similar to: DomU in it''s own LVM partition fails to boot CentOS 5.2 Dom0/U

I''ve been running any number of CentOS 4 based Xen hosts and guests using CentOS 4.4, and the Xen RPM''s from www.xensource.com, and various hand-built OS images using jailtime and my own own OS images. I like the jailtime approach: One partition for / on the DomU, /dev/sda1, built as a local file or local LVM partition One partiton for swap on the DomU, /dev/sda2,

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10.

I''ve been using lvm under centos to create the backing store for domUs and although the performance seems acceptable it has some shortcomings. The biggest of which is the LVM bug which prevents me from removing an lv (it says it is still mounted and it definitely isnt). I thought this was just a centos bug but it appears to be evident in debian and ubuntu too and I really can''t

Hi Is it true that the GPLPV drivers is incompatible with QCOW images? The Windows DomU works fine with raw standard "file:/" images, and paravirtualized Linux DomU works fine with QCOW and raw images. If i use QCOW images with my Windows DomU''s i get a stop error: 0x00000007b (inaccessible boot device). It looks like the blkback.3.hda process, that normally starts with

Hi guys! I installed XEN 4.0 on Debian Squeeze but I cannot get the first DomU (not an image) started. Attached you will find /etc/xen/xen1.conf and the result of "xm create -c /etc/xen/xen1.conf" in xen1.log. Can you help me? What did I wrong? Is it about the fstab in xen1 (see also attached)? Many thanks in advance! Regards Stefan

Hi all, I''ve got xen-4.1.1 running with linux-3.0.0-rc5 and am trying to start my first guest, f14-x86_64, which does boot on bare metal. The configs below show kernel, ramdisk, and disk assignments for the virtual machine. They also show that the virtual machine uses the target disk devices. The last section shows part of the boot sequence starting with the disk assignments,

Hello, I have successfully used the following command line, but I would like to have some modifications. I would like the virtual disks to show up as disk paritions, rather than entire disks. 1) is there a way to do this via the command line, and 2) are there any real performance differences? virt-install -n daffy -r256 -f /dev/VolGroup01/root_daff -f /dev/ VolGroup01/swap_daff -f

I realize this might be one of those religious topics, but is there any good rule of thumb as to how to setup storage for a Xen domU? Without really knowing any better, I''m basically going to make a disk image of the OS and the create a ''data'' partition on my raid 5 volume for each virtual machine. This is for use at home, so in reality it probably doesn''t
