Which cpu is hit when domU does the heavy disk IO? dom0 cpu or domU cpu? I can see tapdisk in dom0 eating CPU. I have (dom0-cpus 1) setup in xen config. Thanks!

hi, I have two machines, machine1 and machine2 both in the same network. The command I have been using to install a paravirt guest is virt-install --name=test --ram=512 --vcpus=1 --file=/dev/vgraid/puremessage-vm-root --paravirt --location=http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.2/os/x86_64/ In machine 1 it is working. But not in machine 2. It is not able to retrieve or access url in machine 2.

Hi. I have an old Xen para virt vm which I created using sparse file. Is there any way to convert this vm image to non-sparse without shutting down the vm?. Thanks Paras.

virt-p2v was able to convert my centOS 5.2 physical machine to xen virtual machine and it runs great. Now, I am working on to convert this full virt machine to para virt . Under my domU i have installed kernel-xen (since it is needed ) , and edited my grub menu to use the installed kernel. My grub menu file in domU looks like: ---- kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen ro

Hi, I don't have ifcfg-eth1 in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. But when I do ifconfig eth1 I can see output as below. If I do ifconfig eth12 , I don't see anything which i am assume is normal. eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:E8:44:DB:CC BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0

Can I install a ubuntu guest in a para virt mode from an ISO file in CentOS Dom0 without using debootstarp? I have an appliance based on ubuntu which I need to install as a para virt guest. Thanks ! Paras.

Hi, I believe I can post this here. I have a domU ( Redhat 6) running in Paravirt mode. When I migrate this domU to another host, looks like the domU is freezing in the other host. When I take it back to original host ,it starts to run normally and this is what can see in dmesg of domU : suspending xenstore... trying to map vcpu_info 0 at ffff88000434b020, mfn b67660, offset 32 cpu 0 using

My CentOS 5.4 box has a single HBA card with 2 ports connected to my Storage. 2 Luns are assigned to my HBA card. Under /dev instead of seeing 4 devices I can see 12 devices from sdb to sdm. I am using qlogic driver that is bulitin to the OS. Has any one seen this kind of situation? Paras -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I am running a cluster having 2 nodes using red hat cluster suite. node 1 has a para virtualized guest(centOS) running under Xen. My question is when node1 is rebooted, guest is automatically relocated to node 2 . Instead of relocation, is migration possible in this case which can result in Zero down time? Thanks in adv Paras. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

hi. i was migrated an old woody samba server to a new lenny samba virtualized server. That server is a PDC with random profiles and file server. Some users are reporting me bad performance in the app shared (all developed on MS-ACCESS). the memory and cpu reports in the domU show all fine, but i have some doubts in the disk performance. The dom0 is a Dell PowerEdge T610 (2 cpu Intel Xeon, 8GB

hi, I''m new on this list and i need help from experienced users to give andswer for some questions. I sen up a dom0 (debian) and would like it to be very minimalist, just xen tools, some gnu utils and other usefull utilities. This dom0 will be used to virtualize many hvm OS like windows and some other *nix paravirtualized. Till there are no problem to view/connect to console of paravirt

hi, My volume group is vg. Inside that i have around 10 lvm partitions (each of 100GB). When I try to remove partitions using lvremove /dev/vg/lvm1 It acts like the machine freezes and after a long time the lvremove process gets killed saying "Killed" Whats wrong here. I don't see anything interesting in /var/log/message Thanks Paras.

Hi, Need help on data recovery. Suddenly my disk device's geometry has been changed to something that doesnot make any sense. Its a 1.8TB in size and had only one single partition. Now I can see 3 partitions sde1, sde2 and sde2 of sizes 130M, 140GB and 10GB. Is there any way to recover data from these newly created disk devices? Thanks Paras.

Hi, My storage admin just assigned a Lun (fibre) to my server. Then re scanned using echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host5/issue_lip echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host6/issue_lip I can see the scsi device using dmesg But mpath device are not created for this LUN Pleas see below. The last 4 should be active and I think this is the problem Kernel:

Hi All, Debian Lenny, Xen 3.2.1 Apologies if this has been covered many times before, but I''m unsure how to go about this. I want to obtain stats from my dom0, IO, cpu etc over time to see if I''m getting any load peaks or if my hardware could handle more domU''s. I''m thinking of something similar to sar which gives you 15 minute averages across the day. I
