Hello! I installed NexentaOS (Opensolaris kernel b104+). First booting system is true. Before first rebooting system updates boot_archive. It''s false. Computer is freeze and CapsLock and ScrollLock is blinking. Helps only RESET button. My system is Ubuntu 8.10, kernel-2.6.30-rc3-tip, Xen-3.4-Stable with debug options enabled. My hardware: AMD Athlon64X2 5400+, RAM 4GB. For DomU: mem=1024,

Hi I had installed Xen-3.0.4 in Scientific linux 4 (kernel version 2.6.16.33) by following the instructions given in following link project-xen.web.cern.ch/project-xen/xen/howto_slcXen.html I ve created the guest Domain with fedora image of size 2.2GB , disk space as 10GB and the domain started successfully . when i logged into the xm console and checked the disk space its showing only 2.2GB ..

Thanks for all the help... XVP seems quite high on requirements. Like it needs an SMTP server set up. I''m not sure I like that. I found a tool called BixData, it''s proprietary but with a free license for a limited number of managed servers. Being a fully fledged cloud management system, it''s true overkill for me and my 3-4 virtual machines, but at least it seems quite

How do I mount a partition that is in an image file? I have a file called centos.img that has 3 partitions in the file. I need to copy data to the third partition on that image file. I have seen things about a loop back device (which is fine) but then it talked about an offset parameter and I dont know what that is or more importantly what number to use. I hope I'm on the right track. How

Hi all. I''ve got a domU that exists in a sparse file image, I''d like to now use this on a physical partition (loopback performance issues). Is there an a easy way to do this ?

Hi guys. DomU config disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-base,sda1,w'', ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-swap,sda2,w'', ] ----------------------- mkswap /dev/xen00/debian5-swap But in domU in booting: Activating swap...failed. What wrong? -- Best Regards, alex.faq8@gmail.com

Hi Rob, I'm not sure you will get much pleasure out of VirtualBox on that hardware. It sits completely on top of the OS and it will grab most of the resources, even hogging from the OS. And it will run very hot. The Xen hypervisor (incl. XenServer, XCP-NG) is very resource efficient and with Linux guests (PV or PVHVM), it will run very smoothly. The same applies to KVM. My FX-6300 box

Hi everyone! I''ve been reading this list for a while and I''m thinking that the best way to do backups is using LVM snapshots as discussed here several times. The problem is that when i use a LVM logical volume as windows disk, windows writes the partition table onto the LV so the LV itself is not a partition - it''s a whole disk. lvm/device-mapper does not create the

This may not be the best forum to ask, but it does seem to be one where it is as likely as anywhere that someone will have dealt with a similar problem. I need to define a procedure for last resort disaster recovery from an incremental file level backup of the root partition (and any others that are critical.) Now it is easy enough to create a raw virtual disk with dd, then to losetup and do a

Is there a way to convert a Virtual PC vhd file to a raw img file for Xen without using XenServer ? I found a v2v utility from Starwind that converts to an .img format, but I don''t know if it is the same as the format that Xen uses. I ran the conversion and tried it under Xen, but could not get the console to come up, and had to destroy the domu to get that domain to shut down. I expect

In the next month or two I've got to upgrade a number of servers that are currently on an EOL'd version of 4-STABLE. I foresee that I'll have very limited time to do full OS upgrades on these systems in the coming several years, so I want to make sure I bring them onto an extended-life branch. Right now 4.11 has the furthest projected EOL date (Jan 31 2007), and the projected EOL

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

Hi, I am running xen-unstable , now i have a Full Virt DomU running RHEL 3 update 5 wanted to know is there a way to convert this vm to Paravirt . regards Satya _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello list, Currently, i use a partition image to run my XenU (/dev/hda2) and "fdisk -l" return nothing and can''t open /dev/hda . I want to use a full hard drive image (not partition image) from my Xen0 as hda in my XenU. I want to be able to run fdisk on hda in my XenU to list and regenerate partitions. I tried with this (/img is my hard drive image): disk =

Running a CentOS 4 server and have a few different Linux machines at home. One desktop is FC 3 and one is FC 4 and I have an old laptop running FC 1 (but I can update - just don't want to necessarily bother). I am running LDAP and have 'included' redhat/autofs.schema in the setup but have been too chicken to try to implement because I just have a bad feeling about this... If I

I''m a complete newbie at Xen, just getting started. I was happy to see that Ubuntu 11.10 includes Xen again, http://zulcss.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/xen-4-1-1-on-ubuntu/ So I installed ubuntu 11.10''s precompiled Xen, and started playing around with it. I''m not even trying to start another VM at the moment, just playing around with mounting block devices, and had trouble

Hi, I wanted to create a new btrfs fs for my backups. When trying to mkfs.btrfs for that device, I''m getting "error checking /dev/loop2 mount status" With strace I see where the problem is: lstat("/dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSA2M160G2GC_CVPO939201JX160AGN-par", 0x7fffa30b3cf0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The problem is there is something missing
