similar to: what''s correct way of shrinking LVM based domU?

Hi all, One of our Dell servers has failed badly, and one of the domU's has been corrupted in the process. It boots up to a point and then gives me a kernel panic: Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Activating

Hi all I''d like to know if it''s possible to clone a running domU. I need to make an exact copy of an existing CentOS xen domU, but without taking it offline. I''m using LVM, so I don''t know if it will help. I have tried doing it with dd, after shutting down the domU, but it takes ages. The LVM image is 30GB. I can''t really afford to have the

I see this has now been released :) What is the best way to upgrade both the Dom-0 and Dom-U to Xen 3.2 within CentOS 5.2 ?

Hi, What is the preferred OS to use with XEN, as the dom0 host? We primarely us CentOS (currently 5.6) but it seems that the native XEN that comes with CentOS is a bit behind.

HVM = fully virtualized. The question is, why are you using fully virtualized domUs? Why not paravirtualized (PV)? >>> On 2008/06/16 at 16:07, Rudi Ahlers <Rudi@SoftDux.com> wrote: Itamar - IspBrasil wrote: > why you''re using hvm ? its slow > > > > Rudi Ahlers wrote: >> Hi all >> >> I''m running CentOS 5.1 x64 + Xen 3.0 & I

Hi all, Has anyone seen something like this before: I want to use a laptop as a KVM console. Basically when a technician goes to one of our datacentres, or clients he has to look for a free LCD, keyboard & mouse to connect to a server (no network access, reinstall, troubleshoot failed kernel / HDD, etc). And then hopefully there's an open power socker in that cabinet. So I'm

Hi all, Does anyone know what the correct steps are to add a XEN bridge, let''s say xenbr0 to Debian Squeeze? I have added the following to /etc/network/interfaces # XEN Bridge auto xenbr0 iface xenbr0 inet manual bridge ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 And then rebooted the server but brctl show still shows eth0 as bridge: newusaxen:~# brctl

Hi all If I do a "dig mydomain.co.za" from a Linux server, how do I know which DNS nameserver returns the queries? I seem to have a faulty DNS server, but can't see which one, so I want to find out which nameserver (if there's 4 - ns1.myserver, ns2.myserver, ns3.myserver & ns4.myserver) returns the queries? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web:

Hi all, Has anyone managed to get CentOS 6 domU (i.e. guest) working on a Debian 6 do0? Both OS''s are 32bit and I''m running XEN 4.0.1 with HVM support. A CentOS 5.6 domU works fine on this very same server though. When I start CentOS 6, I get the following error: newusaxen:~# xm create -c /xen/genocide.cfg Using config file "/xen/genocide.cfg". xenconsole: Could

If you use any NAS (or a SAN) devices, what do you use? And I''m referring more to larger scale network storage than your home PC or home theater system. We''ve had very good experiences with our NetGear ReadyNAS devices but I''m in the market for something new. The NetGear''s aren''t the cheapest ones around but they do what it says on the box.

Hi all I've been thinking about using CentOS on a Dell R200 server and turn it into a firewall / network monitor / traffic shaper in our datacentre, instead of using a dedicated firewall device. One of the devices that I have been looking at, with my limited budget, is the D-Link DFL 860 - http://www.netdefend.eu/Product.aspx?m=15&ref=DFL-860 It provides AV, SPI, VPN, DOS, P2P, etc

Hi all I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw.

Hi, Does anyone know of a stable / working "2way authentication" system for SSH, and even web authentication services? Most of the banks in South Africa have a system that, when you want to make a payment, they send you an SMS and you need to verify the action with a secret code which was SMS'd to you. gmail also has this. Does anyone know of a "universal" plugin /
