[Xen-users] big sized applications in XEN virtual machine
Hi, recently I discovered the exsistance of Xen. I looked a bit around and feel quite impressed by this solution. Then an idea came to my mind, having a partition for a more or less stable server and one for my bleeding edge desktop playground. I think I am not the only one with that ;) But I dont want to use the typical lamp server config, I thought more about a massive database server, such as DB2 together with a recent version of SAP Netweaver. Both of them are quite memory and of course IO-hungry. I have decent hardware to run that, but I couldnt found any experience report about such a xen-DB2-SAP combination. So I ask you, if there are any experiences with that. In special I ask myself, how the removal of the TLS libraries might affect performance and stability of those applications. (Preferred OS is RHEL4) I would be glad to hear some hints or experiences. Thanks & Regards, Andre. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

TLS libs (/lib/tls, /usr/lib/tls, /usr/X11r6/lib/tls) moved out of the way. This configuration works great running MTA (mail filtering purposes) and web server (LAMP). However it didn''t work quite as expected running Oracle. Oracle runs, but often I would get entries like these on alert log : ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [kkogbro()+2832] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x0] [] [] ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kghssgai2], [1], [36], [], [], [], [], [] ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kghssgai2], [1], [20], [], [], [], [], [] ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [kkogbro()+2832] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x0] [] [] ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kghssgai2], [5], [36], [], [], [], [], [] ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [kkogbro()+2832] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x0] [] [] ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [kkogbro()+2832] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x0] [] [] ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kghssgai3], [128], [20], [], [], [], [], [] ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kghssgai2], [5], [20], [], [], [], [], [] and sometimes it just dies. Revert back to native linux, everything works fine. I haven''t had time to test current Xen 2.0.6 (or nightly snapshot) though.
