Hi all, I am running Xen 3.2-1 / 2.6.18 on Debian Etch (Dom0). I setup a Dom0 with several DomUs (Linux). Each DomU disk is a LV partition. I have been seeing a few mails about backups and LVM and just wanted to make sure that what I am doing is correct. Each DomU with a database has a cron that dumps the db with mysqldump. Later on, Dom0 will do an LVM Snapshot of all DomUs and then do a

Dear Xen users! In case you were struggling with recent version of th gplpv drivers, I''ve possibly found an LVM related bug in it, and reported to James Harper. Thats''s the point: I''ve tested the mentioned version of your driver on top of 32bit xen-3.2.1 32bit xen-3.3.0 and 64bit xen xen-3.3.0 hypervisors, dom0 was always an appropriate version of a 32bit PAE kernel,

Hi All, I was hoping to pick someone''s brain about the best way of moving a Xen disk image (which has LVM''s inside of it) to a new block-device?  I have the target DRBD device ready but unsure what''s the best & safest way to do it. I was actually tempted to mount the Xen disk image in a dom0, and make it visible via loop devices and promote that DRBD node for

Hi, I''m trying to setup my box as described below: - The Dom0 exports two disks as physical devices to the DomU - DomU use the two devices to assemble a software raid device (/dev/md0) - On the /dev/md0 I create a lvm volume group and lvm volumes on it. Everything seems to work fine if the lvm volumes on the DomU are lightly used. Under heavy load the DomU freeze up immediately. The

Hello, Can some tell me how i can create a lvm on file base image within my dom0 or How i can attach an image as block device under the /dev/ directory _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi. I have some narrow questions and a larger one. If I make an existinig LVM VG a storage pool, can I use some of the LV's for libvirt and some for the host? Or does the VG needed to be completely dedicated to virtualization? Assuming mixed use is possible, is it possible to do an LVM snapshot of an LV in use for a VM? The snapshot would have to be initiated and used on the host, I

So, we just moved to some much faster hardware. intel q6600 CPU, 8Gb unbuffered ECC, ICH7 sata (2x1TB disks) - and we were irritated and puzzled to find that the new setup had really, really slow I/O. The odd thing is that the performance is fine if you just mount the LV directly from the Dom0... but if you xm block-attach it to the Dom0 and then mount it, you get 1/10th the speed. we are

Hello all, I''ve been searching through the archives and the internet for a while now, and can''t seem to find anything that helps me out. I hope you don''t my posting this to both xen-users and linux-lvm simultaneously, but i figured it''d help keep the solution in one place... even though it''ll be the same across two places... Anyways: My setup is this:

Hi I had installed Xen-3.0.4 in Scientific linux 4 (kernel version 2.6.16.33) by following the instructions given in following link project-xen.web.cern.ch/project-xen/xen/howto_slcXen.html I ve created the guest Domain with fedora image of size 2.2GB , disk space as 10GB and the domain started successfully . when i logged into the xm console and checked the disk space its showing only 2.2GB ..

Hi, I''m just wondering if there are any speed or stability differences between running a system directly of a LVM partition versus a xvd partition? Basicly: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/LVM/root,xvda,w'', ] vs disk= [ ''phy:LVM/root,hda1,w'',] Any tips? I tried searching the archives but I didn''t find anything. Kind regards, Tarjei

Sorry for my ignorance. When I create xen virtual machines on lvm I need to create a filesystem on lvm container? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I want to replace an existing 32bit with a 64bit installation (Centos 5). There's an existing LVM with lots of partitions. Most are used for Xen guests. The system itself uses only one of them plus a separate /boot partition that is not on LVM. What's the best course of action here? Should I do the reinstall with kickstart or better manually and reuse the existing filesystem? As I

hi everyone, do we get to encrypt lvm pools in/with libvirt? I'm on Centos 7.x but see mention of it, not even on the net. Or in other words - can guests(lxc I'm thinking of) run off ecrypted lvm where at least the part when dev gets luksOpened is taken care of by libvirt? many thanks, L.

I''ve read up on VM migration but didn''t see any instructions for this, or whether it''s even possible. Is there a migration compatibility matrix somewhere that details the xen versions, storage, VM modes, etc that are compatible? Can I migrate an HVM linux VM from a xen 3.3 server that uses file backed VMs to a 4.01 server and use LVM storage? I''m phasing out

Hi all I want to shrink one of my LVM based domU''s, but don''t quite know how to do it. I have searched the Wiki & HOWTO''s, and they all show you how expand / enlarge a LVM based domU, but not shrinking it. So, I stopped (destroyed) the domU, and then resized it as follows: lvresize /dev/data/cpanel1 -L10GB (It was 100GB), but when I a started it up again, I

I now how to expand a LVM by creating a new drive as described here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-February/032664.html, the steps are: # pvcreate /dev/sda3 # vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sda3 Now, I want to know how to expand a LVM without create /dev/sda3? Suppose I have 2 GB free (unpartitioned) and LVM use /dev/sda2 (8 GB). How to make /dev/sda2 become 10 GB? Then resize LVM

Hi, I'm trying to resize a 15GB LVM root partition on a fedora20 server with a fedora20 guest and I'm having a problem. Is this supported on fedora20?
