similar to: Ballooning on SLES11SP1

I have several systems running 64bit SLES11SP1. I''m trying to Live Migrate between a couple of them and it''s not working, although the same VM will run on each one starting it manually. The system are not identical. Would one expect migration to work between these two systems? See below. Thanks, James The first system is a ProLiant DL360 G6: Proc 1:2533 MHz Execution

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

Wondering if I can get some opinions on dom0 CPU pinning and xm weighting. We have several xen servers on SLES11SP1 and up to this point we have never done anything with pinning CPU''s to dom0. We''re trying to decide if we should be doing that. Same goes for xm weighting (if I''m saying that correctly). For example, running the following command when a xen server

I''m running xen on SLES10SP2. It''s been much more stable than SP1, but I still occasionally have issues. For example, one of my servers (8 CPU/32GB RAM) has five sles pv domUs and five fully virtualized windows 2k3 domUs. It had been up for almost 60 days. Yesterday afternoon one of the sles domU''s stopped responding. I went to check on it and I couldn''t using

I have a sles10 domU running on a sles11 dom0. xen is version 3.4. We''re trying to pass through a scsi card to the domU. We assign the domU the scsi card through virt manager. When we try to boot the domU it won''t boot. We need to update fstab and menu.lst, but we need to boot with the hardware attached to see how it''s being seen by the domU. On a physical machine we

I have xen 3.04 running on SLES10SP1. It''s working great, but I''m wondering if I have some memory issues with dom0. I have 7 domU''s, 1 is win2k, the other 6 are win2k3. I''ve had a lot of machines up and down with a reboot of dom0 in quite a while. I''m wondering if dom0 has not given up memory during the process. I added 5 win2k3 domU''s today.

So yesterday I got was able to get a domU successfully using a PCI SCSI card. This morning I restarted the host server. When I try to start up the same domU I get this error: Error: pci: improper device assignment specified: pci: 0000:0e:04.0 must be co-assigned to the same guest with 0000:0e:04.0, but it is not owned by pciback. How do I make this card owned by pciback on reboot. Do I need to

We currently run xen on sles11sp1 and sles11sp2. Our hardware is HP Compaq DL360''s. We originally started with G6''s, but now we''ve grown and have G7''s and G8''s in the mix. We don''t do a lot of live migrations but is convenient to be able to at times. Is there any type of cpu leveling that can be done so live migrations will work with servers

I built a couple new servers on SLES11 because I needed to use USB. Since SLES11 has xen 3.4 packages that seemed like the way to go. I''m questioning the stability of the two new servers compared to my SLES10SP2 servers. I''m also questioning the performance of Windows domUs. On Thanksgiving day one of my SLES11 servers running 7-8 domUs crashed and restarted three times. Being

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.

I had an issue late yesterday where some windows domU''s were down. The person who "owns" those domUs let windows updates install and then restart, which they failed to restart. When I tried to manually restart them I was getting can''t allocate memory errors. In the past I''ve had can''t allocate memory errors when trying to bring up a new domU.

I have a sles10sp3 vm that I''m trying to passthrough a scsi card, which has a DLT tape drive attached. Anyone doing anything similar? When I passthrough the scsi card (forced to do both ports), the vm dies when it loads, I think during udev. I''m viewing the vm through virt-manager, so I can''t scroll up and see what everything says. Is there a way to get the text xm

Hello I am new in XEN and Linux. I am trying the VGA passthru. I can xen-pciback.hide EtherNet, Serial Com port. But when I xen-pciback.hide my VGA. I can no longer login to the Linux(Fedora 12). Then how can I xm create a XP DomU guest? Can anyone help? I am using Intel Q35 MB with Intel Core2 CPU. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hello, I have some dom0 which have 8GB RAM, but when I look with xm list, it just shows me 6GB, I need to setup some new VM, each with 1GB, so I should have with 3VM still 5GB free, but im only seeing 3GB. Can I just create 2 new VM with each 1GB and still have 3GB for the dom0? #xm top xentop - 11:31:17 Xen 3.1.0-53.1.14.el5 4 domains: 1 running, 3 blocked, 0 paused, 0 crashed, 0 dying, 0

Hello, In our office we would like to do something like "memory overcommitment" or rather "dynamic allocation" for a bunch of windows domUs (server 2003 & 2008). We thought this should be a simple feature, however we did not find any fitting solution. We use Xen 4.2.1 with xl toolstack. The idea is to use ballooning to dynamically (and automatically) change physical

I'm not sure why this started, but apparently I'm having a DNS problem. Yesterday mail started bouncing with this error: 450 Unable to find obrien-pifer.com I think the messages eventually get delivered, but not sure. I guess I'll see if this one makes the list. I checked my domain using http://www.checkdns.net/ and it gives me a couple warnings. One is that there's no MX

Hi, during some experiments with many guests I get crashing Dom0s because of too less memory. Actually the OOM killer goes ''round and kills random things, preferably qemu-dm''s ;-) The box in question has 128GB of memory, I start with dom0_mem=8192M (or 16384M, doesn''t matter). I also used "dom0_mem=8192M,min:1536M", but that didn''t make any

Hi all, I'm having issue with my Centos 5.1 /Xen installation. I'm having some dom0 running 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen (x86_64). On the dom0 where the load is high (more than 70% of total system memory consumed by dom0 and domU) we have a lot of "memory squeeze ". The result is that the domU seems to be blocked (no network/no disk acces/ etc....). Looking for a solution in xen
