similar to: GPLPV network performance

I''ve just uploaded 0.9.11-pre12 of the GPL PV drivers for Windows. Since -pre10 (and -pre11) I''ve fixed a heap of crashes that were plaguing xennet under load, and also rewritten the interrupt/event distribution logic to improve performance. Under windows 2003 I can now get network speeds of 1-2Gbit/second TX and 600Gbit/second RX, which is considerably better than I was

I''m going to set up a PVM on xen-3.3.1 debian-amd64. I need advices about the best methods to install a fresh debian on it (i.e. how to choose the kernel for pvm) . I''ve installed xen from sources and only have one xen kernel in /boot which I''m using for dom0; should I use the same kernel for domUs? There is any problem on use vcpus=2; the other vm is an hvm running

Hello! after update of GPLPV drivers from 0.9.12-pre13 to 0.10.0.86 on windows 2008 server domU I cant use xm shutdown <domU> in dom0 (nothing happens exactly for this domU, other domU with old drivers shutdowns normally), how to fix? opensuse11.1x64 xen 3.3.1 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

I''ve just uploaded 0.10.0.50 which fixes a few bugs related to high network load (BSoD''s & packet corruption). It should upgrade any previous 0.10.x.x. Additionally, I''ve also uploaded uninstall_0.9.x.txt (rename it to .bat) which will uninstall 0.9.x drivers. After running that, reboot and they should be gone. Please do a backup first though as I have only tested

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''ve just uploaded 0.9.11-pre7. save/restore should be working for 32 bits on both SMP and UP, and maybe for 64 bits although it''s not tested. If someone could test migration it would be much appreciated. The installer seems to not install the drivers under 64 bit environment... but they can then be installed manually. Not sure why at this point.

Hello! Please, help me, I''m totally lost choosing basic budget server for XEN. The variants are Sun (X2200 M2 or Sun X2250 M2) or maybe HP Proliant DL160 G5p. Or maybe some IBM server? Which X2200 configuration will perform better, two Opteron dual-core 22xx or single quad-core 23xx? Which one performing better nowadays, Opteron or Xeon? I know that 2-3 years ago Opteron was the

Hi James, I''m testing GPLPV 0.9.12-pre13 on Windows 2008 x64, and found some interesting results : - The drivers are NOT signed, even though I''ve install certs. Had to use F8 on boot. - both QEMU and Xen block device are active, which usually means corruption is coming. Is this a known issue? http://i44.tinypic.com/2vmypvk.png http://i42.tinypic.com/2mewnia.png Regards, Fajar

Hi all, After loading the GplPV drivers for Windows Server 2008, I wanted to get rid of the annoying F8 option when rebooting each time. I looked at Ready Driver Plus, which seemed to work, but was only a workaround. It also seemed to kill my terminal connection from Dom0. After some research, I found another way: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo Which will disable driver

Hi James Harper and others, I seen that problem already discussed early, but maybe it help you make hiding qemu devices when install gplpv driver. For now, when install gplpv i has not working qemu disk driver (gplpv works) and not working gplpv network (i think i can disable realtek network card and then gplpv will work). When you discuss German and French windows versions - you ask about

I need to installa a streaming server for live videos and for video on demand. My choice is red5. Do you think I can use a xen virtual machine to run a streaming service? Or it is better not to virtualize? Sorry for my bad english. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, I have a question about the switch /gplpv in boot.ini I see that some of the pv driver code is looking at this option; is there is any other piece of code that looks at this option before the drivers get loaded and perhaps change the bootpath or do something fancy?

Hello, My first post on Xen-Users, so .. i''ve discovered a strange problem.

I''ve just uploaded a couple of .bat files to http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/gplpv_uninstall_bat.zip that will manually (and forcibly) uninstall GPLPV from your computer, which seems to be necessary before doing upgrades from some versions. Run the uninstaller, reboot, then install. There is a 0.9.x and a 0.10.x uninstaller, which differ slightly, but the basic steps performed are:

I have a strange problem with these drivers. I have a host that has 31 VM''s running on it, all windows. They are running the same template, which has the latest GPLPV drivers installed. The problem occurred today when I went to add the 32nd VM, again from the same template. Now when the VM boots up I get a BSOD. I tried a different template to confirm that it was not template

I have never been able to get tap:aio devices running. When I try it in a Linux PV domain, it says: XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise: 295s... And they don''t work in my GPLPV drivers, which is the problem I am trying to solve, but I''d like to see them work under Linux first. Is there anything extra I need to do? I have loaded the xenblktap module (forgot to do this
