Hi All, We''ve limitation of 500 GB per server as per ServerLoft. we are needing to store word/pdf files. We are planning to use following setup. /dev/sda1 - boot - ext2 /dev/sda2 - swap /dev/sda3 - dom0 - ext3 /dev/sda4 - LVM - one LV for each domU, We''re planning 3 DomUs. /dev/sda5 - FreeNAS. Is that possible? Can it be in one of the LVs under 4th partition? Currently, one

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

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?

Hi all, Has anyone created a Xen cluster to run a hadoop vm cluster? I would be interested in how it performs Thanks Lance -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi All, What is the best way to remotely monitor/administer a group of xen domUs across a network? We''re planning to deploy a few H/W servers with paravirtualized domUs. What are the best alternatives? What works and What doesn''t? Share your experiences.

I wonder if someone can point me in right directions. I have two dell servers I setup iscsi so I have four 2 tb hard drives and i had used lvm to create one big partiton and share it using iscsi. How I go about assigning sections of iscsi for virtual hard drives . should go about assigning Should I export the whole 8TB as one iscsi and then use lvm to create smaller virtual disk. Or should I

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"

Hi Everyone, I am going to get a storage server which will be connected to my Xen hosts via iSCSI/Ethernet. I wish to use LVM for the DomU disks. The storage server will have a RAID10 array, and 2 Xen hosts will connect to this (Each will have a 50% share of the RAID10 array, space wise). What is the best way to go about this? Should I: a) Split the RAID10 array into 2 partition on the

Hi, I''m curious about how you guys deal with big virtualization installations. To this date we only dealt with a small number of VM''s (~10)on not too big hardware (2xquad xeons+16GB ram). As I''m the "storage guy" I find it quite convenient to present to the dom0s one LUN per VM that makes live migration possible but without the cluster file system or cLVM

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

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | |

Hi, i am setting up a cluster of kvm hypervisors managed with libvirt. The storage pool is on iscsi with clvm. To prevent that a vm is started on more than one hypervisor, I want to use a lockmanager with libvirt. I could only find sanlock as lockmanager, but AFSIK sanlock will not work in my setup as I don't have a shared filesystem. I have dlm running for clvm. Are there lockmanager

I need the community''s opinion on the best way to use my storage SAN to host xen images. The SAN itself is running iSCSI and NFS. My goal is to keep all my xen images on the SAN device, and to be able to easily move images from one host to another as needed while minimizing storage requirements and maximizing performance. What I see are my options: 1) Export a directory through NFS.

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

Hi all, Can anyone pleas tell me what would be best practice to use shared storage with virtual machines, especially when it involved high availability / automated failover between 2 XEN servers? i.e. if I setup 2x identical XEN servers, each with say 16GB RAM, 4x 1GB NIC''s, etc. Then I need the xen domU''s to auto failover between the 2 servers if either goes down (hardware

I have a system with a large LVM VG partition. I was wondering if there is a way i could share the partition using nbd and have the nbd-client have access the LVM as if it was local. SYSTEM A: /dev/sda3 is a LVM partition and is assigned to VG volgroup1. I want to share /dev/sda3 via nbd-server SYSTEM B: receives A''s /dev/sda3 as /dev/nbd0. I want to access it as VG volgroup1.
