Hi, Since a week or two I can''t create two of my three WinXP DomU''s anymore, the third one starts just fine. This is the basic error message I get: # xm create WinXPViaLilaGeert Using config file "./WinXPViaLilaGeert". Error: Creating domain failed: name=WinXPViaLilaGeert There is little information in this error message. /var/log/xen/xend.log has a little more:

i try another xen experiance on a AMD-Opteron 165 processor, but this happens: VmError: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and enabled in your BIOS? cat /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 35 model name : Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 165 stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1000.000

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of

I have to collect cpuinfo and meminfo from hundreds of machines in preparation of updating our inventory and Xen version. Since we pin cpu and ram for dom0, this mangles the info. Is there way to get the real information? I know that xm top will give me the true RAM, but I need a non-interactive method. Specifically, I need the following real, unobfuscated/hidden info: Total RAM Processor (from

Hi, I?m using libvirt version 0.9.12 under Debian Squeeze with and AMD Opteron 4280. Executing the virsh capabilities command only show me the following flags: <cpu> <arch>x86_64</arch> <model>Opteron_G4</model> <vendor>AMD</vendor> <topology sockets='1' cores='8' threads='2'/> <feature name='nodeid_msr'/>

I am using a Asus M2A-VM mainboard with Athlon X2 2300 cpu. The mainboard features a AMD 690G chipset. I thought this hardware is amd-v compatible. While using xen with hvm I get the message: root@pluto:/etc/xen# xm create /etc/xen/win.cfg -c Using config file "/etc/xen/win.cfg". Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and enabled in your BIOS?

Thanks for all the replies. Looking at the specs for the processor it does not seem to have the vmx features in /proc/cpuinfo: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-2-Duo-T6400-Notebook-Processor.35100.0.html and the output from grep -E ?vmx|svm? /proc/cpuinfo is empty. /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kvm [keith.roberts at acer-centos kvm]$ ls kvm-amd.ko kvm-intel.ko

I just downloaded Debian Squeeze and installed Xen from packages, following the instructions here: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen I am able to get PV guests up and running easily, but HVM guests will not even boot. The HVM I am currently trying to run is Debian sarge, which I installed into a disk image and configured using qemu. I am running on an HP Proliant ML150G6, which has Intel-VT hardware

Hi, I?m testing to start a KVM-VM with different CPU settings and I get an weird error when I use the parameter: <cpu mode='host-model'> !! I have a AMD Opteron 4280 CPU, but in the VM, proc/cpuinfo shows me, that I?m using Intel core2duo cpu model T7700 and in the flag-line of proc/cpu the system is listing the svm-flag of AMD?!?! If I use <cpu

Hi list, I run several linux-hosts under Xen, but on my computer at home I''d like to get Windows running too as I need it once in a while.. I have an AMD X2 CPU and plenty of RAM running on an ABIT kn9 SLI motherboard. I can''t seem to find any info about support for AMD-V on this motherboard, so I guess I need a new one... Any suggestions as to what to buy? Thanx Sturla

Hi, I would like to ask the proper or recommended way of upgrading xen...? I started with 3.1.0 then upgraded to 3.2.1 but now I am not able to use the original system. Since I am not satisfied[*] with the current setup I would try to upgrade to 3.3.1 but it would be nice if something went wrong I could downgrade it to 3.2.x... It is a pitty that booting the previous xen image does not work

LKP framework can guarantee that all the software environment are same on AMD and INTEL platform. INTEL platform always work well, after revert this patch, AMD works well. we tried below commit on AMD. 1) 25de7691a0e27c29c8d783a22373cc265571f5e9: bad 2) a82235843b102202766115e10003c9465a8b83ae: good the error logs(build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log) has no difference b/w 1) and 2) on AMD platform
