"an error has occured. no valid devices were found on which to create a file system" this message is what I get installing a copy of fedroa6 on fedora6 using xen. now the instructions in fedora said either specify a file or partition. I made sure the file I created (called feddy6_xen) in my root/xenmachines directory had plenty of space..20gb left on that partition...so

During my initial download for my home directory backup, it took rsync over 6 hours to do the initial backup, but I can FTP the stuff in about 30 Mins. Is Rsync usualy this slow? I have compression turned on, and its across a 100 MB/S network, Anyone had this problem before? Steve Sills

Hey, I thought there was supposed to be an ability for domU''s to be put into a hibernated state (E.g. current running tasks and memory) when dom0 is shutdown or rebooted. When I look in my /etc/default/xendomains file, I have the variable''s "XENDOMAINS_SAVE=/var/lib/xen/save" and "XENDOMAINS_RESTORE=true". However, when I reboot, I always have to restart my

Hello all, I'm addressing the mailing list following the suggestion of gwd on #centos-virt @freenode IRC. The subject says most of it. Here are the details : - Was running 4.4.x and configured such that /etc/xen/auto domUs would be saved/restored on dom0 shutdown/bootup. - Installation was based on "centos-release-xen" such that "yum upgrade" brough Xen to 4.6.1. After

Hi, Ever since xl become the preferred toolstack, I have had problems using the xendomains startup/shutdown script. Having retested today, it seems that the issues are now reduced down to xendomains being unable to restart previously saved domains. Here is a typical session using xl running Xen 4.2.2 on Ubuntu 64 12.04 bit server, using stock Dom0 kernel (3.2.0-43-generic)

Hi, I''m having some issues with having my domUs shutdown gracefully when my dom0 reboots. Heres my config.sxp. --- snippet --- (actions_after_crash restart) (actions_after_shutdown preserve) (auto_power_on False) (actions_after_reboot restart) (on_crash restart) (on_poweroff destroy) (on_reboot restart) (on_xend_start start) (on_xend_stop shutdown) ___________ When I reboot my

I''m running xen 3.1.2 as bastardized by RedHat on a redhat clone operating system. I''m using the xendomains script as it came out of the box to start my domU''s at boot and stop them at shutdown. There are three problems right now: 1) left to its own devices, service xendomains stop attempts to do "xm save" on each of the domU''s. that takes quite a

Hi, we start to run out of diskspace soon as our users start to keep mails for longer time periods. That's fine, but space consuming. The maildirs are about 1 TB in total, and not long ago we enabled zlib which is very nice. Now I have some thoughts about the next steps: a) Migrating the whole system to a new server with more storage? b) Install a virtual server for the mailsystem and an

Good morning everybody I was migrating my ufs ? rootfilesystem to a zfs ? one, but was a little upset finding out that it became bigger (what was clear because of the swap and dump size). Now I am questioning myself if it is possible to set the swap and dump size by using the lucreate ? command (I wanna try it again but on less space). Unfortunately I did not find any advice in manpages.

I''ve migrated my Dom0 host to Xen 4.2.0 + xl toolstack. With ''xm'' toolstack, configs in /etc/xen/auto are autostarted, assuming xend/xendomains services are started. IIUC, when using xl toolstack, those services are not to be started; and, afaict, the installation process for 4.2 has them disabled by default. Now, the configs in /etc/xen/auto are simply ignored. I

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.4.1-9+deb8u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, After upgrading to Debian 8, auto-starting of domUs via /etc/xen/auto fails with errors like this Sep 09 09:29:21 host xendomains[948]: Starting Xen domain domU (from /etc/xen/auto/domU.cfg)...failed.

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.4.1-9+deb8u4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I have a server with a large number of domUs set to auto-start. For the first time I have booted it with all of them needing to start from cold, but the xendomains service only got part way through. syslog showed nothing notable about the domains starting?

Hey, group, I've got a system installed on a VMware VM. The SAN administrator allocated me more disk space from the (EMC) SAN and I need ultimately to create another partition to mount on the filesystem. Two (initial) questions about this: What steps do I need to take prior to creating a new partition with fdisk? (The SAN space, BTW, is connected through VMware.) The OS is already

Im installing CentOS5.1 on an Acer Aspire 5021 laptop with AMD Turion64 and ATI X700 128MB gfx card. I want to partition my 80MB ATA disk as LVM, so I: Choose custom partition. delete all existing partitions. add one LVM vg partition taking up entire disk. I do not change any default options. I then click the LVM button to add my logical volumes as follows: 5GB / 8GB /home 5GB /tmp 4GB /var

I am working on starting Virtural Servers at my office and have questions regarding disk partitioning recommendations. I am using SLES 10 SP2..... RAID 5.... 280G available... no external storage... 1 - Should the DOM be on primary partition and then place the VM''s in LVM? 2 - Should I create partitions in the LVM for each of my VM''s separately or can they all reside on the

I am using Xen 4.6.0-8.el7 on CentOS 7 with 3 Linux DomUs. I did have Xen 4.? on CentOS 6.5 on my previous system. I installed using yum install centos-release-xen. On shutting down the Hypervisor it used to wait for the DomUs to shut down gracefully (one can take a minute or more), then on starting up again it would restart the DomUs, all nice and controlled. For some reason the DomUs (CentOS

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 3.0.3-0-2 Severity: wishlist The "xendomains" init script will start domains according to the order of config files found in /etc/xen/auto/*. I use this so that, in the event of a hard reboot, the more important domains will start first. Some of these contain essential services like DNS resolvers, slapd and so on, and since starting xen domains

Hi, I'm wondering about the impact of using both dom0 and domU's on a server at the same time. I'm worried about the performance impact of running a Mysql server in a domU and now I'm thinking about moving the Mysql part of a LAMP setup into dom0 and running a few Apache guests as domUs. Since the Apaches will serve mostly from an NFS share they won't have much impact on

Hello all I''ve just installed xen 4.1.1 on my server and was tryoing to tweak xendomains script to work with new xl schema but I can´t get it to save domains. It does start them with some changes I made to it but when I issue service xendomains stop I just get [ OK ] but domains stay running. Has xendomains script been ported to work with 4.1.1 or is there another alternative to it.
