similar to: Disabling GPLPV on Windows 7

Hi Everyone, I am trying my hands on xen under Solaris SXCE build 113. The machine has the following configuration: 2 Quad Core Xeon CPUs 16 GB RAM Solaris SXCE b113 4 disks - 2 mirrors x 2 stripes under ZFS The problem is that xen HVM is very slow. I am using the following command to create an Ubuntu 9.0.4 test vm. virt-install -n test1 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 -f /vdatapool/data/test1.img -s 50

Hi. I have some new 64bit Windows 2008 R2 domU''s running on SLES11/xen_3.4.2. What is everyone using to get 1gb network performance on win2k8? I''ve used GPLPV on win2k3, but I see you have to sign the drivers yourself for 64bit. Maybe that process isn''t difficult, I only glance at the link from gplpv''s page. What is everyone using? GPLPV is about the only

I''ve just uploaded a couple of .bat files to http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/gplpv_uninstall_bat.zip that will manually (and forcibly) uninstall GPLPV from your computer, which seems to be necessary before doing upgrades from some versions. Run the uninstaller, reboot, then install. There is a 0.9.x and a 0.10.x uninstaller, which differ slightly, but the basic steps performed are:

I have installed the 210 gplpv (debug), when I try to update them with current gplpv I get a BSOD even so when I try to uninstall them. Now I have made a bootentry that specifies NOGPLPV, what gives me a bootable system after such a crash, I found (uninstalling the leftover driver packages after getting bsod during uninstall of the main package) that uninstalling the net driver leads to bsod. Now

Hello, I''m running Windows Server 2003 R2 32 and 64 bit on domU. I''ve installed the latest Open GPLPV drivers from http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/ * gplpv_2003x32_0.11.0.188.msi * gplpv_2003x64_0.11.0.188.msi After domU reboot, I get problems with devices that are not working correctly. The following devices got the (!) sign in the device manager: * Intel(R) 82371SB PCI

Hello, I''m working on building my master 2008 template. I can run "bcdedit /set testsigning on" and the GPLPV drivers work great - nice work James Harper! I''m a bit new to working with Windows images, but it appears the standard thing to is to run "sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown" and then backup the image for later duplication. The problem comes

I''m using W2K2 32bit on a 3.2.1 Lenny-amd64 host. While the pv disk driver works as expected, I encounter problems with the network driver. I tried several installation scenarios, all with the same result. My test looks like this: I install gplpv, but without letting the networking driver install. After reboot I RTL8139 ist still active and working, and gplpv devices manage the disks.

So i successfully upgraded my Debian vm''s to Debian 6 on XCP 1.0, but when i try to install a new clean one it always fails. Why is this? The VM won''t even start, while i used the Debian 6 squeeze template. Is this even possible?

Hello. I have encountered a problem with GPLPV drivers for windows. It is similar (if not the same) as http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-users/2011-02/msg00709.html Host is running 14 virtual machines with Windows XP. When I''m trying to start 15-th windows VM it crashes with code 0x0000007b. Booting to safe mode or with /nogplpv works ok. 15-th VM works fine if

When trying to use the GPL PV drivers with Windows 7 x64 (and testsigning turned on), I get a BSOD with a STOP 0x00000101 error. There''s also an error at the top that says "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval." Is this STOP error related to the HPET or other timing adjustments for Xen? Any advice on things I should

1. Shouldn''t the GPLPV drivers take care of the (bad) clock drift I''m experiencing in my Windows XP HVM? Or is there some other way around this problem that I haven''t been able to find on Google? How can I tell if the GPLPV drivers are active? I''ve added the /gplpv switch to the boot.ini file and the virtual NIC is definitely using the GPLPV version but other

Hi, I just installed gplpv drive for my windows 2003 domU, but not sure if it works right, in my device manager, there is a unknown pci device, do you know what''s that? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, I have a question about the switch /gplpv in boot.ini I see that some of the pv driver code is looking at this option; is there is any other piece of code that looks at this option before the drivers get loaded and perhaps change the bootpath or do something fancy? Thanks in advance, Udas _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi, DomU is a Win2008 R2 64 When i install the GPLPV drivers the network latency goes from 15ms to random numbers up to 1200ms and eventually dies. If you run a ping from the DomU to another host the network stays alive but the high latency is still there. Further more if i try and uninstall the network driver i am unable to use the old one (realtek) as it cannot detect the device.

Hey, Is it possible to covert a .img to a xva? I have a virtual machine on a xen machine that i would like to run in a xen cloud.

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'',

Hello everybody, I was wondering .. is it possible to have a X session running on the top of a domU ? I have installed gnome-environment and tried to startx .. but it doesnt work .. any ideas?
