Re: [Xen-devel] xend doesn''t start with xen-staging tip (on ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04)
I ran into this too. xend has been changed (I think to work with either libxc or libxl). What you have to do now is start /etc/init.d/xencommons then start /etc/init.d/xend.

Trying to start xenstored twice seemed a bad choice, using a global variable to decide which toolstack you want (my first attempt) was pretty ugly, so we decided to move the common initializations in a separate file. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I''ve ran into this, too. I had to run xenstored and xenconsoled manually. Actually in my installation, I had to restart my network or flush iptables/ebtables to make network working again.

For most developers, the experience is "it just works and so I can concentrate on what I want to develop". Breaking this for a very small fraction of users with both installed doesn''t seem like a good tradeoff to me. When xl is solid enough to become the default for everyone, breaking xend becomes unavoidable, but until then it is unnecessary pain. IMHO, at an absolute minimum, breaking something that so many people have been dependent on for so long should at least result in some huge red flag being raised. I understand there''s no easy way to do this, but at least some 10-20 line message in xend.log in ALL CAPS SAYING DEFAULTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND YOU NEED TO DO THIS NOW TO GET PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR would be nice when xend is auto-launched at init by those hundreds of machines and/or manually launched when the user scratches their head trying to diagnose why their VM launch failed. Sadly, my python ability is insufficient for this which is why I am otherwise cheering on the development of xl. ;-) My two cents...

I''m not sure we need to go quite this far but if you want an improved
error message that gets written to xend.log (or to stderr) when
xencommons is not run then I think the answer is for someone to ahead
and submit a patch.
> Sadly, my python ability is insufficient for this which is

We are talking about xen-unstable here; users are expected to cope
with a certain amount of skew, trouble and instability.
In 4.1 we expect that xend will no longer be the default
configuration; we expect xl to be sufficiently stable and featureful
to be used as a dropin replacement for xm, for almost all current
xm/xend users.
Obviously we will make a good deal of noise about this in the
changelog, release notes, etc.
Ian.

I can easily see myself spending hours trying to figure out what I broke or what version mismatch I accidentally caused etc etc, and the only indication that this (IMHO) very major init change happened was a brief comment from Keir that "maybe we should fix this" in a seemingly irrelevant xen-devel thread. Sorry to beat on this, but if we expect the Xen developer community to thrive and grow (which I assume is important to all of us), this is an example of how we are shooting ourselves in the foot.> In 4.1 we expect that xend will no longer be the default > configuration; we expect xl to be sufficiently stable and featureful > to be used as a dropin replacement for xm, for almost all current > xm/xend users. > > Obviously we will make a good deal of noise about this in the > changelog, release notes, etc.Drop in would be great. Noise and documentation is also great. Requiring every installer to setup and manipulate a new set of obscure init commands and/or brctls and/or other things that used to work fine in every distro for 3.4/4.0... not so great. But if it gets rid of all those horrible python stack traces, I guess it''s all worth it. ;-) _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Well, the old bridge thing didn''t "work fine in every
distro". It was
fragile and unreliable and if it went wrong it caused complete dom0
networking failures (which can be very awkward in a colo).
I don''t know what distro you''re using. Perhaps on Redhat
derivatives
setting up your network to go through a bridge is "obscure init
commands and/or brctls" but on Debian derivatives it really is
trivial.

Admittedly it may NOT have worked on latest releases of some bleeding edge distros, but those that are running bleeding edge distros tend to know what they are doing (see below).> I don''t know what distro you''re using.

You asked on xen-devel what to do to fix it and got the reply: ''You need to set up your own network to go through a bridge now''. Do you know now exactly what trivial things you need to do?

I''d suspect the percentage of those answering yes to either of those questions would be surprisingly small. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

People who are running production systems on xen-unstable bits need
more help than we can sensibly give them.
As I say we''ll make a song and dance about this in the 4.1 release
notes, announcements, etc. Another related substantial change will be
the switch away from xend in the default configuration, and it makes
sense to make both of these changes at the same time.
Ian.

But to clarify, we''re not talking about those people; we''re talking about *developers* updating xen-unstable bits on an otherwise completely stable base distro. And we''re talking about xen-users installing xen-unstable on their systems to see if it fixes a bug or adds an important feature they are waiting for. "Oops, networking is broke, I guess I''d better roll back"... which means fewer people testing and giving feedback on xen-unstable.> As I say we''ll make a song and dance about this in the 4.1 release > notes, announcements, etc. Another related substantial change will be > the switch away from xend in the default configuration, and it makes > sense to make both of these changes at the same time.Historically in Xen, "song and dance" has been more like "hum a bar offkey and quickly twirl around" :-) I hope this change at this release is a bit more. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Since it will be done .. and there will be documentation for the end user ..

Hello Pasi, Yes i also found out that creating a bridge from debian networking scripts is more reliable for me. So i now have a bridge with all xen guests (xen_bridge), which is routed with iptables with my eth0 and eth1, together with some portforwarding for specific services.
