Excuse me, what did you mean by "certainly wrong: you''re ... to make real physical partition hda1 visible to the domain"? Can we use real physical partition in vbd_list? And what the "cmdline_root" should be? Thanks. Xiaofang > vbd_list = [ (''phy:hda1'',''sda1'',''w''),

This patch to the balloon driver eliminates the need for a user-space program to slosh memory between domains and xen. This uses a proc file at /proc/xen/memory_target. When read it reports memory the domain owns in bytes. Writing a new value to the memory_target proc file will cause the domain to exchange memory with xen to reach the target. A xenolinux domain cannot grow bigger than it was

Using the 2.0.6 demo cd image, I booted the supplied freebsd image and rsync''d the file system to an NFS server. However I don not seem to be able to succesfully boot from it the system just hangs here: xn0: bpf attached xn0: Ethernet address: aa:00:00:61:1c:d4 lo0: bpf I have modified /sbin/start_freebsd.sh and /etc/xen/freebsd.py to generate the following configuration: xendemo:~#

I pulled unstable yesterday and noticed xc_dom_create.py does not have a default value for cpu, so python complains Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xc_dom_create.py", line 408, in ?

Hi All, I''ve been looking through the code and list archives but haven''t found this yet... From dom0, how do you cause a virtual domain to gracefully shutdown? It seems like the machinery is there somewhere, because the hypervisor can do it to dom0... For reference, in UML you do this by putting this in /etc/inittab: ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now ...and then

I know you Xen developers are beginning to hate me ;) but... While trying to compile 2.4.24 under DOM0, quickly after issuing ''make dep'' I got: Kernel panic: Failed mmu update: c015bf80, 4 I suspect this address probably isn''t to helpful but this is all I have. I am currently booted in 2.4.21-SuSE and compiling the 2.4.24 regarding another thread here. Regarding

As promised, here''s what I did to get iSCSI root running under XenU under Debian 3.1 (Sarge): Be running linux 2.6 under XenU. Build XenU with SCSI disk support (I did them as modules) Get linux-iscsi 4.0.1.8 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-iscsi/ Build it according to the instructions there (i found it a bit tricky) and install under your XenU Get iscsi-init 4.0.1 from

Hi, I just had a try using the xeno-unstable. When I used the xc_dom_create.py to create a new domain I got the followings: ============================================== Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xc_dom_create.py", line 332, in ?

I saw this in the openfiler thread, and realised it is another major hole in my knowledge What do you all use for clustering, and does it run out-of-the-box with CentOS? My main areas of interest are : - DB clustering (PostgreSQL) - yeah, we're looking at commercial stuff and skytools - web server clustering - Apache on CentOS - storage clustering thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything

Further to the email below from a few weeks ago, I can announce that Xen/Linux 2.6 handles the TLS problem (-ve accesses into segments) by dynamically rewriting the offending instructions. This is enabled by default in the 2.6 kernels, and reduces the overhead of handling those instructions to almost zero (compared with around 100% overhead when using pure emulation in Xen, when running

Hi, I have a same question posted by punamia , when I am trying to create domain using xen-2.0 built on Fedora 2/ Pentium PC with IDE drive: "Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel". Below is console dump. Any suggestions ? Thanks Console Dump: Linux version 2.6.8.1-xenU (root@localhost.localdomain) (gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux

The VMID field is 8 bits. Rather than allowing only up to 256 VMs per host reboot before things start "acting strange" instead maintain a simple bitmap of used VMIDs and allocate them statically to guests upon creation. This limits us to 256 concurrent VMs which is a reasonable improvement. Eventually we will want a proper scheme to allocate VMIDs on context switch. The existing code

The system is Mandrake-9.1 Linux wih gcc-3.2.2. I am trying to compile xenolinux-2.4.24 (with vanilla sources from ftp.kernel.org for linux-2.4.24). The steps of mkbuildtree ARCH=xeno make menuconfig ARCH=xeno make dep produce no errors, but ARCH=xeno make bzImage results in following error messages. Any pointers will be appreciated. -ishwar --- gcc -D__KERNEL__

I''ve just checked in the beginnings of a unified user manual to be distributed with Xen, in which I''d like to unify as much of the available user-related information as possible. Contributions are strongly encouraged. Even if it''s just some corrections or a few paragraphs on something. Please e-mail the list or contact me directly (mark.williamson@cl.cam.ac.uk).
