. Using fdisk -lu I found it contains to 2 partitions: > # fdisk -lu /var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img > last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 81ed > Sie m?ssen angeben Zylinder. > Sie k?nnen dies im Zusatzfunktionsmen? tun. > > Platte /var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img:

I have a Xen LVM based VM with two partitions: /dev/VolGroup00/vm01p1 /dev/VolGroup00/vm01p2 p2 is about 50GB, I gave it's LVM an extra 30 or so using lvextend. How can I extend the partition to fill my free space and the filesystem? I don't mind offline, if I can get Xen to boot off an alternative media.

Hello All, We would appreciate your advice on the following issue. We have created a full virtualized Xen guest that its disk is an image file of 4GB. We want to use this image file as a template for creating Xen guests which their disk will be an LVM device. The disk image file is of type: file /var/lib/xen/images/rhel52.img /var/lib/xen/images/rhel52.img: x86 boot sector;

Hello list! My setup: Dom0: Debain 5.0.3 with xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 (2.6.26-2-xen-686) DomU: Ubuntu 8.04 2.6.26-2-xen-686 System is running on two hard drives mirrored with raid1 and organized by LVM. Dom0 and DomU are running on logical volumes. Partitions for DomUs are connected via ''phy:/dev/lvm/disk1,sda1,w'' for example. Here are some scenarios I testet, where you

I have a kernel BUG() most of the time when updating my LVM configuration. I created a bug report on kernel linux-2.6 package as it looked related to kernel; but searching through bug reports, it look like it's Xen related. - No similar bug report about LVM crash for non-xen user - Other Xen users have similar errors: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615048 "base: After

With the 1U Apple G5 server at a good reliability/storage/pricepoint level... got to thinking about compiling Asterisk on OS X.. at least for SIP phone call switching, voicemail, etc. Has anybody attempted this? Email me off list if this is too dev-heavy for the user list. Thanks, Ted W -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-request@lists.digium.com

Hi there Managed to get Xen up and running, also to get a 1394 controller to be hidden from dom0 to domU. I run an lvm in raid5 in domU as a fileserver. when I copy data to the raid, I get *hundreds* of these error messages: (XEN) APIC error on CPU0: 02(02) my system is: PC-Chips 848A with AMD Geode NX1750 2 G Ram Raid 1 with md0 that holds Dom0 Raid 1 with md1, that holds lvm for domUs All

Hello, I wonder if we can use RAID (hard) under LVM for Xen domU. What kind of RAID is recommanded ? I was thinking about the following configuration: - RAID 1 (two 70 GB disks) for the dom0 - RAID 5 (three 285 GB disks) for domU on LVM partitions Any idea ?

Hi, I have some xen domU on Centos 5.2 server. For some weeks i had a problem with "xen domU" performances. Indeed my xen domU spend a lot of time in cpu waiting. Reading some informations on the net it seems to come ith I/O heavy load. Using collectd in my domU to monitor the "traffic" on virtual disk and virtuel network i don't see heavy I/O rates.

Hi all, could somebody point me to what is considered a sound way to offer Xen guests on a two node DRBD cluster in combination with Pacemaker? I prefer block devices over images for the DomU''s. I understand that for live migration DRBD 8.3 is needed, but I''m not sure as to what kind of resource agents/technologies are advised (LVM,cLVM, ...) and what kind of DRBD config

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| | |
