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''m experimenting with ionice, and I have to say at first impressions I''m very impressed! Does anyone have any idea how I could script the ionice config? I''m using phy for my DomUs so everything appears in ps as blkback.<DOMID>.xvda1 The problem is, is that the process id for the blkback process will change after every DomU restart,

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

Hi Everyone, In Xen, is a DomU able to access data in RAM which a previous DomU has stored in the past, but didn''t "zero" it? I understand that this is a problem with physical disks (using phy:/), just wondering if the same stands with RAM Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi Everyone, In my HVM guest''s config file, I have given my guest 3 interface. I have called them fw1, fw2 and fw3. I have joined each interface to a bridge on the Dom0. This does appear when I do a "brctl show". However, there are 3 other interfaces also added called tapx.0,tapx.1 and tapx.2 (Where x is the domain ID for the guest). Furthermore, I am only able to run

Hi all, I can''t find any good talk about this subject and would like some insights and advices on the cache side in xen. I discovered that a domO power outage can lead to a severe filesystem corruption of the domUs. The domO is a dual disk dell server with a PERC controler in writethrough cache mode, the disk cache is disabled, the scheduler in the domO/domU is NOOP, the domO is holding

Hi Everyone, How does one install Ubuntu 10.04 DomU in PV mode when running Xen 4.0? My Dom0 is also running 10.04. Can I still use the CD? Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

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 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

Dear *, I''m more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied the request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one: #!/bin/sh BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \ virt-install --nographics \ --nonsparse \ --paravirt \ --noreboot \

Hi Everyone, In order to prevent DomU from entering promiscuous mode, is it just a matter of adding these 2 rules when the vif is created? # Accept packets leaving the bridge going to the domU only if # the destination IP for that packet matches an authorized IPv4 # address for that domU. iptables -A FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-out vif1.0 \ --destination 216.146.46.43 -j ACCEPT

If a DomU was compramised, could the Dom0 or other DomUs be compramised? I guess I''m trying to work out how much isolated Xen gives.. Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello, For my xen domUs I''m using a mixture of locah physical partitions (with LVM) and iSCSI disks. For local partitions, I don''t have any problem, because LVM volumes are always the same. But for iSCSI disks, devices are assigned in the order they are connected, so I can''t be sured that device that now is /dev/sdb (for example) will always be /dev/sdb. So, is there

Oh yes you can run XEN on VB.

Hi guys, I''ve seen this post regarding "lvm resize" and this contains all the information I need to resize a disk inside domU : http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-11/msg00019.html >From this post: "With this I can extend the LVs in the Dom0, and either shutdown the DomU and resize2fs from Dom0 or even (tested on test VMs and low-use

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

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | |
