After hours of googling and not really finding a definitive solution to my problem, I''m a little stuck and would really appreciate some help from others. I have a CentOS 5.4 x86-64 server running Xen 3.3 from the gitco repos as dom0. On this I have created two logical volumes comprising 8GB for the system disk (xvda) and 1.5GB for swap (xvdb). I ran mkfs.ext3 and mkswap on these to

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

Hello, I''m not able to mount a HPFS/NTFS domU partition. My system: dom0 is on a debian (Lenny) machine, using xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 Xen Hypervisor. domU is a Windows XP machine, that works well. My target is to mount file system domU machine (when domU is not active). In my domU configuration file I have: disk = [''phy:/dev/virtual_machines/xp_disk,hda,w'',

Good day, Gparted is not available on my installation. Which patition tool is available in centos 5.5 please. Thanks Johan

I am fairly new to ISCSI and SAN technology but having recently invested in the technology I am trying to find out exactly what can and can not be manipulated, filesystem wise, without requiring a reboot. I am using the inbuilt software ISCSI initiator and multipathing in CentOS 5.1. My steps so far. Create 10GB volume on SAN # iscsiadm -m session -R # fdisk /dev/mapper/mpath0 # kpartx -a

I''ve been trying to migrate a win nt 4 machine to a xen domu for the past few months with no success. However, on my current attempt, the original hardware no longer boots, so I''m trying to resolve the issues with xen properly, or else take a long holiday... Anyway, the physical machine had a 9G drive (OS drive), a 147 G drive (not in use) and a 300G drive (all SCSI Ultra320 on

Hello, Maybe someone can help me.... I have a guest XEN image that ran well until today. I use an LVM partition to host the guest and today on Dom0 I added another LVM to be available to this domU. This were all the commands I issued : On hypervisor lvcreate -n lintra02data -L 30G rootvg vi /etc/xen/lintra02 and add volume to file like this : disk = [

domUloader potentially makes my life a lot easier, but from experiments and looking at the code, it doesn''t seem like there is any way to pass kernel command line arguments with it. Am I just missing something? Thanks, John Byrne _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I have a Windows 2000 domU running in an LVM partition. I need to move it to another host, but none of my other xen servers have lvm or free space to create an lvm. So I''d like to convert it to a sparse img file. The file system in the domU is ntfs. Can anyone suggest how to do this?

Just wanted to share some success I had moving some Xen guests from one server to another. Problem Recap We had Xen host on a single core 32-bit CentOS 5.4 installation on an AMD Athlon 2.1 GhZ system that was giving hard drive errors and needed to move the LVM-backed Xen images to another server. The replacement server was a quad-core AMD Phenom system running 64-bit CentOS 5.4. Our original

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

the closest i have gotten to a consistent way to test a MS-DOS filesystem setup is: dd if=/dev/zero of=binary.img bs=1M count=500 i="$(losetup -f --show binary.img )" parted binary.img mklabel msdos -s -m dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of="${i}" parted binary.img mkpart primary -a optimal -s -m 0% 100% parted binary.img set 1 boot on mkfs.ext4 $(kpartx -savu "${i}"

Hey folks, I've been getting requests from the users that they want the OCFS2 filesystems aligned to 64k boundaries, however, when I began the project, the dummy of me, created the OCFS2 filesystem on top of the whole disk device (no partition) for example, one of the SAN devices would show up as /dev/dm-10, I created the filesystem using the following command: mkfs.ocfs2 -L SOMELABEL

Ok guys I am wondering if anyone can help me out here. I am trying to mount a xen .img file. when I try to do a mount -o loop /xen/guest.img /mnt/tmp I get a message saying that I need to specify a partition type.. What am I missing?

The following patches introduce support for multipath and cciss devices to the ovirt-node and node-image. Comments are appreciated. These patches assume that the 3 patches (2 node, 1 node-image) from Joey are all incorporated. Mike

centos 6 failed to create entries under /dev for newly created loopback devices. Any one know why? and how to fix/workaround it?

Hello, I''m running XEN 3.0.3 on RHEL5 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen. I used to start the vm with "xm create myvm -c". I see the boot during a couple of second, then, it freeze.
