similar to: SMBIOS level in Xen

All, We are facing some issues bringing up a DomVT on Xen x86_64(changeset 9267). We created a disk image with dd 8 G in size. We then booted an associated Dom-VT with a CD-ROM and did net-install of the sles-9 OS. This completes successfully. Then, when the system is brought around for a reboot (having changed the boot option from cdrom to disk), the system hangs after the line

[HVM] [SMBIOS] Duplicate UUID into serial number in SMBIOS tables. Windows zeroes out the UUID in the SMBIOS tables, but the identifier is often needed by systems management code.

The following patches are a cleaned up version of the HVM SMBIOS patches I submitted last Friday. Differences include (1) SMBIOS is no longer optional for HVM domU''s. (2) The refactoring I did of hvmloader wasn''t really necessary, so I got rid of it. (3) The patches have been tested on changeset 10671:b20580cf7fc1bfe5119597bb5b576cdd020551d5 (4) The versions of strcpy() and

On Unisys 16X 16GB ES7000/one with SLES10 Beta11 updated to xen changeset 9998, attempted to create a 2GB domU and get Error: The privileged domain did not balloon. xm list shows that before the attempt to create the domain, dom0 has 15910 MB memory. After the error, dom0 has dropped down to 13993 MB. Bugzilla number is 650 > Sue Krysan > Linux Systems Group > Unisys Corporation >

We''ve run into an issue with an 8 node x3950 where xm info is showing only 6 nodes. I''ve traced the problem to the clip_to_limit function in arch/x86/e820.c. #ifdef __x86_64__ clip_to_limit((uint64_t)(MACH2PHYS_COMPAT_VIRT_END - __HYPERVISOR_COMPAT_VIRT_START) << 10, "Only the first %u GB of the physical memory map

This series of patches adds support for SMBIOS to HVM domU''s. This is needed by many systems management applications, most often to get a useful UUID inside of an HVM domU. They have been tested on changeset 10486:5610d916ad1be231bd6b6c7ae26665374623a90c of xen-unstable. Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.

For some reason, half of the patches I posted on Friday for HVM SMBIOS support haven''t shown up yet. I''m going to try to post a version of them reworked for changeset 11076:f328519053f5a444af475ec10dc8089a0b176e3f in a few moments, so please ignore the previous posts. Thanks!

The following patchset adds NUMA support to the hypervisor. This includes: - A full SRAT table parser for 32-bit and 64-bit, based on the ACPI NUMA parser from linux 2.6.16.29 with data structures to represent NUMA cpu and memory topology, and NUMA emulation (fake=). - Changes to the Xen page allocator adding a per-node bucket for each zone. Xen will continue to prioritize using the

SMBIOS table pass-through is useful in supporting vendor/OEM specific functionality in HVM guests. There are numerous OEM software packages and drivers that depend on having certain SMBIOS tables surfaced in a guest for their proper functioning. This also includes drivers and software needed for device pass-through. This series of patches introduces support for SMBIOS pass-through in the

Hi guys, Does anybody knows if there is an option to set a binary file for smbios? Currently, I'm doing this approach: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='file=/var/run/libvirt/qemu/smbios_type_1.bin'/> </qemu:commandline> Has libvirt a method as <smbios mode='host'/> ? -- Julio Cesar Faracco

Passthrough support for the SMBIOS structures including three new DMTF defined types and support for OEM defined tables. Passed in SMBIOS types override the default internal values. Default values can be enabled for the new type 22 portable battery using a xenstore flag. All other new DMTF defined and OEM structures will only be added to the SMBIOS table if passthrough values are present.

As the title, any issues about that? thanks, Yibin Shen _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
