similar to: Vmware Server 2 and KVM....

I hope this in the right list, but I was wondering if someone could help me with a VM I have that has lately started having problems. It had been running for years without problems. It's possible an update is causing this, but I can't say. The VM is running CentOS 5.8 and after a time, the machine begins to slow down. Things like pings or running commands lag. If I reboot the VM, it runs

Dear group, I am in the process of configuring 2 new servers. They are running Centos 5.5 and for the last three days they have been rebooting unexpectedly, can you point me in the right direction what to look for in the logs. I have been checking /var/log/messages but don't see anything that hint me any clues why this is happening. Your input is much much appreciated. Lisandro PS. These are

After updating to 5.6 on a server this morning, I can no longer boot two virtual machines. One is trixbox which I believe is a 32bit centos based distro, and the other vm is a 64bit Windows 2008 installation. The error I get in the virt-manager console is FATAL: No bootable device. Both VMs are qcow2 format, and I've checked file permissions. I'm going to boot a live cd in the trixbox vm

How does everyone feel about using Quantum LTO 3 and 4 tapes with Bacula for backing up both the VM's, Host, as well as from within the VM's. What are know good backup solutions? Can anyone name specific tape drives / software that is working. Lee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I try to install Slackware 13.1 but fails, process stop on boot process, nothing happen when I press ENTER or F2. I have choose "Generic Kernel 2.6.25 or later with virtio". Please advise how to install Slackware on Xen (CentOS 5.5), or should I choose another version of Slackware? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Maybe what Centos needs is a bridal registry. Here in the US, an engaged couple can tell their friends what they'd like to be given as wedding presents. They do this by listing items in a registry, in various stores around town. Anyway, the idea is, post stuff you need in a list on your site. Say you need 20 hard drives, or a particular power supply, or whatever items that get consumed in

Hello all, I've been on a real roller coaster ride getting a large virtual host up and running. One troublesome thing I've discovered (the hard way) is that the drivers for Marvell SAS/SATA chips still have a few problems. After Googling around quite a bit, I see a significant number of others have had similar issues, especially evident in the Ubuntu forums but also for a few

I know of the issue using vmware server 2.0.2 and centos 5.4, but is their any reason not to use the .rpm install of for centos? I have always used the .tar file but this time used the rpm and it appeared to install and not crash. I went ahead and did the glib correction but I was wondering if using the rpm was not the rght thing to do, Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Looking at switching over from vmware and need to stand up a kvm install, I really would like to wait for rhel6 but not sure when it may show up....but what I would like to know what is the latest KVM that I can run with 5.5 and what are the best management tools to use, I looked at the wiki but it also referenced the redhat doc's....would like to run the para virt drivers if possible....any

I need to have a server built and ready to install by this weekend, and I'm trying to decide whether to use the customer's copy of Windows 2000 Server, or Ubuntu or Centos. I think Ubuntu would have a newer version of samba. The problem is, for this one server, about 20 users hammer MS Access databases all day, and samba seems to have had issues with Access in the past. Is that still the

OK, so I need to bring up a new vm and was wondering what the state of vm kernels for centos. I have read this http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189about the tick divider but it wasn't clear what the best step forward is for centos 5.1 was, i usually ran with the clocksource=pit option and it looked like that and the divider option caused a problem. I have in the past compiled my own but

Guys! I have one fiber channel IBM storage (10T) and 8 HP Proliant servers with 32G of RAM on each and 1 HP with 4G of RAM. My question is: * How to use the same storage (block device) with all my different virtualization servers simultaneously? I have 2 open source Xen with CentOS 5.4, 2 VMWare ESX, 2 Citrix XenServer, 2 KVM powered by Ubuntu and 1 Debian exporting the IBM storage to a SAN

So I have finally carved out some time and need to start converting my vm's from Vmware server to KVM and I was wondering if anyone had the specfic steps that need to be taken...I understand how to convert the disks etc..what I am interested in is how to get them to use virtio ones which means iw ill need to remake initrd...so if anyone has moved from vmware server (aka the free one) to KVM

Hello all, I'm having quite an interesting time getting up to speed with KVM/QEMU and the various ways of creating virtual Guest VMs. But disk I/O performance remains a bit of a question mark for me. I'm looking for suggestions and opinions .... This new machine has tons of disk space, lots of CPU cores and loads of RAM, so those are not issues. I currently have several software

Hi Team, Is there any body got any experience on setting up a virtualized environment in which the vm's can access a fiber channel SAN storage connected to host? the host access the SAN through its own HBA, but the hba is not recognized inside the virtual machines. Please let me know the step to go through this. Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

I have several Centos 8 machines that I update and every now and again I will go through and update all of them and one of them will get a slow mirror, like downloading the kernel at 50kb etc. With the newer version I am unable to figure out how to force it to update the mirror list and hopefully change to a faster mirror. I have searched but must not be using the right verbiage since I am unable
