similar to: memory and cpu usage

The unstable tree now includes support for SMP guests, i.e. domains which run on multiple cpus. SMP guests can use between 1 and 32 virtual cpus, even if the machine has fewer physical cpus. The code is highly experimental and performance will improve over time. To use SMP guests: - enable option CONFIG_SMP in the Linux 2.6 kernel config - dom0 will boot with upto the number of physical cpus in

Hi, Some questions here : 1. Is there a way to compile kernel 2.6.10 or 2.6.9-mm1 with xen 2.0? I tried both (with mkbuildtree from linux-2.6.9-xen-sparse), and both failed (on different places). My primary goal is to use reiser4 on both xen-0 and xen-U kernel, so I''m more interested in -mm kernel. 2. If I use kernel 2.4.27 (xen-U), top doesn''t show correct cpu usage

Why is figlet source included in xen? Wouldn''t it make more sense to alter xen/Makefile, to have compile.h built from a .in, and the figlet view of the version info, and have the upstream developers regen the figlet part when the version changes? I''m willing to modify the build system to do this. I''m also fixing several other poor implementation of things.

Hi all! I''m using make world as recommeded and it compiles fine, then changed the dpti2o config option to ''y'' and recompiled with ARCH=xen make. The xen0 freeze on reading dpti2o tables and I can''t get any output with sysrq (enabled too). Compiling original 2.6.7 works fine. Any idea?

Well, it''s running about three days with two virtual machines without any problem. Thanks all and congratulations! I notice that xen0 doesn''t have SMP support enabled.

Hi! I''m trying to install XEN on my test machine because running it on cdrom was too slow. Well, that test machine is a dual P4 with hyperthreading, 2GB of RAM and scsi controller dpti2o. I read the Xeno-1.2-HOWTO.txt, and compile xenolinux without problem, but xen appears to not support dpti2o. Am I missing something here? Another question, when the machine is at grub menu, we can

There is no CONFIG_SCSI to enable in xenU. Is there any reason for this? I want to try out iSCSI and obviously it needs scsi support. Or would I be better doing it in dom0 and exporting it? thanks James

hello, I''m running XEN 2.0 on IBM ThinkPad T23. Now the weird thing is that I get two different outputs from /sbin/lspci depending on whether I run 2.6.8.1-xen0 or 2.6.8.1-bproc. In particular the output from 2.6.8.1-xen0 seems to be missing those 4 lines 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82830 830 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 02) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BAM/CAM PCI

I rebooted xenU from console (dom2) and exited (ctr-]). xm list does not report 2 anymore yet I can log into 2 via console and it is running just fine. Is this a bug? I''ll pull/rebuild and see what happens..

Just did a quick scan for that error message in the kernel source. Turns out it''s triggered in net/bridge/br_fdb.c:289. if (!is_valid_ether_addr(addr)) return -EADDRNOTAVAIL; Interestingly enough, it''s claiming that the mac addy isn''t any good! 8-( I''ll go add a printk line to that to see if I can determine what kind of data

All- I''m wondering if there is a guide or a general Getting Started for porting Xen to different architectures. I''m interested in supporting the arm platform. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated... Thanks! Carl - -- "There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those that don''t."

From sf.net/xen I have obtained xen2.0 and brought xen2.0 stable up on FC2. I am trying to find out a way to obtaining a tar file of xen2.0testing, without bk.

Just to error test my own thinking here, there seems to be the following options for remote graphical access to a running domian vm. Besides the normal network service via a port and a raw console, the options are straight X, VNC, and XN. X - supports a single X window running on a local XServer, tied to a single process on the remote system. No remote desktop VNC - comes in two flavors of

Hi folks, I''m trying to use the atropos scheduler with Xen. Couple of questions: - the scheduling param *has* to be specified at boot time right, or does Xen allow changing the scheduling scheme at run time?? - xm help atropos gives a very vague message at best, perhaps we could make it more elaborate: xm atropos DOM SLICE PERIOD LATENCY XTRATIME o is DOM the vm ID or the vm NAME (as

Hi, I have a question, If I start 2 or more guest linux, does the physical memory of code segment and readonly data segment be reused?

Hi, Currently TLS wraparound segments are a problem in Xen, since the kernel needs to be protected by keeping the user space segments out of kernel space. A few weeks ago Roland, Jakub and myself brainstormed about this problem. One of the things that came up is that the positive (glibc private data) and -ve (TLS) data are not generally used at the same time. This lead to one of us (I
