Hello, I want to implement a diskless xen hypervisor. The way I suppose it will work is xen booted over pxe and getting iscsi san storage to store vm images. Is solution like that usable ? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I understand that all work is going into xen3, but I had wanted to note that aoe (drivers/block/aoe) is giving me trouble on xen 2.0.6 (so we can keep and eye on xen3). Specifically I can''t see nor export AOE devices. As a quick background on AOE, it is not IP (not routable, etc), but works with broadcasts and packets to MAC addresses (see http://www.coraid.com). (for anyone who

hi to the list, Hello everyone, I am new in the world of pxe booting and i try to use AOE to boot my linux debian lenny machines. I install the linux like this: parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 17408B 314590207B parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 314590208B 3535815679B parted -s

Hi, I have a working PXE environment that chainloads gPXE and loads pxelinux.0 afterwards. As I'm also interested in doing san boot (in my case aoe) I tried loading the new gpxelinux.0 file instead of my gPXE --> pxelinux.0 setup (works) and booting from my aoe target by adding this to the default config file: LABEL doaoe MENU LABEL Continue AoE kernel sanboot.c32 append

hello ! i try to use a network technology on one single host, which wasn`t designed for that. to give a short overview of what i`m talking about: AoE is just like a "networked blockdevice" (just like nbd/enbd) - but without tcp/ip. AoE kernel driver is the "client end" (see this like an iSCSI initiator) - and an etherblade storage appliance is the "server end"

Greetings, Xen developers! I have been using AoE with Xen to great effect and I am very pleased with how the whole system has worked out. The two technologies really complement each other. I consider it the ultimate setup. Aside from the network switch (eventually to be remedied) my serving infrastructure has zero single points of failure. However, this virtualization paradise has a flaw:

Dear developer, I am working on a project for my graduate work (diploma), which includes iSCSI and AOE booting. I made some menus using pxelinux and things are working fine with linux, but I have a small problem with windows system which require direct iscsi or aoe access. I have dhcpd.conf setup that it to each first dhcp request handles out pxelinux.0, then I can chooose from that menu which OS

I have finally gotten one version of windows 2003 r2 x64 installed as a guest. The bad news is no network. The network tab says it''s a realtek 8139 when I know it is a intel. I tried downloading the intel drivers and they wont install says it''s the wrong hard ware. Is this common that it uses a 8139 as a generic network card? Also the network card shows The

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | |

I''ve been brainstorming... I want to create a 2-node HA active/active cluster (In other words I want to run a handful of DomUs on one node and a handful on another). In the event of a failure I want all DomUs to fail over to the other node and start working immediately. I want absolutely no single-points-of-failure. I want to do it with free software and no special hardware. I want

Hai,   I was just reading : https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ata-over-ethernet-aoe-on-debian-8-jessie/   I was wondering, anyone tried AoE for sysvol, so i dont needs replication anymore. Anyone Pro’s and Con’s ?    Or can anyone tell of sysvol is going to be replicated by samba so we dont need scripts anymore.     Greetz,   Louis

Hello, I have encountered a crash in dom0 kernel while booting a domU from an AOE device. I haven''t seen such crashes when booting from local partitions/ LVM volumes/ loopback file systems. Also I haven''t seen such crash when I did repetitive I/O to these AOE devices. As the call trace of crash indicates the crash is in xenolinux kernel. Also this crash is predictably

Hi, I'm pretty new to ocfs2 and a bit stuck. I have two Debian/Squeeze (testing) machines accessing an ocfs2 filesystem over aoe. The filesystem sits on an lvm2 volume, but I guess that is irrelevant. Even when mostly idle, everything accessing the cluster sometimes hangs for about 20 seconds. This happens rather frequently, say every 5 minutes, but the interval seems irregular while the

Hi I suceeded to run freenx on centos3 with the nomachine client, but I still have some issues. First I can only get a new whole desktop (kde) session. I cannot resume it, and it always leave tons of process that I have to kill from root. I don't need the whole kde desktop, and only want to have single windows. This is called the rootless mode I think and cannot make it work, it simply

I am trying to get a proof-of-concept type setup going...I have a storage box and 2 xen servers...I am using file based disk that live on the aoe device...i can run the vm from either host without issue...when I run the live migration, the domain leaves the xm list on host 1 and shows up on host 2 (however there is a pause for pings of about 2 minutes?)...after it is on host 2, I can xm console

On Coraids (Inventor of AoE) website, they claim the?r drivers will also work on Solaris. So my question is: Will there be any technical limitations regarding implementation of ZFS and AoE ? If not yet possible, the developers of OpenSolaris might consider this option as a natural step I guess. What do You people think ? With cheap disk attachments over an ethernet, and with ZFS, I think

Hi We use AoE disks for some of our systems. Currently, a 15.65Tb filesystem we have is full, I then extended the LVM by a further 4Tb but resize4fs could not handle a filesystem over 16Tb (CentOS 5.5). I then reduced the lvm by the same amount, and attempted to create a new LV, but get this error message in the process lvcreate -v -ndata2 -L2T -t aoe Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated.

Nick, What are you planning on running over the shared connection? Database, eMail, File Shares? How many users? How much data? What is your I/O profile? I've worked with 'enterprise' storage most of my career either as a consumer, adviser or provider - can't comment on AoE other than to suggest you look at what are the business & technical goals, how they solve it and what

Hi , One of the things I am working on requires me to have a kernel and an initrd (as root filesystem , based on busybox) in one single image. I am trying to use initramfs for this, but there are a few things that I just can't figure out. As a test, I made a cpio archive of my own for the kernel source (plain 2.6.0-test5). Everything gets unpacked just fine during boot. Somehow I was
