Hello, We are trying to deploy our new ldap servers infrastructure with virtual servers running with xen. So we have installed two debian (etch) virtual machines under different domU''s (domUs are debian etch two). We are using bridge networking in xen, with default init scripts. In our test environment, these servers are working fine. But we are having problems with these new servers

Hi, I want to use xen in a cluster, I have qlogic FC cards in the server, and want to use pci passthrough to make it available to the domU nodes. In case of a failover, two or more virtual nodes will run on the same dom0. Will it work to share a physical device on more than one domU node, or will the first one have an exclusive lock on it? kind regards Sebastian

Hi there, i have trouble with Win NT 4 and WIN98 in XEN DomU when i will install. WinNT says on Hardware detect: # i can find graficadapter, install fails, please reboot ...

NTFS partition was setup with 220G. but only about 18G was being used, so i shrank NTFS down to 50G. now i want to make a drive image to create a HVM domain. how can

Hi, I''m trying to get a WinXP guest to appear full screen on my RHEL5 system. I do the following: [root@mybox ~]# /usr/sbin/xm create /etc/xen/winxp.hvm Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp.hvm". Error: Errors were found at line 190 while processing /etc/xen/winxp.hvm: full-screen=1 winxp.hvm will "work" just fine if I comment out the full-screen line,

Hi all Is there any way to limit the network i/o capacity of virtual machine somehow? Say, I want a domU with id 1 to consume at much 0.5 MB/s of host''s bandwidth. Is it possible?

I am trying to get a USB printer to work in a Linux domU. I am using Xen 3.0.3 and the Xen Linux kernel 2.6.16.40. I have hidden the USB controller''s PCI devices from dom0 and exported them to domU, and build the domU kernel with the necessary device support. When I boot the xenU kernel, it lists an error from the USB printer class code that allocating a write buffer failed. This is an 8k

Hi list, I''m using Dom0 gentoo with xen 3.0.4 and xenman. I have several DomU working and it is really nice :) so all my DomUs are installed with disk images. Now i want to use an ISO to boot and install a linux system (or win). When i try to boot the DomU i dont have nothing, nothing relevant (for me) in logs and i can connect to the console. The state of the DomU is unknow. Any help

Hi, I have already set up a VM that can access the network using the NAT mode. The problem I have is that I''d like to create another VM that also has access to the network. The problem I get is that when a VM is started, the other one will refuse to start. Actually it starts, but when I want to "xm console" into it I get the following error message: "xenconsole: Could not

Supermicro X7DWN+, XEON 5410, Centos 5.2, Xen 3.2.1 At what looks like random times network traffic over xen bridge stops working, the only way I found to fix it is a reboot. This sometimes takes 10 min, other times it may be up for 10 days. This happened with default xen that comes with RedHat EL 5.2 as well as a default install of Fedora 8. Any ideas? ><> Nathan Stratton

Hello, I''m running XEN 3.0.3 on RHEL5 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen. I used to start the vm with "xm create myvm -c". I see the boot during a couple of second, then, it freeze. The console is freezed, not the vm, a couple of second later, I can ssh the vm without any problem. "xm console myvm" also display a freezed state. This is an extrat of the console : # xm

Hi, I''m running Xen 4 on Slack64. I haven''t console login prompt to domU until I changed xvc0 to hvc0 on /etc/inittab file.

Hi list, I am running a virtualized server. Dom0 uses Xen 3.2.1 with Debian Etch and a custom kernel 2.6.21 created by my webhosting company. I install my domU using debootstrap for a Debian Etch with 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 kernel. Everything works well except the fact that once the VM is started I cannot "xm console" into it. It only works while it is booting and while it is shutting

Hi, I''ve been trying to boot from a RHEL4 install iso without much luck (the xen way). The Host is: RHEL 5.1 xen-3.0.3-41.el5 Here is my guest config: # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ # Python configuration setup for ''xm create''. # This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using

Hello, I''m enjoying my Xen quest very much thus far. Q: How does one handle the situation of multiple root users on dom0 trying to `xm console'' to the same guest? I was unable to use the virtual console at all until I added a line to inittab for agetty to spawn on xvc0. Now I''m not sure of an elegant solution for supporting multiple consoles (possible?), or even

Hi, I''m trying to figure out how XEN decides which VNC port a particular VM will associate with. From what little there is in the documentation, it indicates that XEN will choose 5900+DomainID. From experience, this doesn''e seem to happen. When I start a guest domain, and do "xm list" its domainID shows as "22", however, when I netstat -a , it shows listening

This is the patch from Amos Waterland for the xenconsole to use /dev/xvc0 instead of taking over ttys. I''ve fixed a few places which needed to check for XVC mode in addition to serial mode. Also, until LANANA responds with an official minor, I''ve adjusted it to use char 250/187 (in the experimental range) as opposed to 204/187 Signed-off-by: Jeremy Katz

Hello, I''m using Red Hat AS 5 with Xen 3.0, and sometimes ''xm console'' does not work, the most of times when I''m trying to connect one full-virt machine with different arch from server, for example: [root@xen-5 ~]# xm list Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 1933 8
