similar to: AOE (Ata over ethernet) troubles on xen 2.0.6

hello ! i try to use a network technology on one single host, which wasn`t designed for that. to give a short overview of what i`m talking about: AoE is just like a "networked blockdevice" (just like nbd/enbd) - but without tcp/ip. AoE kernel driver is the "client end" (see this like an iSCSI initiator) - and an etherblade storage appliance is the "server end"

Guys, I have setup my hard disc with 3 partitions: 1- 256MB on /boot; 2- 2GB on / for my dom0 (Debian 5.0) (eth0 default bridge for guests LAN); 3- 498GB exported with vblade-persist to my network (eth1 for the AoE protocol). On dom0 hypervisor01: vblade-persist setup 0 0 eth1 /dev/sda3 vblade-persist start all How to create a CVLM VG with /dev/etherd/e0.0 on each of my dom0s? Including the

Hi people... Here we use Xen 4 with Debian Lenny... We''re using kernel 2.6.31.13 pvops... As a storage system, we use AoE devices... So, we installed VM''s on AoE partition... The "NAS" server is a Intel based baremetal with SATA hard disc... However, sometime I feeling that VM''s is so slow... Also, all VM has GPLPV drivers installed... So, I am thing about

Dear all: I''m sorry I crossmail. I try setup aoe-vblade server on netbsd 5.0.2(domU) and I try to do some stress test with for i in {65536}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/etherd/e?.? bs=4K;done on a Linux box Two Xen dom0 configurations I use: 1. 32bits SuSE Enterprise Linux 11sp1 2.6.32.12-0.7-xen with 32bits Xen 4.0.0_21091_04-0.2.6 2. 64bits Gentoo 2.6.32-xen-r1 with 64bits Xen 4.0.0

I ran into an interesting/strange issue today. I still don''t understand what happened, but in know what fixed it. I had a situation where I could only see vblade exported devices from OFF the physical machine. It seemed that if the packets went through two ports of the bridge (instead of one port and the real interface) they got "lost". I sniffed around and failed to

I''ve installed debian lenny amd64, it is frozen now. I''ve install kernel for xen support but it doesn''t start. It says "you need to load kernel first" but I''ve installed all the packages concerning xen, also packages related to the kernel. Perhaps lenny doesn''t support xen anymore? Any solution?

Greetings, Xen developers! I have been using AoE with Xen to great effect and I am very pleased with how the whole system has worked out. The two technologies really complement each other. I consider it the ultimate setup. Aside from the network switch (eventually to be remedied) my serving infrastructure has zero single points of failure. However, this virtualization paradise has a flaw:

Hi, Is there some easy way to install both 2.x and unstable xen tools at the same machine? Seems /usr is hardcoded everythere in the tools Makefiles, looks like there is no easy way to put them to different paths (say, prefix /opt/xen2 and /opt/xen3) :-/ Gerd _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi people. Im new on Xen and I''m looking in how to do a physical migration on Xen. I know that there is a lot of choices (that is the first problem) My environment is simple: 2 physical servers, each one running one instance of XEN. Each host has 2 gigabit cards. One to talk with the world, other to talk between theirselves. I want to run the every vm on the both hosts, if one fail

Hello all, I feel dumb asking this, but does anyone have a link to the SIP firmware for the 7912 on Cisco's site? I have a SmartNet contract, but I just can't find the link (you can search for "7960 sip firmware" and find that fast). Thanks for the help, Jeb Campbell jebc@c4solutions.net

I'm replacing a Merlin for a client and they have a PagePal Intercom that I would like to reuse. Here is what I know about it: It has a screw-down wires that goto rj-11 (This was told to me over the phone) that went into one of the Merlin ports. I tried bring it up with fxo_ks and fxo_ls (assuming it was analog and autoanswered) but no luck. I would be happy to replace if anyone knows of

hi to the list, Hello everyone, I am new in the world of pxe booting and i try to use AOE to boot my linux debian lenny machines. I install the linux like this: parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 17408B 314590207B parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 314590208B 3535815679B parted -s

I am trying to get a proof-of-concept type setup going...I have a storage box and 2 xen servers...I am using file based disk that live on the aoe device...i can run the vm from either host without issue...when I run the live migration, the domain leaves the xm list on host 1 and shows up on host 2 (however there is a pause for pings of about 2 minutes?)...after it is on host 2, I can xm console

Lets say you had 4 servers and you wanted to setup replicate and distribute. What methoid would be better: server sdb1 xen0 brick0 xen1 mirror0 xen2 brick1 xen3 mirror1 replicate block0 - brick0 mirror0 replicate block1 - brick1 mirror1 distribute unify - block0 block1 or server sdb1 sdb2 xen0 brick0 mirror3 xen1 brick1 mirror0 xen2 brick2 mirror1 xen3 brick3 mirror2 replicate block0 -

Hi All, I'm using an X100P to connect to PSTN ( context=from-pstn ). I'm trying to get fax detection to work. Using the simplest dialplan, I cannot get * to detect fax tones: [from-pstn] exten => s,1,Answer exten => fax,1,Goto(ext-fax,999,1) The fax is never detected (ie: Goto never executed) All that I see on the * -vvvvc console is: -- Executing Answer("Zap/1-1",

Hello, We are going to buy some NFS storage for 6-8 VMs on a single host, but want to expand to a second host. What storage recommendations would you give if you have between 2000 and 5000 USD? How about nexenta? what hardware would you use? any vendor? Experiences with openfiler and opennas? Thanks for the responses. Daniel -- +-=====---------------------------+ |

Hi All, Fairly new to Debian and Xen but I have a box running with lots of DomUs under Xen2 and it is fine. I have setup a new IBM eServer P4 and loaded Etch and loaded Xen3. It runs up my first DomU beautifully but when I start my second DomU it crashes the PC and reboots. If I comment out the line in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp (network-script network-bridge) It will run 2 DomUs Have I run

I''ve been brainstorming... I want to create a 2-node HA active/active cluster (In other words I want to run a handful of DomUs on one node and a handful on another). In the event of a failure I want all DomUs to fail over to the other node and start working immediately. I want absolutely no single-points-of-failure. I want to do it with free software and no special hardware. I want

I just tried to setup another domain on a server running 1 domain. When i try to start the domain it gives me an error Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

Hello, I have encountered a crash in dom0 kernel while booting a domU from an AOE device. I haven''t seen such crashes when booting from local partitions/ LVM volumes/ loopback file systems. Also I haven''t seen such crash when I did repetitive I/O to these AOE devices. As the call trace of crash indicates the crash is in xenolinux kernel. Also this crash is predictably
