Hello list! (resending, it seems the previous mail didn''t make it to the list) At some point Xen supported block-reconfigure to resize domU disks on the fly.. This is not working atm/anymore? Discussion about the subject.. (in the end of the thread): http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-04/msg00246.html Support for online resizing Linux SCSI disks was accepted

I'm trying to test out an Equallogic PS5500 with a server running CentOS 4.7 I can create a volume and mount it fine using the standard iscsi-initiator-utils tools. The Equallogic box has 3 Gigabit interfaces and I would like to try to set up things so I can read/write from/to the volume using multiple NICs on the server i.e. get 200+ Mbyte/s access to the volume - I've had some

We have a Mirror setup in ZFS that''s 73GB (two internal disks on a sun fire v440). We currently are going to attach this system to an Equallogic Box, and will attach an ISCSCI LUN from the Equallogic box to the v440 of about 200gb. The Equallogic Box is configured as a Hardware Raid 50 (two hot spares for redundancy). My question is what''s the best approach to moving the ZFS

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Former user of Xen and newbie in kvm/qemu/libvirt stuff, I give it a try on my network ;-) I need to run a VM with iSCSI target attached. I did it this way : 1) Creation of iscsi pool (equa.xml) : <pool type="iscsi"> <name>equalog</name> <source> <host name="10.10.0.1"/> <device

Hi List, Does anyone here use Dell Equallogic IP SAN? If so, do you have any immediate high points / low points you wouldn't mind discussing on- or off-list ? Thanks.

I''m planning on setting up an NFS server for our ESXi hosts and plan on using a virtualized Solaris or Nexenta host to serve ZFS over NFS. The storage I have available is provided by Equallogic boxes over 10Gbe iSCSI. I am trying to figure out the best way to provide both performance and resiliency given the Equallogic provides the redundancy. Since I am hoping to provide a 2TB

Hi everyone! I have 2 hosts + 1 ISCSI device. I want to create a shared storage repository and both hosts use together. I wont use NFS. prepared sr: xe sr-create host-uuid=xxx content-type=user name-label=NAS1 shared=true type=iscsi device-config:target=xxxx device-config:targetIQN=xxxx hosts see the iscsi device: scsi4 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access NAS

If you use any NAS (or a SAN) devices, what do you use? And I'm referring more to larger scale network storage than your home PC or home theater system. We've had very good experiences with our NetGear ReadyNAS devices but I'm in the market for something new. The NetGear's aren't the cheapest ones around but they do what it says on the box. My only real gripe with them is the

Hello list! I''ve noticed this problem a couple of times now.. so I''m wondering if it''s a known bug? Symptoms: After "long" dom0 uptime (174 days when it happened now, was something similar on previous times too) cannot start new pv domUs anymore.. pygrub runs and boots the kernel, but kernel newer gets to actually running initrd and the console output

Hello, I have been using Xen now for several months and have been quite successful until attempting to utilize iscsi within my domU''s. My research has turned up many posts of people using iscsi with no problems, and I have found no others with the problem I seem to be experiencing. If this has been covered on this list in the past, please accept my humble apologies. Configuration:

Hi, folks, I''m attempting to run an e-mail server on Xen. The e-mail system is Novell GroupWise, and it serves about 250 users. The disk volume for the e-mail is on my SAN, and I''ve attached the FC LUN to my Xen host, then used the "phy:/dev..." method to forward the disk through to the domU. I''m running into an issue with high I/O wait on the box (~250%)

could we increase the size for dom guest online without rebooting or unmounting? pls kindly advise any methods.

Hello, I have a small Xen farm of 8 dom0 servers with 64 virtual machines running para-virtualized and this has been working great. Unfortunately, I''ve hit a limit: my iSCSI hardware supports only 512 concurrent connections and so I''m pretty much at the limit. (Wish I would have seen that problem sooner!) Of course, 87% of those connections are idle-- but necessary because I

Sorry for the off-topic question but I need advice on a buying a ISCSI SAN for 4-6 servers running CentOS 4.4 .The main purpose for the SAN is to store email accounts (that will be accessed by imap - dovecot) and other documents. Minimal redundancy is required (e.g. dual power supplies, battery backed write cache or mirrored controllers) and price for a 2 TB configuration should be under $ 10000.

I''ve installed debian lenny amd64, it is frozen now. I''ve install kernel for xen support but it doesn''t start. It says "you need to load kernel first" but I''ve installed all the packages concerning xen, also packages related to the kernel. Perhaps lenny doesn''t support xen anymore? Any solution?

Hi experts, First I post my log root@intel_5500_server:/> ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:17:BB:5E:88 inet addr:128.224.165.205 Bcast:128.224.165.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::215:17ff:febb:5e88/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2375 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

In my experiments with setting up a NAS as a VM, I can only successfully import three drives; the root drive, the cd and one more. However, I have plenty that I want to use: disk=[''file:/vserver/vm_disks/Patch.disk.xm,hda,w'', ''phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hdd,w'', ''phy:/dev/sdb,ioemu:hde,w'', ''phy:sdc,ioemu:hdf,w'',

So I'm working with the iSCSI Initiator and an EqualLogic SAN. I'm not sure when this might have happened, but it appears that the /dev/sdc device is missing, yet the /dev/sdc1 partition exists AND is mountable. Is there a method to re-create the /dev/sdc device? I cannot dd or fdisk it, obviously, but I can mount the /dev/sdc1 partition and it works just fine. Not having the /dev/sdc

Hi there guys. I''m using CentOS 5.4, I was able to compile my custom Dom0 kernel and boot it, now I''ve got some doubts. I''d like to compile a custom DomU image, the problem is that when I do, make kernels KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" it tries to download the kernel from the HG repository which seems to have old 2.6.18 kernels, I want to use the GIT
