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 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 have 4 dom0 with debian lenny running xen. When I run ps axf|grep xvd I see it''s different on diferent dom0s. dom0-A 15677 ? S< 0:00 \_ [blkback.139.xvd] 15678 ? S< 0:38 \_ [blkback.139.xvd] 17015 ? S< 0:00 \_ [blkback.140.xvd] 17016 ? S< 2:34 \_ [blkback.140.xvd] 21309 ? S< 0:00 \_ [blkback.142.xvd] 21310 ?

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 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

Hi Everyone, To convert an HVM install to PV, is it just as simple as creating a new config file, and use the "kernel" and "initrd" parameters to boot from a XEN kernel stored in the Dom0, and use the (ex) HVM''s disk image in the "disk" parameter? Or is there something else I am missing? Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users

My future plan currently looks like this for my VPS hosting solution, so any feedback would be appreciated: Each Node: Dell R210 Intel X3430 Quad Core 8GB RAM Intel PT 1Gbps Server Dual Port NIC using linux "bonding" Small pair of HDDs for OS (Probably in RAID1) Each node will run about 10 - 15 customer guests Storage Server: Some Intel Quad Core Chip 2GB RAM (Maybe more?)

Hi, When I login to a Ubuntu 10.04 virtual machine instance running in Xen through SSH, the console''s lines are clipped at the middle section of my 15.6" screen. I''ll be glad if somebody can suggest a fix. This is turning out to be very annoying.

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 all, I want to use ionice command change the priority of threads of blkback(in domain0) for each corresponding blkfront . However, I do not know how to recognize which is the thread for the corresponding blkfront using ps aux. Anybody can give me some advice? Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context:

With the introduction of indirect segments we can receive requests with a number of segments bigger than the maximum number of allowed iovecs in a bios, so make sure that blkback doesn't try to allocate a bios with more iovecs than BIO_MAX_PAGES Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> ---

Hi Everyone, In the guest image I download from stacklet, a Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 DomU, in /var/log/auth.log, I see: /dev/hvc0: No such file or directory listed a lot of times. I''m not experiencing any problems, however it makes looking through logs for auditing purposes a bit annoying. Any ideas what this is? I think it has something to do with the "Hypervisor Console",

Hi Everyone, I have a Xen host (Xen 3.4.2) which is running CentOS 5.5 Dom0. I wish to install Dell OpenManage to get a nice web interface with hardware status. Do I need to do anything special to get this working on a Xen host? Or does it work out of the box? The reason why I''m asking, instead of trying, is that my server is currently on its way to a colo, and I won''t have

Moving grant ref handles from blkbk to pending_req will allow us to get rid of the shared blkbk structure.
