Dear All, We are preparing amount 400 servers to deploy a large scale XEN cluster; I am looking for the best solution for that, these are some things I need to resolve: 1) 400 servers use raid-1, each server will have more than 100GB free disk space, I want to combine all of these for the cluster''s storage, so, it need to install the distribute file system; 2) How to

Well, you have two options: 1) If your hardware supports VT, you can boot this in a Xen HVM domU (fully virtualized). To do this, you need to make sure that the initrd images in the Linux partition are set up correctly to support the PIIX IDE/ATA chipset and that your root and fstab entries use the correct device. 2) If you can install a Xen domU kernel into the Linux partition install, you can

Hi, I have a problematic CentOS XEN server and hope someone could point me in the right direction to optimize it a bit. The server runs on a Core2Quad 9300, with 8GB RAM (max motherboard can take, 1U chassis) on an Intel motherboard with a 1TB SATA HDD. dom0 is set to 512MB limit with a few small XEM VM''s running: root@zaxen01:[~]$ xm list Name ID

Hi all, I have an odd problem, for which I couldn't find any suggestions on google. A CentOS 5.7x64 gives me a blank screen on bootup, both to the 17" LCD monitor connected to the VGA port, and to the KVMOVIP device built-into the server, I can see the GRUB boot loader, and everything booting up, upto the point where it says "Waiting for driver initialization.", then it goes

Hi all, How can I boot a XEN domU guest into safe mode? One of our servers was forcefully shutdown, and it seems like one of my VM''s could be corrupt, or something. When I boot it up, I get the following on the console: Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Setting up other

HVM = fully virtualized. The question is, why are you using fully virtualized domUs?

Hi, We have a server which locks up about once a week (for the past 3 weeks now), without any warning, and the only way to recover it, is to reset the server. This causes unwanted downtime, and often software loss as well. How do I debug the server, which runs CentOS 5.2 to see why it locks up? The CPU is an Intel Q9300 Core 2 Quad, with 8 GB RAM, on an Intel Motherboard The last few entries

Nah, RHEL 5.1+ supports 32-bit domU (PAE and non PAE) on 64-bit dom0.

Hi, What is the preferred OS to use with XEN, as the dom0 host? We primarely us CentOS (currently 5.6) but it seems that the native XEN that comes with CentOS is a bit behind.

Hi all, Does anyone know what the correct steps are to add a XEN bridge, let''s say xenbr0 to Debian Squeeze? I have added the following to /etc/network/interfaces # XEN Bridge auto xenbr0 iface xenbr0 inet manual bridge ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 And then rebooted the server but brctl show still shows eth0 as bridge: newusaxen:~# brctl

Hi all, One of our CentOS 5.3 randomly reboots, at different times of the day, and I can't see why it's doing it. I have looked through the logs, but don't see any thing in there that shows me why it has rebooted. How can I debug this? Here's a snipped from the log, around the time of the reboot: Jun 2 14:59:59 usaxen02 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data
