Hi Everyone, I upgraded my CentOS 5.5 to Xen 3.4.2 using this guide: http://www.syntaxtechnology.com/2010/01/upgrade-xen-3-0-on-centos-5-4-x86_64-to-xen-3-4-2/ Now, using the new kernel that it gave me, the system doesn''t seem to be able to detect vt-x.. In virt-manager, Local Install Media and Network Boot are greyed out.. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Everyone, My Xen host has 2 X 1TB hard drives in a RAID1 setup. If one DomU starts to dd a 5GB file (A ran it in a loop as a test), access ssh on the other DomU becomes very slow. Is this normal?

Hi Everyone, When you want to use ionice to limit the amount of disk a DomU has, due to have to run ionice on every blkback process? Incidently, what is the format of the blkback process? I see the following in ps aux: blkback.xx.xvda blkback.xx.xvda1 blkback.xx.xvd where xx appears to be the domain ID. I''m curious as to the last few letters mean? Thanks

Hi Everyone, I have a Dell R210 server which has a Xeon X3430 Quad Core CPU (2.4Ghz x 4) with 8GB of RAM. I intend to use the H200 controller in a RAID1 setup How many VMs do you think I''d be able to run on this machine? Is 20 pushing it? I''d say most (if not all) guests would be in PV mode. Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hi Everyone, This is going to sound silly but... I''m just off the phone with a Microsoft SPLA reseller. They sell licenses to run Microsoft software in a hosted environment. I was asking about obtaining Windows licenses to run on my Xen VPS hosting solution. Maybe there is a big misunderstanding, but I''m faily sure she said that it was illegial for me to rent out Xen

My future plan currently looks like this for my VPS hosting solution, so any feedback would be appreciated: Each Node: Dell R210 Intel X3430 Quad Core 8GB RAM Intel PT 1Gbps Server Dual Port NIC using linux "bonding" Small pair of HDDs for OS (Probably in RAID1) Each node will run about 10 - 15 customer guests Storage Server: Some Intel Quad Core Chip 2GB RAM (Maybe more?)

Hi all, In threads posted by I believe Jonathan Tripley I promised to post my new XEN HA setup. Hope it can be of some use to some people. In this particular case I''m forced to use SLES 10SP3 with XEN 3.2, which excludes the possibility of using things like cLVM (which I don''t think I need anyway). So: Storage: I use two HP ML370 G5 machines with DRBD and heartbeat on

Hi Everyone, I am going to get a storage server which will be connected to my Xen hosts via iSCSI/Ethernet. I wish to use LVM for the DomU disks. The storage server will have a RAID10 array, and 2 Xen hosts will connect to this (Each will have a 50% share of the RAID10 array, space wise). What is the best way to go about this? Should I: a) Split the RAID10 array into 2 partition on the

All, has anyone any experience in using Wifi smartphones as SIP clients? Does this work properly? What models/brands are optimal for this (in terms of ease of use, battery life etc)? Thx!! B.

Hi, I would like to log whatever happens with rsync on client side when it runs with Cygwin on NT4. First, I just did a redirect of the screen output to a log-file: rsync -rtv --delete --modify-window=2 --stats /cygdrive/g/users/bco/test/ bee2bs01::d/test/ >>c:\rsync\log\%FDATE%.log The problem with this method is that it does not redirect whatever Rsync reports as errors; because they

Bonjour, J''aimerai mettre en place un cluster sous Xen ou XenServer avec 2 serveurs dell R 710. J''aimerai pouvoir monter un cluster en utilisant l''espace disque entiere des 2 serveurs cumulés ainsi que la mémoire Quelles sont vos retour d''expériences et vos configurations? Merci d''avance Cordialement Mat

Hi, referring to thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/users/177385#177385. I have the same thing going on: hypervisors with E5620 Xeon CPUs and hypervisors with E5410 CPUs. Live migrations go wrong when domU''s are not created on the latter and move from the E5410 servers to more recent ones. The rationale being that these CPU''s have less or other capabilities

To anybody who can help me I want to acess the VM(Virtual manchine ) in IE brower, the URL is http://localhost:5831 。31 is the vnc display of the VM. I failed to acess the VM , but I can acess the dom0 in the IE brower. How could I acess the VM domU in the IE brower ？ Could the VM be acessed through IE Brower?

Dear All, We are preparing amount 400 servers to deploy a large scale XEN cluster; I am looking for the best solution for that, these are some things I need to resolve: 1) 400 servers use raid-1, each server will have more than 100GB free disk space, I want to combine all of these for the cluster''s storage, so, it need to install the distribute file system; 2) How to

Hi, I want to combine all the above mentioned technologies. The Linbit pages warn not to use the drbd: VBD with HVM DomUs. This page however: http://publications.jbfavre.org/virtualisation/cluster-xen-corosync-pacemaker-drbd-ocfs2.en (thank you Jean), simply puts two DRBD devices in dual primary mode and starts Xen DomUs while pointing to the DRBD devices with phy: in the DomU config files.

Hi all, could you please point me to performance testing tools for Windows guests, mainly to see what their performance is for local storage. thx! B. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi all, could somebody point me to what is considered a sound way to offer Xen guests on a two node DRBD cluster in combination with Pacemaker? I prefer block devices over images for the DomU''s. I understand that for live migration DRBD 8.3 is needed, but I''m not sure as to what kind of resource agents/technologies are advised (LVM,cLVM, ...) and what kind of DRBD config

I have a rsync server set up on a win2k server and a win xp pro computer is my client. It's working very well doing the anonymous transfers. However, I've tried setting up a password file and not having any success. rsyncd.conf on my server: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * [serverbu] auth users = user path = c:/serverbu read only = no list = no secrets file =

Hi Everyone, Does anybody have any experience using pfSense on Xen? I would most probably have to use HVM... My idea would be to use PCI-Passthrough to the pfsense DomU, and only make the Dom0 accessable via the pfsense firewall Thanks Jonathan _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, We use rsync on NT (server and client) and we get errors on filenames with a path that has in total more than 256 characters. This seems to be caused by a limit in rsync, not in NT. Is there a way to break this limit withuo having to manually shorten all this filenames? Thx already!
