Hi, I''m currently trying xen 4.1.1 with the 3.0.0-rc5 (heard that it now contains the xen code to run as front or back xen domain). Everything seems to run fine, except that I am trying since a few hours to mount a .vhd file in the dom0. What I tried so far: to create a blank vhd file (this is working): host# vhd-util create -n /storage/test.vhd -s 20G Then i try to mount the file

Hi, I''m currently trying to install xapi on debian (unstable), following the following wiki page: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XAPI_on_debian 1. Install squeeze 32-bits (it''s not specified on the wiki, but I guess it wont work with 64-bit as the xapi *.deb files are for 32). note: you must leave an unused 1mb partition somewhere when creating your

Get blktap2 running on pvops. This mainly adds eventfd support to the userland code. Based on some prior cleanup to tapdisk-queue and the server object. We had most of that in XenServer for a while, so I kept it stacked. 1. Clean up IPC and AIO init in tapdisk-server. [I think tapdisk-ipc in blktap2 is basically obsolete. Pending a later patch to remove it?] 2. Split tapdisk-queue into

Hi, I am in the process of upgrading some xen installations from 3.x to 4.1.1 and got into this: box# xl create vm1.cfg warning: Config file looks like it contains Python code. warning: Arbitrary Python is no longer supported. warning: See http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/PythonInXlConfig Failed to parse config file: Invalid argument I''m using python stuff to define vifs and disks

Hello ! Just a quick question about time synchronization between xen dom0 and domUs... We''re running Xen 3.1 64-bit, with 32 and 64 bits linux guests. It''s up since 89 days and the domU''s time is around 5 minutes behind the dom0, which is updated via ntpdate... Any idea why it doesn''t sync the guests even that /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock is 0 ?

Hi, I''m trying to run guest pv vm on my machine running xen-unstable (xen-4.0.0-rc3.pre + linux-2.6-pvops). However, I get blktap error: " sudo xm create -c xmexample Using config file "./xmexample". Error: Failed to create device. stdout: unrecognized child response stderr: Check that target "/home/ashish/xen/hd.img" exists and that blktap2 driver

I''m getting this message (subject line) in daemon.log every time I start or restart xend. I''m not sure if this is related to the fact that I cannot boot up my Windows domU from a VHD file. The Windows domU was working fine with Xen 4.0.0 (with 2.6.32.14 dom0 kernel). When I upgraded to Xen 4.0.1-rc4 (with 2.6.32.16 dom0 kernel), I can no long boot the Windows domU from VHD. The

Hi, When I do the "make install-tools" with xen-4.2-unstable, there are some errors about "warn_unused_result". Is it the error in code or the error in the compiling environment? Thank you so much. gcc -O1 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -m64 -g -fno-strict-aliasing -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement -D__XEN_TOOLS__ -MMD -MF .tapdisk-queue.o.d

Hi, Maybe it''s a dumb question, but I''m actually trying to understand how the memory allocation works within Xen. I try to give 128MB to a domU and see if it increases for example when I "nano" a 500mb file, but the process just get killed when it reachs the 128MB memory limit. How do I configure the guests so they can ask for more memory until a limit is reached

Hello, I have been playing around with Remus on Xen 4.0.1, attempting to fail-over for an HVM domU. I''ve run into some problems that I think could be related to tapdisk2 and its interaction with how one sets up Remus disk replication in the domU config file. A few things I''ve noticed: -The tap:remus:backupHostIP:port|aio:imagePath notation does not work for me, although this

I''m currently working on moving storage services into their own domain and I''ve been looking at blktap2. I''ve been trying to get an image mounted with blktap2 and for some odd reason and tapdisk2 keeps hanging instead of quitting at the end. I haven''t removed any of the storage startup code at this point so everything should be as it normally is in xen-unstable.

Hi, I am running XEN 4.1 on Debian 6 and I cannot find blktapctrl process running. xend is started. I installed XEN from 4.1 source following instructions here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 Should there be a blktapctrl process running in this version?

Hi all, as promised I run some simple benchmarks using tapdisk2 and the new qemu as disk backends. If you are in a hurry skip to the last section to see the test results. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS --------------------- In order to reproduce these results you need to use the new qemu with linux aio and O_DIRECT as disk backend: - apply the libxl patches that Anthony sent to the list a little while

Hi, Currently i''m going through the source codes of tools/blktap2. I need to find-out where blktap2 calls 1. mem_share_nominate() 2. mem_sharing_share_page() functions to do the memory sharing on HVM guests. Can someone please provide me some guidance on blktap2 driver. Thanks, Harshan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list
