similar to: RHEL 5.2 Xen Kernel doesn''t detect all amount of physical memory

Hello list; I´ve updated my windows 2k3 GPLPV drivers from 0.9.9 to 0.9.12-pre13. But now, i have two xen block devices; (of course, one of them is not working and is marked with the yellow exclamation). How can i fix it, or how can i uninstall the GPLPV drivers in order to make a clean install? Thanks Juan Pablo _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

I have an error in my dmesg system log about hpet not correctly enabling: hpet_acpi_add: no address or irqs in _CRS The same kernel without Xen enables it fine: hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000 (virtual 0xffffffffff5fe000), IRQs 2, 8, 31 hpet0: 3 32-bit timers, 25000000 Hz hpet_resources: 0xfed00000 is busy Do I have to pass an additional boot option? (ACPI is already enabled) or is there

Dear Xen users, I have a problem with "Xen 3.3.0". All domU (paravirt) only have "32 KB" of cache instead of "6144 KB" as listed in dom0. This is really noticeable under load since the system tends to be really slow. I did not have this problem with "Xen 3.2.1". I''m using the same domU configuration files for the new and the old installation.

Hello, We have installed RHEL 5.2 Server ( i386 image ) on a machine with 64GB of RAM. When booting the default PAE kernel ( 2.6.18-92.el5PAE ) that is shipped with RHEL 5.2 installation the OS detects 64GB of RAM. But when booting the Xen kernel ( 2.6.18-92.el5xen ) the OS detects only 14GB of the total amount of available RAM. Did anyone encounter this problem before ? Is it a normal

Hi, I would like to ask the proper or recommended way of upgrading xen...? I started with 3.1.0 then upgraded to 3.2.1 but now I am not able to use the original system. Since I am not satisfied[*] with the current setup I would try to upgrade to 3.3.1 but it would be nice if something went wrong I could downgrade it to 3.2.x... It is a pitty that booting the previous xen image does not work

Sorry to have so many questions but I seem to have quite a few mini problems with my first Xen setup. My xen server works fine with Powernow on the standard Kernel but with the Xen kernel it fails. Does anyone know why? Details below. With Standard Kernel powernow-k8: Found 2 Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8350 processors (8 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: 0 : fid 0x0

I have been using the built in Xen Paravirt NIC drivers for paravirt networking and had bad performance until I disabled all offload setting on the bridge and paravirt nic (From Dom0). There are 2 related questions I have, where should I be tweaking the offload settings, the Dom0 Physical NIC, The Bridge or the DomU NIC? Which settings in particular tend to cause trouble? (I just disabled all of

My future plan currently looks like this for my VPS hosting solution, so any feedback would be appreciated: Each Node: Dell R210 Intel X3430 Quad Core 8GB RAM Intel PT 1Gbps Server Dual Port NIC using linux "bonding" Small pair of HDDs for OS (Probably in RAID1) Each node will run about 10 - 15 customer guests Storage Server: Some Intel Quad Core Chip 2GB RAM (Maybe more?)

Hello, I am trying to install Win2008 x64 on xen. However it always crashes with: 0x0000005b which from my research means incompatible CPU. Can anyone assist with this?

Hi, we''re contemplating getting a large new server, where we will run a number of virtual servers. Are there any things we need to keep in mind in that case? Are there limitations on what a Xen system can manage? We''re talking about a 4 x Quad core CPU server with 64 GBs of RAM and a couple of terabytes of RAIDed SATA storage. -Morten (Re-sending this, as the first message

The subject says it all really, I''m pretty sure the system and bios are NUMA aware but I''m not sure if it''s enabled? Is it supported in 3.2.1 stable?

Hi Ola, There was some code done by IBM a few years ago in conjunction with a University that worked and showed the benefits but AFAIK it was never integrated into Xen. The research paper is around on the web. A few of us requested RDMA migration support for version 4.0 and it is at the top of the request list, I suspect it is probably a case of enough people asking and Citrix approving.

Hi Alli need some information about how i can extend the HDD in domU. I am a domU having 10GB of disk assigned to it now which is running out of space. is there a way i can assign a other 10GB space to the system in such a way that it appears as a single HDD of 20GB without loss of data.

Hi everyone, This is my first attempt at a PV guest install from scratch and I''m a tad confused. Have I answered one of the questions virsh-install asks wrongly? Does anyone know of a general guide for installing PV guests with virsh-install? (Most Centos docs seem to use the GUI based virt-manager and I only have command line access). Am I meant to make use of the files here:

Hello to all. I’m new to Xen and virtualization. We are a small business, with up to 10 users. In order to reduce our TCO, I’m thinking on installing virtual machines to cut down costs and maintenance. 1) A 10/100/1000 network to which 1 virtual machine server attached 2) The different virtual server to run in it are : a. MS Windows 2003/2008 Domain controller, DHCP and

I am trying to get PV drivers running on both Centos 5.1 and Centos 5.3 HVMs, my DomU is Centos 5.2 with Xen 3.31. For 5.1 I install the kmod-xenpv RPM but for 5.3 the drivers seem to be built-in. For the network drivers to work I had to unload the Realtek NIC driver and renamed its .ko files to stop it loading. Adding the Xen-Vnif alias to modprobe.conf then got the PV NICs working nicely (Much

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to get Xen to use a native DRBD device but it seems it will not create the virtual machine. It does not seem to like the DRBD device type, any ideas on what might be wrong? I''m pretty sure my xen config file is OK and the DRBD device looks fine too. Full details below. xm create centostest Using config file "./centostest".
