I''ve followed the howto at virtuatopia.com<http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Building_a_Xen_Virtual_Guest_Filesystem_on_a_Disk_Image_%28Cloning_Host_System%29>to clone existing machines, then create them as PV guests. It has worked a couple of times for me, but I''ve run into a problem I don''t understand. When I run "xm create name", I get an error that

The VMID field is 8 bits. Rather than allowing only up to 256 VMs per host reboot before things start "acting strange" instead maintain a simple bitmap of used VMIDs and allocate them statically to guests upon creation. This limits us to 256 concurrent VMs which is a reasonable improvement. Eventually we will want a proper scheme to allocate VMIDs on context switch. The existing code

Using the 2.0.6 demo cd image, I booted the supplied freebsd image and rsync''d the file system to an NFS server.

Newbie Question: We are using RHEL 5.2 with the 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen kernel.

Hi, I tried to issue: xm save VMID FILE, and got the following error: Error: Error: [Failure instance: Traceback: twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError, Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused. xm create works fine, xend is running on domain 0, I can log in the VM through xm console VMID and ssh without problems. I can also stop and restart the domain.

Greetings to All. A little background about what I am trying to do, and please excuse the length of this post. I am setting up a voicemail (VM) system based on Asterisk. From what I've heard Vonage uses Asterisk as their VM platform as well. I am running 1.2beta with a MYSQL backend for extensions and VM user info. All the sound files and vm messages are being stored through an NFS

I''m looking at building a xenstore-based watchdog, as described at http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-07/msg00597.html However, being somewhat new to xenstore, I''d appreciate some pointers. - What portions of the xenstore namespace should I use? I''m looking for at least two settings writable by the DomUs: A flag to enable/disable the watchdog

Hi   Below is what i get while creating a guest domain, please someone help me.   [root@xenserver xen]# uname -a Linux xenserver 2.6.21-2950.fc8xen #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 12:24:34 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@xenserver xen]# [root@xenserver xen]# xm list Name                                      ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s) Domain-0                                   0   930     2    

Maybe this question is a little stupid, but please help me. I am a newbie to Xen. When I tried to create a new domain "domain 1", I followed the Yan-Ching CHU''s guide on :installing quick file systems for new domains in Xen 1.2". But when I do "xc_dom_create.py -Dvmid=1", Xen seems to start to boot with some normal bootup information, but right after several

I realize this might be one of those religious topics, but is there any good rule of thumb as to how to setup storage for a Xen domU? Without really knowing any better, I''m basically going to make a disk image of the OS and the create a ''data'' partition on my raid 5 volume for each virtual machine. This is for use at home, so in reality it probably doesn''t

I have the following script that when executed, consumes memory and makes the system inaccessible. All process are halted. First, I don't understand what is wrong with the script Secondly, I'm surprised that Linux allows this to run unchecked to the detriment of the entire system. ---- SCRIPT ----- #!/bin/sh FTP="/usr/bin/ftp" # VMID="asystem.ourcompany.com"

I am fairly new to xen and am trying to build a new guest using virt-manager. When I get to the screen where you can choose virtual or shared physical device there are no physical devices to choose from. Is there some step that I have missed while setting up my Dom0? -Joel Coopersmith Sr. Systems and Networking Analyst joel.coopersmith@accenture.com

My test box has an AMD dual core processor in it, giving me 2 physical cpu''s. If I overcommit the vcpu''s (eg vcpus=4) to simulate a 4 cpu machine, how accurate a simulation should it be (apart from performance sucking badly)?

Hi all- I''m hoping someone can help me with this problem with Xen under CentOS 5.1 (RHEL 5.1) I''m having... This is the Xen package that comes stock with the distribution, I didn''t compile it from source. I can boot Domain0 and the hypervisor just fine.

Hi,all, I cannot get my network in domain1 work. Here is my configuration: in dom0: I have two network cards, the ip addrs are 141.213.10.110 and 192.168.0.4, respectively. 141.213.10.110 is an external IP and can access internet directly. The gateway should be 141.213.10.1. /etc/xen/vfp: the domain1 configuration file, I created domain1 using ''xm create vmid=1 -f

Hello everybody, I''m playing with Xen and trying to extend DomU disk space. My Configuration: Dom0: all Xen machine are HVM. They''re installed on LVM. I''ve one VG (XEN) on Dom0 and created a LV (here, xps.101.disk) per DomU. disk configuration in xen conf is as follow: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/XEN/xps.%d.disk,ioemu:hda,w'' % (vmid)

Hello, i am creating my XEN VM with virt-install (see below). When I create new images i do first an "df -h" to see if there is still enough space left on the drive. Are the XEN images pre allocated or does XEN only use that space that really is used by the VM inside the image? I know have the Problem that an "du -h" inside my /VM folder gives me nearly a higher number that

I''m trying to get DHCP working with DomU clients. I don''t want to use libvirtd. There''s a dhcpd on the machine and it works fine for all clients in the network, but not for DomUs. If I set a static IP on the DomU all networking for them is fine, so there''s no general networking problem. I use the xen 3.2 packages for CentOS on CentOS 5.1. There was a public

Hi Xen-users, I am trying to boot of my fist guest domain. The below attached message was thrown on the screen. I am not quite sure that the below information is sufficient to root cause the issue.
