similar to: Domid for just created domain?

I saw the presentation "Virtualization of Linux Servers" at OLS last month and it had some nice comparisons of Xen performance vs a lot of other virtualization/container technologies: http://ols.fedoraproject.org/OLS/Reprints-2008/camargos-reprint.pdf As always with benchmarks, there are questions to ask and points to quibble, but overall Xen looks quite good... except on Dbench. Has

Due to recent changes in timer handling (specifically building hpet emulation on top of Xen system time and ensuring it is monotonic), I wonder if it now makes sense to: 1) change hvm default for hpet to 1 (was 0) 2) change hvm timer_mode default from 0 to 2 I encouraged adding the hvm hpet parameter and defaulting it to 0 because the virtual hpet was not reliable and many guests/versions

Hi friends, I''m developing an architecture using xenbus/xenstore that use DomID to read/write informations over a shared memory with dom0. But always that i restart my DomUs the DomID is increased. I''d like to use always the same DomID for the VMs. Any option? Thanks -- Luciano Barreto _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

This patch series adds support for network buffering in the Remus codebase in libxl. Changes in V3: [1/5] Fix redundant checks in configure scripts (based on Ian Campbell''s suggestions) [2/5] Introduce locking in the script, during IFB setup. Add xenstore paths used by netbuf scripts to xenstore-paths.markdown [3/5] Hotplug scripts setup/teardown invocations are now

1. Shouldn''t the GPLPV drivers take care of the (bad) clock drift I''m experiencing in my Windows XP HVM? Or is there some other way around this problem that I haven''t been able to find on Google? How can I tell if the GPLPV drivers are active? I''ve added the /gplpv switch to the boot.ini file and the virtual NIC is definitely using the GPLPV version but other

This patch series introduces the tapback daemon, the user space daemon that acts as a device''s back-end, essentially most of blkback in user space. The daemon is responsible for coordinating the front-end and tapdisk. It creates tapdisk process as needed, instructs them to connect to/disconnect from the shared ring, and manages the state of the back-end. The shared ring between the

Changes from v3: - mini-os configuration files moved into stubdom/ - mini-os extra console support now a config option - Fewer #ifdefs - grant table setup uses hypercall bounce - Xenstore stub domain syslog support re-enabled Changes from v2: - configuration support added to mini-os build system - add mini-os support for conditionally compiling frontends, xenbus -

Hmmm... It appears I never posted the corrected version of this patch so it never made it upstream. See: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg00587.html http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg02145.html It would be good if this very minor fix was also applied to 4.2 (and, if possible, 4.1).

Hi All I have downloaded the opensource xapi source code. I am not sure what the functins of the follow modules: 1 block_device_io 2 datamodel 3 xiu (I am puzzled by the name "xiu") 4 stats 5 rpc-light 6 rss 7 xb (I think the xapi needs not to talk to xenbus directly) 8 xsrpc (why it writes some "rpc" keys to path of "domain/<domid>" in the

Hi, Anybody (Christian?) could please tell me if we can get the support for registering watch with /proc/xen/xenbus? (..OK, I know that we will change it this /proc stuff to a device soon) So far we can only do read/write/rm. I really miss the xen watch feature.

Hi all, this is a non comprehensive list of missing features in libxenlight and\or xl: - xen_platform_pci flag support in VM config files; - relative paths support in VM config files; - hap support in VM config files; - -c option to xl create; - remus; - trigger command; - tmem-* commands; - sched-* commands; - usb-* commands; - scsi-* commands.

Grant references for the xenstore and xenconsole shared pages exist, but currently only xenstore uses these references. Change the xenconsole daemon to prefer using the grant reference over map_foreign_range when mapping the shared console ring. This allows xenconsoled to be run in a domain other than dom0 if set up correctly - for libxl, the xenstore path /tool/xenconsoled/domid specifies the

Hey Ian and Stefano, Please see this thread: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-05/msg01053.html for the debug patches and some of the discussion. These three patches fix an race that has been in QEMU traditional for a long time. The guts of the bug is that if you have a guest with these options: vcpus=1 maxvcpus=32 and do ''xl vcpu-set <guest> 32'' the

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. The vast majority of the code is in second patch. The first patch merely changes the xenstore key name used by hvmloader to store the buffer address.

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. The first patch modifies creation of the hvmloader key in xenstore and adds creation of a new read/write hvmloader/generation-id-addr key. The second patch changes hvmloader to use the new key (as

hi, it would be extremely useful for me if someone with knowledge of how the current tools and drivers use Xenstore would be kind enough to update the Wiki with current information. I have been spending quite a lot of time trying to get my domU connected to a block device in dom0 using a home-brewed domain creation tool, and I am still at the ''Timeout connecting to device!''

Hey, I''ve been trying to get the gplpv drivers working with Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on both a stock CentOS 5.8 install and CentOS 5.8 w/ Xen 4.1.2 from the gitco repos. I''m getting a BSOD shortly after boot up and it can be seen at http://techmonkeys.org/xen/ -- along with the qemu log. Has anyone had success with these drivers and Windows 2008 R2 64-bit? If so, what am I

This patch exposes a generic interface which can be expanded in the future to implement USB for PVUSB, qemu, and stubdoms. It can also be extended to include other types of USB other than host USB (for example, tablets, mice, or keyboards). For each device removed or added, one of two protocols is available: * PVUSB * qemu (DEVICEMODEL) The caller can additionally specify "AUTO", in
