similar to: xl - no support for DRBD disks?

I noticed recently that there is no real easy way to get the kernel driver for blktap working in mainline. I''ve pulled down the source from Daniel Stodden''s linux git tree on xensource, but it looks like it''s for debian and I''m running Fedora 14, so I''m trying to sort it out. I run the 3.1.x kernel and don''t want to go back to the 2.6.32 that

Hej folks, I''m messing around with DRBD once again but with a new Xen 4.1.2 installation using the XL toolstack instead of the xend daemon. However, after getting my DRBD installed and a device operational, trying to create a domU using the drbd block device doesn''t want to work: xl create -c test.cfg Parsing config file test.cfg Unknown disk type: drbd My config has: disk

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

Hi Sriram, Once again, thanks for your timely reply.... I tested as your suggesstion and i found that i don''t have any file in the location "/var/lib/xen" [root@globushead xen]# pwd /var/lib/xen [root@globushead xen]# ls -ll total 0 Further i tested the command "xm save " and results as follows Terminal 1: xm save -c TestVM1 TestVM1.chkpt

I have a IBM System x3600 series server with UEFI. I managed to compile the xen EFI (xen-4.2-unstable.efi). The machine is currently running Ubuntu with grub2. I can see a grubx64.efi in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi Where should I put the xen efi ? I tried creating a efi/EFI/xen/xen-4.2-unstable.efi and added it as a boot option using efibootmgr. All I get in that case is a blank screen. I

Hi, The following patch series fixes hangup after creating checkpoint on Xen. The Linux Xen guest can be saved the state to restore later, and also created snapshot like checkpoint via the hypervisor. But, when the snapshot is created for the PV guest, it will hangup. We added ''PMSG_CANCEL'' message and ''cancel'' handler in dev_pm_ops struct in the pm-linux

Hi All, I want to test REMUS over XEN, I would like to know the basic steps to be followed . I have installed xen4.1 on debian and i didn''t find any command related to remus, is there any steps which i have to carry out? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, I am trying to understand and change the network buffering that is being used by Remus, the HA solution present in Xen. From what i understood from reading the code, Remus calls the postsuspend method of the BufferedNIC after it suspends the domain that sends TC_PLUG_CHECKPOINT message and start the buffering and then calls the commit method of BufferedNIC after it gets the acknowledgement

Use PM_FREEZE, PM_THAW and PM_RESTORE power events for suspend/resume/checkpoint functionality, instead of PM_SUSPEND and PM_RESUME. Use of these pm events fixes the Xen Guest hangup when taking checkpoints. When a suspend event is cancelled (while taking checkpoints once/continuously), we use PM_THAW instead of PM_RESUME. PM_RESTORE is used when suspend is not cancelled. See

Hi, I''m doing my master research and I need to adapt remus code. Now... I wanna get the checkpoint size (memory + disk) on each period. Does someone know what function does this? I think some *fd *object''s function in remus code could just get the memory size. Does someone help me? Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

I just did a ./configure and then make on a fresh debian 6.0 64-bit install. ./configure caught most of the missing dependencies except the following, which caused compilation failures. 1. libncurses5-dev (I get errors from tools/misc, concerning gtraceview) 2. bin86 & bcc & iasl - during firmware compilation 3. python-dev (from tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc) I am not sure if I was doing

Hi Ian,  Can you please backport the following Remus related patches: http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/13ec53a59a42 http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/29d81623dc14 http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/b04e57ec4671 http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/62c0dfc9efbf http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/ecff559bf474

Hello, I have been playing around with Remus on Xen 4.0.1, attempting to fail-over for an HVM domU. I''ve run into some problems that I think could be related to tapdisk2 and its interaction with how one sets up Remus disk replication in the domU config file. A few things I''ve noticed: -The tap:remus:backupHostIP:port|aio:imagePath notation does not work for me, although this

Hey, There has been some discussion about EFI and SecureBoot and such. Most of the time I get questions in the form of "How do I get Fedora 17 with Xen to do EFI", I am going to concentrate on Fedora, but I think this applies to other distros too. From my reading (I hadn't actually tried EFI yet), there are two ways to bootup a system: - Using grub2.efi. Grub2 does the EFI API

I noted a possible problem restoring a machine. In xc_domain_restore (xc_domain_restore.c) if it''s not the last checkpoint we set O_NONBLOCK flag (search for fcntl) that we can call pagebuf_get or just load other pages (see following "goto loadpages;" line). Now we could ending up calling xc_tmem_restore/xc_tmem_restore_extra (xc_tmem.c) which call read_extract (xc_private.c)

Just wondering if this is a known bug? Trying to migrate the VM off to a diff dom0 results in the below error. Other VMs migrated off fine (started at around the same time as this vm) and I''ve tried a few different target servers, all resulting in the same thing.

Hi all, Where i want to arrive: 1) having two storage server replicating partition with DRBD 2) exporting via GNBD from the primary server the drbd with GFS2 3) inporting the GNBD on some nodes and mount it with GFS2 Assuming no logical error are done in the last points logic this is the situation: Server 1: LogVol09, DRDB configured as /dev/drbd0 replicated to Server 2. DRBD seems to work

Hi List, is it possible with the virt-manager to choose a drbd device? Example: 9:testsever Connected Primary/Secondary UpToDate/UpToDate C is running on /dev/sda9 but I can´t use it as a drive.
