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?)

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

Hello All, Does anyone know what is the current status of RHEL 5.2 x86_64 with respect to the maximum amount of RAM detected by the Xen 64 bit kernel (the one that shipped with Red Hat distribution ) In the following link https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/en-US/RHEL510/Virtualization_Guide/ch-virt-hw-support.html it states that 32GB of RAM is the maximum amount of

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

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

Hi, Does anyone know what is happening with centos 8-Streams kernel? It has been behind RHEL for months now, RHEL8.7 has 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8 built in December and Streams has 4.18.0-408.el8 built all the way back in end October. Is there some policy somewhere that I missed that says that 9 will be now getting the focus or whatnot? thanks,

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.

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

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.

Heh, Your sentiments on the website very much mirror my own, although I?m more focused on server applications rather than on desktop (we use Macs and Ubuntu for that). When Red Hat announced Streams, I was terrified at first and my first instinct was to switch to Rocky or a similar 1:1 distro, but then thought there might be something good coming out of the whole ordeal. And indeed it did, we

If you want to follow CentOS Stream development, I have two websites that grab CentOS-supplied XML and publish blog entries of updated packages whenever that happens: https://centos.passthejoe.net/ https://passthejoe.tilde.institute/centos/ Both websites have the same content. Frustration with CentOS Stream 8 development and security -- especially the kernel -- drove me to create this site so

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:

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.

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

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?

i''m reading up on numa usage. so far, i''ve enabled numa on my Xen box. @ Dom0 i see, xm dmesg | grep -i numa (XEN) Command line: ... numa=on ... (XEN) No NUMA configuration found i guess i need to ''configure'' numa. i''ve no clue how, and haven''t found the docs for it yet, despite looking. i found this old thread,

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?
