I am trying to start a large number of SMP domains (> 50). However,
I am unable to create more than 7 domains. When I try creating
the 8th domain, I get this error:
Using config file "myconf7".

Is this a bug or a python compatibility issue? FYI, I am running this on
a 4way Intel box with RHEL4 installed on it. I have installed latest
(as of 7 June) xen-unstable-src.tgz.

Add some debugging to print ''name'' at the appropraite place. What''s the configuration file for this domain. You might want to use the ''dry run'' option just to print out the sxp the domain config has been parsed in to. I suspect the block device name is messed up.

Turns out that it is a loop device issue. I was using files as disks for the domains and the default max_loop device in dom0 kernel is 8. Hence I couldn''t create more than 8 domains! After increasing max_loop to 200, I have been able to create upto 20 domains now (which is enough for now!) And yeah, the error was because name argument passed was NULL (in python terms) in /usr/lib/python/xen/util:mount_mode() On Tue, Jun 07, 2005 at 11:53:23AM +0100, Ian Pratt wrote:> > Add some debugging to print ''name'' at the appropraite place.
