similar to: PXE issues with Xen

Greetings. I''ve been asked to work on a PXE solution for booting Xen domU''s from a network, and would like some feedback and any help anyone is willing to provide. I''ve been limiting my work to HVM domU''s at the moment, because I don''t think the NBI''s (as far as I know, these are bootloaders) that I have available work in paravirtualized

I found (and fixed) a problem with my realtek onboard 8139 controller. dhcpd server sends filename "pxelinux.0" but realtek requests "pxelinux.0\377" (i.e. the octal character 377 is appended), resulting in a file not found during the tftpd phase. I fixed this by adding a mapping to tftpd: # strip ending garbage from filenames (Realtek PXE bug) r ^([[:graph:]]*)(.+)$ \1

Hi unfortunately VirtualBox does not work yet in a Solaris Dom0: I installed VirtualBox beta and it runs fine on bare metal. Unfortunately the necessary driver does not load automatically in a xVM Dom0. It can be loaded manually but it looks like it does not work in a Dom0: bash-3.2# modinfo | grep vbox # this is a one time task: bash-3.2# cp /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/amd64/vboxdrv

Hello, I''ve recently installed a hvm domU opensuse 11 guest and I cannot set the screen resolution higher then 640x480. This seems very strange to me, because I don''t have any problem to set higher resolution on a windows 7 domU, using the following parameters in the configuration file: stdvga=1 videoram=16 What could the problem be? Is some video driver missing? -- Flavio

I''m going to set up a PVM on xen-3.3.1 debian-amd64. I need advices about the best methods to install a fresh debian on it (i.e. how to choose the kernel for pvm) . I''ve installed xen from sources and only have one xen kernel in /boot which I''m using for dom0; should I use the same kernel for domUs? There is any problem on use vcpus=2; the other vm is an hvm running

Hi Is there any docs, howtos, etc, if i am installed eg. CentOS 5 to as domU as fully virtualized and now i am wanting to use it PV drivers. Any help how migration can be done?

When I try to virt-install a PV instance of F11, I''m getting an ''invalid kernel'' message, as if it''s not a Xen kernel. I have tried both the i386 and x86_64 versions. Is there any weirdness with this distro that I''m not aware of?

Hi, I am trying to run solaris 10 (9/10) on Xen 3.4 (centos5.5 as dom0) in HVM mode. I can see the realtek 8139 network adapters when I do pciscan but ''ifconfig -a'' just lists loopback device. I can load rtls drivers but still these realtek interfaces are not available. I found a link which does say The rtls driver from Realtek still uses version 0 interfaces that are now

I have a hardware here with 9 NICs (8 of them on-board) and I want to set up 8 NICs as real network interfaces, one for each xen domain. The 9th NIC should be Domain-0 which is working well. Currently I have only set up one domain which is running in bridged mode at the moment. I am currently trying to set up a second domain which uses eth2 but I didn''t succeed. I want to get the

hi, i need eth1 for an adsl connection via rp-pppoe (pppd). I was able to hide eth1 in Dom0, but how i use this device in DomU? Do i have to load the 8139too modul, to have eth1 in DomU? cu denny -- Sicherheit verständlich http://www.sides.de GnuPG Key http://pgp.upb.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xAB7D3FE0 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hello, we are using 3.4.3 from Gitco.de on 64bit Centos 5.8 and we have PV guests 64bit. According to described security bug we are in danger. What do you suggest? Wait for gitco update or build xen own with patch? Br Peter

Hello all, Not sure if I am completely missing something but here goes. I have XCP 1.0 running without any issues. I have the mtu set on both the storage network, the corresponding PIF, and the VIF to 9000 and when displayed in ifconfig it shows that this is indeed true. I have several CentOs 5.6 VMs running in HVM mode (i.e. no xen kernel) which attach to the the storage network through these

I would like to track DomU bandwidth usage from Dom0 but my OpenSuse Xen install is not tracking DomU bandwidth correctly. My DomU guests are able to access the network and therefore the networking layer appears to be working correctly. It just doesn''t report the traffic correctly in ifconfig. I am currently running OpenSuse10.3 with Xen 3.1.0_15042-51.3 running a xen kernel

Hi, I've done my fair share of CentOS 7 installations, but this is the first time I have this kind of weird problem. Here goes. In my office I have a battered Dell Optiplex 320 PC with two NICs that I'm using as a bare metal sandbox server for testing purposes. The CentOS 7 installer sees the connected network card as eth0. But after the first reboot, the interface comes up as eth1.

Hi Is it true that the GPLPV drivers is incompatible with QCOW images? The Windows DomU works fine with raw standard "file:/" images, and paravirtualized Linux DomU works fine with QCOW and raw images. If i use QCOW images with my Windows DomU''s i get a stop error: 0x00000007b (inaccessible boot device). It looks like the blkback.3.hda process, that normally starts with

Trey, The Compaq NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter supports PXE: http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/networking/NC7770/ This NIC will be available next month. Also, our strategy is to support PXE on all ProLiant server embedded NICs (10/100/1000) beginning with G2 (generation2) models. Also, most existing DL and all BL servers currently support PXE on their embedded (10/100) NICs. Let

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of
