I am not sure if it''s a xen bug or lvm bug, or just my bad hardware, but here''s how to reproduce: /dev/vg0/centos1 is lvm block used by a domainU, it''s 8G in size. #lvcreate -L8192M -s -n snap1 vg0 #mount /dev/vg0/snap1 /mnt do some copying files here #umount /mnt #lvremove /dev/vg0/snap1 not removed! it says can''t allocated memory #xm mem-set 0 512 #lvremove

Hi list, I setup on 2 Xen Dom0s drbd/gfs a logical volume, this works as primary/primary so both DomUs will be able to write on them at the same time. But I dont know how to mount them from my domUs, I can see them with fdisk -l. The partition is /dev/xvdb1 SHould I install gfs on domUs and mount them on each as gfs partitions? [root@p3x0501 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/xvda: 5368 MB, 5368709120

Hi, Its it possible to restore a domain on a different machine where xm save was initially executed? Regards, Ricardo _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, how can I install a openSuSE 10.3 PV-guest on a LVM-drive of a openSuSE 10.3 host with Xen 3.10? On 10.2 with Xen 3.0.3 the openSuSE-YaST-module for managing VMs could install the system also on block-devices, unfortunately this is not possible anymore with OSS 10.3 :-( What I have tried: - I created two LVM-partitions, one for "/" one for swap. - Installing an OSS 10.2 PV-guest

Hello, I have a problem using xm suspend and xm save. When I use "xm suspend ts" (ts is the name of my DomU) I get the error-message "Error: Domain is not managed by Xend lifecycle support." In /var/log/xen/xend.log there is no output about the error. I found this question in the internet but there were no replies and I did not find any information about configuring

Hi, I found minor bugs in xm restore command. 1) When I gave a wrong check point file, a return code of command was 0. # touch /tmp/dummy # xm restore /tmp/dummy Error: not a valid guest state file: signature read # echo $? 0 2) When Xend had been stopping, I saw the following traceback message. # xend stop # xm restore /xen/save.vm1 Unexpected error: exceptions.AttributeError Please

I want to get couple of DomUs running with Xen. I installed Xen 4.1.5 from source on a Fedora 17 Dom0. I did some reading on configuring DomUs using xl/xm and cfg files. http://www.fclose.com/b/linux/2544/setting-up-lvm-backed-xen-domu/ http://www.fclose.com/w/Setting_Up_Xen_DomU_on_Fedora:_Unmodified_Fedora_on_Top_of_Xenified_Fedora_Xen_Dom0%23Install_Fedora_12_Linux_via_Internet So basically I

Hi all, some results from my configuration. I''ve this configuration (I''m not interested in raw top performances but in reliability.. so, I can accept slow MB/sec and prefer to rely on a RAID6, for example): 1 Infortrend iSCSI Array A16E-G2130-4 with: - 1GB DDR cache - RAID6 - 7 x 500GB sataII Seagate ST3500630NS with 16mb (no budget for SAS) - one of the logic volumes (about

Hi, I emailed about a week ago but did not get any response back This my second attempt. I understood that xm save -c (checkpointing feature) was included in Xen 3.1, but after taking days to have Xen running it seems that Xen 3.1 does not support VM (PVM or HVM) checkpointing. Is there any pseudo-stable version of Xen that supports checkpointing? cc

Hi, I tried to issue: xm save VMID FILE, and got the following error: Error: Error: [Failure instance: Traceback: twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError, Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused. xm create works fine, xend is running on domain 0, I can log in the VM through xm console VMID and ssh without problems. I can also stop and restart the domain.

Hi All, I am using xen (3.0.2)from some months and pretty happy with it. But i am afraid that xen kernel (2.6.16) has some limited support for lvm snapshot. I have two boxes with some domU and want to backup them on remote servers. I did this using lvm snapshot. First time it goes fine and backups created successfully. But second time when backup script was running in cron job, kernel through

I must not be understanding something trivial that I cannot find in the documentation. I am running Xen 2.0.5 with Fedora Core 3 successfully. I have a VM (VM4) running a test shell script that loops infinitely while writing the date and a counter every second (to /tmp/counter). The entire VM is using a file-backed VBD for all storage (/vm-images/vm-4-disk acting as sda1 to the VM). Running

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I didn't provide more details, but, yes, these are HVM domains. I use PV domains whenever possible, but in the case of Windows XP, that isn't possible, so I have to use HVM. I haven't tried suspending to OCFS2 with a PV domain, but I may give that a shot. Still, I think it's strange that it works perfectly fine to my ext3 and reiser filesystems, but

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 3.0.3-0-2 Severity: normal gzip -3 compresses the Xen save files in a reasonably small amount of time and makes them take less than half the space that they might otherwise require. On systems with an encrypted root filesystem and on systems that have really fast CPUs if xm supported such compression then that would increase the speed of xm save and xm restore

Hi everyone, I'm trying to recover a deleted LVM volume but can't see to get the syntax right. Running the following command gives me a list of backed up LVM volumes: root at usaxen02:[~]$ vgcfgrestore -l fluidVG_125094317679 ------- snip --------- File: /etc/lvm/archive/fluidVG_125094317679_00126-1479850541.vg VG name: fluidVG_125094317679 Description: Created

What I am aiming for at this point is 1. xm pause ec1 2. xm save ecv1 ec1StateBack 3. take snapshot of the disk of the virtual machine ec1 using lvmcreate -s 4. restore ec1StateBack using ecv1Snapshot Unfortunately Xen hangs after second step. Is it possible to save a paused virtual machine? Am I missing something or this just something I have ot fix on the system configuration? cc

Hi, I''ve tried to do "xm save" on my Windows XP guest, which runs by ioemu. When I did this, #xm save 6 /xenimages/snapshot1 Error: /usr/lib/xen/bin/xc_save 10 19 6 0 0 0 failed xend.log: [2006-10-06 16:34:22 xend] DEBUG (XendCheckpoint:80) [xc_save]: /usr/lib/xen/bin/xc_save 10 19 6 0 0 0 [2006-10-06 16:34:23 xend] ERROR (XendCheckpoint:227) Couldn''t map

Hi, the problem is as follows:(And then, others can't login mostly because of the os' busing and you can't do anything else.) [**@xentest ::三 12月 21::~]$ sudo xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 1748 2 r----- 29396.3 xp-101 1 256
