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

Hi, I want to perform pass through I/O from my domU. I guess I would need an additional network card for the same. Is there any preference on the second network card I should get or any one is fine? I have a x86_64 machine with Cent OS 4.4 running. Are there any additional considerations that I cannot see - Kindly let me know. Thanks, Asim _______________________________________________

I recently installed Fedora 7, Xen with Windows Vista in a VM using the Virtual Machine Manager tool. Everything has worked great but now I can not get the VM to start during Linux boot. I made sure xend and xendomain are started using chkconfig. Everything I have read talked about placing a .hvm file in the /etc/xen/auto directory. The Virtual Machine Manager tool did not create a .hvm file

Some question. Can I install Xen-3.2.1 with 2.6.18-xen kernel... to my Dom0 and without HVM, starting a debian(DomU) with kernel 2.6.25 from kernel src and compiled with all XEN port / features ? or i need to use the vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen to all my DomU ??

Hello Everyone. Well i want to write some information (not a complete backup) from my Virtual Machine to the tape drive, but the VM can''t read it. I guess i need to attach this device to the VM so it can read and write the tape driver but i don''t know how to do that, i found something similar but with a cd: # xm block-list <vm-id> –long # xm block-detach 1 5632 -f # xm

Hello All, I have been having a very difficult time getting any template to work on xen. Here is what I am running root@personal:/etc/xen-tools# xm info host : personal release : 2.6.22-14-xen version : #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 09:27:26 UTC 2008 machine : i686 nr_cpus : 2 nr_nodes : 1 sockets_per_node : 1

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.

Hello, i have just migrated machine to xen server where only 2 cpus are available. I have copied config from machine where domU was located before. That machine had 4 CPUS (QUADCORE), current machine has 2 CPUS (1 XEON 2cores). I have forgot to change vcpus from 4 to 2 in config, but .. what really surprised me ... machine started . How it is possible? It was really slow alltought and not

There are rumors that 2k8 will support Paravirtualization, but I have yet to see anything to confirm that and haven''t found it in my testing of 2k8. -Nick >>> On Fri, May 2, 2008 at 9:15 AM, Tomasz Chmielewski <mangoo@wpkg.org> wrote: Venefax schrieb: > Is there a "xenified" version of Windows 2008 Server?

Hi! Some bootloaders (eg. syslinux) have to ability to load multiple ramdisks, effectively concatenating them. This makes it very easy to augment ramdisks, like eg. customizing an installer. Can I do something similar with XEN? Separating the ramdisk cpio arhives with commas in the config file didn''t work... -- Thanks, Feri. _______________________________________________ Xen-users

I am running debian lenny, with the standard Xen 3.2 packages, with the 2.6.18-6-xen-686 kernel as dom0, and 2.6.24-1-xen-686 as domU. Everything is working fine apart from the console and the PCI passthrough. I am getting these errors in the domU on startup: XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/pci/0 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/console/0 Does this mean the modules are missing?

Hi, I''m trying to get copy/paste/cut working between my Xen host (FC8 64) and guest OSs (Centos 5.1, Windows 2000). I''ve tried the viewer in virt-manager, virt-viewer, and vncviewer. None of them seem to transfer clipboard contents between host and guest, even with both clipboard checkboxes selected in vncviewer options. Does anyone know how to get this working? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of setting up a firewall/access point DomU and I would like to know if there is any way to run a linux kernel 2.4(.34) based system as a DomU. The primary reason for this is that I want to run IPCop on such a kernel, but also that I consider kernel 2.4 based systems to be more suitable for some applications, especially for use as a firewall.

Hi all, xend communicates with xenstored using unix domain sockets right? So, would it be possible to convert the unix domain sockets to tcp/ip sockets and let xenstored run on a different machine?

I am working on a security tool that monitors various components (IDT, SSDT, etc) of a domU using VM introspection. Currently, we''re using a polling method to monitor these in-core structions. We would like to be able to use a blocking method instead. I.e. specify "interesting" memory ranges and then wait until they are modified. How can I get the hypervisor to alert a

Hi Do you know some library that have a function for set resources, like memory and cap of processor, without the "xm" and "libvirt". For example: The library libxenstat just take informations about the VMs... Do you know something for set resource with xend or xenstat? thank''s Leandro _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list
