similar to: New binary release of GPL PV drivers for Windows

I have a Win2K3 domU (and thankfully an image backup of the LVM volume that holds its system disk) I previously installed GPLPV v0.8.9 drivers, the domU boots OK with or without the /GPLPV switch in boot.ini, however with the /GPLPV switch it tries and fails to use the Xen network driver, and so the machine is network-less, so for the past few months I''ve left it using pure HVM

I''ve just put up the latest release of the GPLPV drivers for Windows. This release involved a fairly big rewrite of the stuff that talks to Windows as I changed from WDF to WDM. WDF is a newer framework from Microsoft which makes it easier to write drivers as a lot of the state management stuff is done for you. It also means shipping a great big dll around with the drivers (note the

Hi people... Here we use Xen 4 with Debian Lenny... We''re using kernel 2.6.31.13 pvops... As a storage system, we use AoE devices... So, we installed VM''s on AoE partition... The "NAS" server is a Intel based baremetal with SATA hard disc... However, sometime I feeling that VM''s is so slow... Also, all VM has GPLPV drivers installed... So, I am thing about

In the spirit of ''release early, release often'', here''s another binary release... http://www.meadowcourt.org/WindowsXenPV-0.8.8.zip The only thing that''s changed since 0.8.7 is that xennet should work under amd64 again.

I''ve just made my first ever attempt at an Nullsoft installer, so if you want to try it download "Xen PV Drivers 0.9.5.exe" from http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/ The installer should detect the version of windows you are running and install the drivers. At the moment you''ll need to install the shutdown monitor service manually, but you can do that from the start

Hello everybody, I tried to measure the performance of the available drivers for windows as a HVM guest. I used the gplpv drivers 0.9.11-pre17, the PV drivers from Novell, and the drivers from Citrix XenSource with the XenServer 5. The Novell and gplpv drivers were more or less at the same speed, for both, network and disk performance. The disk performance was about 10MB/s reading and

Hello James, I am doing quite rigorous torture tests with Xen and GPLPV. Let me first repeat the test setup: Use Xen 4.1.1 and kernel 2.6.32.36 (commit ae333e9). Configure 2 HVMs called VM1 and VM2 as follows (per HVM): 2 VCPUs, 2 virtual disks, 1024 MB RAM, viridian=1 Install Windows 2008 R2 SP1, do install everything twice - never clone. Install GPLPV, iometer 2006.07.27, prime95 26.6 x64,

I''ve just uploaded 0.9.11-pre12 of the GPL PV drivers for Windows. Since -pre10 (and -pre11) I''ve fixed a heap of crashes that were plaguing xennet under load, and also rewritten the interrupt/event distribution logic to improve performance. Under windows 2003 I can now get network speeds of 1-2Gbit/second TX and 600Gbit/second RX, which is considerably better than I was

I''m been busily converting the xenpci and xenvbd drivers from WDF to WDM to resolve a few issues including potential licensing problems with the Microsoft WDF and to (hopefully) allow them to function as boot drivers when doing install and system recovery. It was a fairly major rewrite of xenpci, and xenvbd, which are now working (booting and running without crashes so far). I

Hi, During the install of the univention.de-signed GPLPV drivers (gplpv_Vista2008x64_signed_0.11.0.308.msi) on my Windows 7 guest, I get a BSOD "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" in xenvbd.sys. Afterwards, Windows won''t start. I''m now trying to do a System Restore. I will try not installing the VBD driver afterwards and see if the others do work. Full BSOD:

Is there currently a way of preventing filesystem corruption if the following sequence of events occurs: 1. ''xm save domain domain.chk'' 2. ''xm create domain'' 3. ''xm shutdown domain'' 4. ''xm restore domain.chk'' ? If not, I''m thinking of trying to implement into the windows gplpv xenvbd driver something along the

Hello everyone, just wondered after I read about devices passed through in HVM if the following if still true: (for Xen3.2.1) - a Domain running in HVM cannot get forwarded any other device than a USB device. - the USB device forwarding is not too stable - PCI forwarding is not possible without processor support and Xen support. - The GPLPV tools won''t change anything with that.
