Hi, I''ve been building up a new HA system, running Xen on DRBD devices. Configuration this applies to: Debian Lenny xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-686 package |**|drbd8-modules-2.6.26-2-686 drbd8-modules-2.6.26-2-xen-686 As I''ve been building the system, I ran into an interesting problem, with two symptoms: 1. running VMs would come back up after a reboot, but would hang on

Hi Folks, Anybody have any recent experience building a small cluster that combines GlusterFS and Xen (with bonus points for a Debian environment)? We''re getting ready to shift from a 2-node Xen/Pacemaker/DRBD environment to a 4-node environment - and I''d really like to be able to create/migrate/failover/delete VMs transparently across all 4 nodes. Seems like Gluster might

Sorry for my ignorance. When I create xen virtual machines on lvm I need to create a filesystem on lvm container? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi Folks, I find myself trying to expand a 2-node high-availability cluster from to a 4-node cluster. I'm running Xen virtualization, and currently using DRBD to mirror data, and pacemaker to failover cleanly. The thing is, I'm trying to add 2 nodes to the cluster, and DRBD doesn't scale. Also, as a function of rackspace limits, and the hardware at hand, I can't separate

Hi All, I plan to use Xen (most probably XCP) to virtualize two servers: one running OpenBSD, the other running FreeBSD. These both servers will be running more or less headless (at least without any graphical environment). I would want to add a third server (most probably a Debian Squeeze or Freebsd) to have a desktop (light, probably IceWM or XFCE). The physical machine will have VTx but

Hey all! I''m currently in the process of trying to debug a (possibly!) Xen-related issue (with Kernel 3.2.9-vanilla as Dom0, and Xen 4.1.2 [almost] vanilla, except for a patch for CVE-2012-0029), where a system freezes without me being able to ascertain a triggering event. The system console is completely unresponsive in the event of hangs (i.e., displays motd and the login prompt,

Hi Folks, I'm trying to install Debian onto a headless server (Supermicro X8SIE-LN4F motherboard). The on-board IPMI BMC redirects the serial port to COM3, and I can talk to it just fine over a remote console connection. I've been trying to install Debian remotely, and have the DHCP and TFTP servers working, and things seem to work (at least into the Splash screen) if I'm using

Please excuse a wee bit of cross posting here. It seems that the questions list may not be the appropriate place for this as I've found a number of unanswered posts involving this topic. My FreeBSD workstations are setup with pam_ldap to a centralized openldap server for authentication. This works perfectly for native FreeBSD applications. What I'm running into an issue with are Linux

I am the system administrator. I have a system that was built with a default install which resulted in everything in a single file system except for /boot wrote some scripts to split out: /home, /usr, /var, /opt, and /tmp to separate file systems/logical volumes it looks like it ought to work, There's plenty of space in all the filesystems and I can log via ssh and have write access in my

I saw something somewhere about AHCI support requiring kernel 2.6.19 or later. But the current CentOS/RHEL stable kernels are 2.6.18 I'm trying to run CentOS/RHEL in a VirtualBox vm, which by default creates sata virtual disks with an AHCI virtual controller. These virtual machines are quite unstable, and I'm wondering if the AHCI virtual controller is the problem. I do have a real

Hi, I'm trying to repair a remote system using the Live CD. I have VPN access to the subnet where it lives. An onsite person is booting from cd, and running a small script I provided to tweak the default firewall rule set to allow incoming ssh, and set a password for the centos user and start sshd so far so good I can remotely access the system. the problem is the live cd environment is

Howdy, I may be approaching this problem entirely wrong, or not. Was hoping for a little guidance one way or the other. I've got this AS/400 with gobs of unused file storage on it that I want to share across as a file server to a FreeBSD box. The AS/400 side of things supports NFS and kinda pretends to be a Unix like machine in this role. Users will be booting from diskless clients

I want to use lastest version of Shorewall in my fresh debian squeeze instalation, so I follow http://www.shorewall.net/Install.htm#Debian but, modify preferences file was not enough for me, I have to modify/add some other files in /etc/apt/ directory: 1.) include testing repo to source.list 2.) add APT::Default-Release "stable"; to apt.conf and pinning all other packages to stable

Do you know if squeeze has xen support? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I am running a Debian Squeeze Xen 4.0.1 Hypervisor and 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 dom0. My xen-tools.conf: lvm = vg00 size = 100Gb # Disk image size. memory = 2048Mb # Memory size swap = 2G # Swap size # noswap = 1 # Don''t use swap at all for the new system. fs = ext4 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image. dist = `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite` # Default

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: important I've a Debian Lenny AMD64 as production server, where it has important HVMs that runs correctly. The problem occurs when i try to create a HVM from a Debian Squeeze AMD64 iso file. At first, the VNC display specified shows perfectly the Debian Installer menu, but when I choose an option (Install or Graphical Install),

Hello, Not sure this is the right place to ask Xen user-questions. I am running Lenny and try to upgrade a domU to Squeeze. After the installation of a new xen-kernel in the domU and upgrading udev I did a reboot but then the kernel does not find the root anymore, and it's dropping me to a shell. When I look into /dev/ I don't see any disks or partions. Is here somebody who can help me

Hi, I''m having issues on intel and amd, when booting it doesn''t assemble the raid devices. It seems to work ok in Lenny but when you upgrade to squeeze it won''t boot. Anyone else with same issue?

I know a lot has changed over the past couple of years, and even monthly, and that Asterisk running within a virtualised environment is very happy indeed. If one would only be using SIP/IAX would Xen/KVM be the best solution ? / or perhaps VServer/LXC maybe advantageous due to binary hashing. Your thoughts would be very welcome. -- Thanks, Phil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Been trying to puzzle through a firewall layout here involving E-Mail. Would have thought this was a more common kind of scenario, but I haven't been able to Google me up an answer to this one. At present I have an SMTP server (Postfix) in my DMZ that is simply re-routing mail into my secure network. This is a less than optimal setup simply due to having to allow traffic from the DMZ
