similar to: Linux distributions supported by Xen as PVM domUs

Hi: Reading Red Hat's Website and a printed manual of RH184 (Red Hat Virtualization course) I see that RHEL 5 only supports RHEL 4.5 and RHEL 5 as paravirtualized guests. So I asume this is the same situation for CentOS 5, right? What's the dependency between Xen versions for paravirtualized guests? I ask this questions because I got this experiences: 1. Running CentOS 5 as Dom0 - RHEL

Now I''m sure that the following configuration can destroy a PostgreSQL 8.3.5 database: * Linux host (dom0) with XEN, XFS filesystem with "nobarrier", RAID controller with battery backed cache. * XEN vm (domU) with XFS filesystem with "nobarrier" with postgresql * my daughter with 3.5 years switching off the power supply of the server, just behind the UPS Seems XEN

Hello Community, I successfully installed and run xen (xm list and xm info can output appropriately). However, while I was installing domU image by using virt-install -p at domU OS. I encountered an error information" Host does not support virtualization type ''xen'' ". I built xen from source. Some of my friends have the same issue, but if they use pre-build xen, the

I have a Xen DomU configuration that was made in the days before libvirt and virt-install. In this configuration I have: vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:05:06:01, bridge=xenbr0'', ''mac=00:16:3e:05:06:0a, bridge=xenbr1'' ] and then in xend-config.sxp I define (network-script my-network-bridge) where my-network-bridge is in the scripts directory and looks like this:

HI, guys Recently,I met a problem. Xen''s version: 3.4.3 guest os:redhat 4.8 32bit And xen.independent_wallclock = 1 has been set. The time of guest os change to be fast suddenly, about 2000 second. because the change is too wild, ntp didn''t sync to the ntp server''s time. my application is dependent on the systme time. And this occurs a lot of times. I don''t

Hi everyone, I have looked through the list archives and seen a few posts about jumbo frame support, but there is no definitive answer on whether or not it has been tested or is working for anyone. I tried using an MTU of 9000 in a domU and encountered some very interesting and not-so-great results. My machines used in this test are: * NFS (physical) * dom0 (physical) * domU (virtual)

I have seen the following kernel panic 5 times today on three different machines, two of which had been stable for months and one of which is a brand new install. We are running the x86_64 xen kernel and userland tools that came in the Xen 3.1.0 tarball from xen.org, on top of scientific linux (redhat clone) 5.1 or 5.2. <Aug/28 12:21 pm>Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at

I installed 64-bit xen 3.1.0 (from xensource.com tarballs) on three new machines today, using a configuration setup that I''ve used successfully many times before. However, I encountered a new problem. These are Dell Poweredge 1950 servers, by the way. >From lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 08:00.0 Ethernet

I have the xensource 3.1.0 x86_64 tarball installed over a RHEL5 clone distribution. The "ethtool" utility only returns the following information: [root@fermigrid5 etc]# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Link detected: yes [root@fermigrid5 etc]# Since I have no vanilla-installed rhel5 machines with which to compare, I am not sure if I am dealing with a bug in the ethtool (whose

Has anyone yet figured out what it would take to make Xen run on top of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 beta? We are heavily invested in Xen under RHEL5 (actually a redhat clone) distribution, but already the xen kernel they are shipping with update 4 and 5 is shaky and has bugs which they don''t seem to be in a hurry to fix. Basically I am wondering if Redhat 6 is just going to have

HI, I have been stuck by this problem for the whole week. We just did a simple experiment to test the network performance in xen use the benchmark--iperf. Our NIC is Gigabit, and we got exactly correct data in hostOS--fedoral core 8 without xen running, the bandwidth of the network was 931Mbps. But the problem is, when we start guest OS--fedoral core 8, and running iperf on it, we got data only

I''m running xen 3.1.2 as bastardized by RedHat on a redhat clone operating system. I''m using the xendomains script as it came out of the box to start my domU''s at boot and stop them at shutdown. There are three problems right now: 1) left to its own devices, service xendomains stop attempts to do "xm save" on each of the domU''s. that takes quite a

When I boot from a regular centos kernel, I get this for a mac 00:19:db:e5:91:4f somehow it is getting reversed. Could I have messed something up when I built the kernel?

Hi, I have been able to run 32 bit virtual machines on a 64 bit machine quite nicely with xen3.1 but sometimes when running yum the messages "do_wp_page: bogus page at address 0070d638" and "kernel: VM: killing process yum" and yum just stops working. I also get Kernel Panic. Does anyone have any idea, what could be the probem? Thanks, Ricardo

Hello, I knew that Amazon ec2 is using xen...but are they any documents/tutorial which teach how to plan/design/implement a grid/cloud computing infrastructure using Xen?

Hi, I (just) posted something similar to this on the fedora-xen list so apologies if some of you see it twice. I''m about to commission a new dom0 host to host multiple dom0 instances for testing purposes. I''m currently trying to decide what platform to use. I''ve previously used FC6 and CentOS5 as Dom0 hosts. I''d like to be able to use Xen 3.2, and I see

Does anyone know if the Xen 3.1.0 kernels as distributed in the "open source" tarballs (x86_64 version) are vulnerable to the recently-announced vulnerability CVE-2007-4573? IF so, is there any plan to release patched tarballs anytime soon? Thanks Steve Timm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.

Hi all, I am creating a CentOS 5.1 Paravirtualized guest On Xen 3.2.1 / Fedora 8 Dom0. I built DomU kernel from the Xen Linux 2.6.18.8 source. I also created an initrd image (I face some problems there as I had to manually copy some modules line xennet, ahci and libata). Anyway, I dounloaded the CentOS5.1 image from http://jailtime.org/ and copied it to a new partition. When I create the
