Hello, Xen FAQ states that there''s a limitation of 3 virtual network interfaces per domU: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq#head-9896478cf65a16f43ab4fb066f74c0e0d67a16ac My question is: is there any way (like setting some #define or something in the sources) to rise this limit to 4 or 5? Why is the limit set to 3 actually? I tried to google, but I couldn''t find any

Hi Folks, I need some large chunk of physical memory, so I allocate it early using alloc_bootmem_low_pages and use it later (akin to bigphysarea patch). The trouble I am having is the following. Suppose the virtual address for the memory area is 0xc14d6000. After xen_create_contiguous_region call, I do a virt_to_bus and the bus address comes out to be 0x18000000. So far so good. However,

Dear list, as my Xen3 server is finaly becomming ready for production I was wondering if anyone has written a xen usage monitoring/logging tool? Something like xm top, but with continuose logging to a (rr)database. Or a munin plugin? I can''t remember seeing anything simmilar on the list. BTW: where does xm top get the NETTX(k) and NETRX(k) from? For a munin plugin I''d

Tested on identical hardware (Dell SC1425) with a non-xen kernel, it wroks fine. However under Xen, this is what happens: xen1 ~ # ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: No data available xen1 ~ # mii-tool eth0 SIOCGMIIPHY on ''eth0'' failed: Operation not supported Any ideas?

Hi Folks, To build drivers externally using linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen/util.c, I need the symbols get_vm_area and remove_vm_area exported (they were exported previously - not any more in the latest version).

Hi xen users, I''d like xen0 to be the controller and xenU(1) to be a firewall/router with 4 subnets (WAN, LAN, DMZ, TEAM) each with 1 of 4 physical nics attached to it. Using FC4 with xen-3.0.0-7 with linux kernel 2.6.12.6, default make world configurations, box is athlon cpu, 512M, 4 nics. On boot all nics are recognized, lspci shows them to be present. In xenU there are four ifcfg

Hi Folks, I saw some references to the same problem in mailing list but no solution. I am running a DomU with PHYSDEV access. With fedora core 4, I just changed the inittab file to not start getty''s on tty1-6, and it worked (only ttyS0 is enabled). However, same trick didn''t do it for debian. I can boot into a shell if I put init=/bin/bash on kernel command line. However,

Hi, XEN has a console that works in text mode ("xm console", e.g. via SSH). However with a German keyboard I''m having trouble to get out of the console again. Usually I login to Dom0 from another terminal, and then kill the xenconsole process. However I''d wish there was an easier way to get out. Maybe add a configurable escape key like for SSH? Regards, Ulrich

Hi all, i know that for each virtual machine i can set up a number of vcpu. But if i want to give only a % of the real CPU? For example: how can i set up a virtual domain for using only 20% of the real CPU? is it possible?
