Hi James, I tested (as I wrote a few days ago) the latest PV drivers release, and they seem to work correctly apart of the "Safely remove Xen Net Device Driver" tray icon glitch. I made a series of benchmarks with PassMark''s PerformanceTest on 6 twin concurrent VMs with the PV drivers installed, both with the /GPLPV switch on and off, and on one lonely VM, still in both

I found this in the large and growing list of downloadable vmware appliances: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/316. I haven't run it yet, but it claims to provide a way to mirror running windows boxes over iscsi to vmware disk images, then allows you to boot that image under vmware as a replacement for the server with little downtime. Has anyone attempted something like this

I want to create a virtual machine from scratch in ESX but I can't figure out how to create the disks - the vmdk files. Any hints on how that can be done or even if it's possible at all ? Thanks

Hello, I'm using CentOS 5.5 / 16bit as a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation and have installed the "VMWare Tools" by running vmware-install.pl and vmware-config-tools.pl but can't figure out how to make the VM shutdown, when I shutdown the Windows PC hosting it. Does anybody please have any hints or scripts? Do I need to use any VMWare modules if I just want to shutdown the

Hello, This small series deals with some weirdness in the mechanism with which the credit scheduler choses what PCPU to tickle upon a VCPU wake-up. Details are available in the changelog of the first patch. The new approach has been extensively benchmarked and proved itself either beneficial or harmless. That means it does not introduce any significant amount of overhead and/or performances

I''m trying to install XenEnterprise with raid 1 for its OS drives but the installer doesn''t seem to have this ability. Is there some way to install it in raid 1? The reason I need this is in case the OS drive fails, the whole system doesn''t go down.

All, I installed Vista on Xen yesterday, but it no longer shows up on my Admin console. Disk space still shows 30G used by it. Also, how do I eject CDROM while Xen is running :) Thanks, Andrey _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi list, Once more a cry for help. It seems no-one is able to help here. Our virtual machine has crashed, and I simply haven''t got a clue how to repair this. Now many documents are store on this machine, so I would like to have it back VERY urgently. Anyone????? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, Our group would really like to use XenSource to run a very large number of parallel Windows XP VMs, but there are several issues we need to overcome or else we''ll have to use ESX instead. This is pretty high priority so if there is a high-level tech at XenSource who knows how to solve this, we would be really grateful. (1) We want to start-up using a post-boot save of Windows XP

Hi, we are planning to change hardware for our standalone Dovecot instance handling ~5800 IMAP users with 1TB mailboxes on local RAID. Is there some recommendation about CPU? We can choose from: - Intel Xeon E5-2620v4 - 2,1GHz at 8,0GT 20MB cache, 8core, HT, 85W, LGA2011 - Intel Xeon E5-2623v4 - 2,6GHz at 8,0GT 10MB cache, 4core, HT, 85W, LGA2011 The difference is about more cores vs. hi

Hi, We''ve been using xen with pc clones for some time now. But now the boss wants to get serious and start using real servers. We''ve been looking at HP. I got in touch with a couple of distributors for prices and much to my suprise, I''ve been told by one HP Partner that Xen does not run on HP hardware. (a ProLiant ML 150) He continued to tell me that he could offer me

Hello, I am trying to use Xen Enterprise (its free version). Until now I have no problem, but now I want to create a new virtual machine based in debian etch, not debian sarge (the debian version included in xen templates). So I am looking for a way to create my own template, but I haven''t found any documentation about that. Looking the files, I have found that templates are stored in

I'm wondering what others who have already used the Xen kernel for DomUs and the (free) VMWare Server can say about the comparison in actual day-to-day operation. I've only started playing with Xen on CentOS 5 and I've been running VMWare Server only on Win2k3 servers so far, so I'm missing direct comparibility. I find that VMWare is highly reliable and flexible, but needs a
