similar to: Xen 4.0 memory overcommitment

Hello, I am a rather new user to OpenSolaris and I have been loving every minute of it. I have spent quite a lot of time looking around for bandwidth management features and Project Crossbow is just amazing. It is truly amazing compared to what Linux has to offer. I would like to use flowadm to do some bandwidth management on a tun interface. The problem is that it is not recognized by the dladm

Hello, I am experimenting with Snort and other IDS and I would like to use Xen for these tests. This would require me to use port mirroring to sent a bunch of packets to a NIC located on my Xen machine. I don''t really know how Xen networking works, but is it possible to give a domU direct access to a NIC ? Or at least give it enough access so that it can see packets that are not for the

At last year''s Xen North America Summit in Boston, I gave a talk about memory overcommitment in Xen. I showed that the basic mechanisms for moving memory between domains were already present in Xen and that, with a few scripts, it was possible to roughly load-balance memory between domains. During this effort, I discovered that "ballooning" had a lot of weaknesses, even though

Hello, I am doing tests to convert old rotting servers into a big shiny new Xen platform. I have been able to migrate a Windows 2003 server without a scratch. I am trying to do the same thing with Windows 2000 Server but things aren''t so great... I made an image from the disk that worked in a machine. Then I boot on this image using Xen. Windows 2000 starts to boot up then give me a

Hello xen-users ! I am coming for help concerning the just released 4.0 version. Install has worked rather well on my Debian Lenny. I have just had a few bugs for which I have found the answer looking around on this list. I have created a Debian Lenny domU which boots up just fine. The only problem is that I am unable to get a console prompt when using "xm console nameofdomU". I do see

Hi Linux kernel folks and Xen folks -- Effective July 5, I will be resigning from Oracle and "retiring" for a minimum of 12-18 months and probably/hopefully much longer. Between now and July 5, I will be tying up loose ends related to my patches but also using up accrued vacation days. If you have a loose end you''d like to see tied, please let me know ASAP and I will do my

Hello, We have been using samba 4.0.9 with good success so far and are looking to add the ability for users to print from network printers shared by Samba. The printing part works fine using coupling with lp and cups. In order to automate this fully for the users, we would like to enable point and print drivers. The print$ share is accessible with no issues and is configured as below :

Hello, I have been having an annoying problem with a multi-partition domain. This domain has a separate partition for : /, /home, /usr, /var, /tmp and /data. I created it using xen-tools and the custom partitionning scheme option. The partitions are inside a LVM. When I boot the domain, it mounts the / and swap partition but none of the others. Therefore it doesn''t work... I get the

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

Hi, I have noticed that, in the code of linux/drivers/xen/balloon.c, there exists the snippet as this: static int __init balloon_init(void) { unsigned long pfn; struct page *page; if (!xen_pv_domain()) return -ENODEV; ..... } Does it means the driver will not work in HVM? If so, where is the HVN-enabled code for that? 2010-11-16 Rui Chu _______________________________________________

Hello, We have setup a Samba 4.1.0 server that has worked great so far. We have a printer share that is set up so that our users access the printers around the office directly via a central location. It is setup so that the users' computers can get the driver directly from the print server. We use CUPS to manage the printers. It is deployed via GPO. It works great for Windows 7 32-bit and

Any of you guys ever seen an issue with Xen 4.4 were xm cannot create a guest because of what looks like an issue allocating memory even though xm info shows like 5x the amount of free memory needed? We are still unfortunately still using xm... it's on my list, i know.. We've had this happen on a couple hosts now. Only way to resolve seams to be rebooting the host. I'm going to

Hi everyone, I generated my own DomU guest using opensuse''s yast dirinstall and stored it on a seperate iscsi target. I created it as a DomU on my Domain0 (2.6.25.16-0.1-xen kernel) successfully, using the following configuration: name = "vm01-opensuse11-base-LAMP" memory = 256 kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-xen" root =

Hi guys, First of all, sorry for my poor english. This is my first message at this list. I''m using Xen on several machines since last November.

Looking at those dom0 logs I''ve discovered that sometimes linux kernel OOM-Killer
