Xen users - Dec 2005 - OpenSUSE and xen3 is far from being stable?

Hi,

I tried running xen3 (binary install) from xensource.com on an OpenSUSE box and
it doesn´t work: I can not create any domUs: "Error: Device 0 (vif) could
not be
connected. Hotplug scripts not working."

Same problems with a clone of xen-unstable from today (8439) 

The xen rpms shipped from suse aren´t that stable too (7608-2) 

Questions
Has anybody running a stable xen3 box on OpenSUSE10?
And how stable is xen3 stable??

Thanks 
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

You mean the rpm packages from the OpenSUSE
CD/DVD or the ones from Garloff in the site
http://www.suse.de/~garloff/linux/xen/RPMs-100/7608/

I am using those from Garloff, and yet I am at the beginning
of the configuration and tests, I could not see any problem
but the creation of the bridges and interfaces for all my
domains. I solved it with a script of mine and it is running
smoothly.

May be you should try it again, if you want some help with
configuration - specially the internal network - I can show
you some configs.

Best whishes,

Check out those at

http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?xenpreview

I haven''t tried them yet. I managed to get Garloffs rpms (7608) to work
on 32
and 64 bit Opensuse 10.0. I got them from
http://www.suse.de/~garloff/linux/xen/

Be sure to understand http://www.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3

Hi Peter,

Have you seen any instability using Xen? I am at the beginning
of the tests and, until now, I did not experience any problem due
to Xen or kernel. My only hard job til now is the understanding
of the way Xen 3 does networking (what I already understood)
and to prepare a script for covering the gaps in Xen networking
scripts. That is done and now I am installing each server, and
testing against the others and the networks.

I am using OpenSUSE 10.0 and Garloff''s excellent rpms.

Hi Fernando,

thanks for your help! I used the ones shipped with OpenSUSE and updated them by
yast to the same version as Kurt Garloffs rpms. I think xen or the rpms work for
me but the problems are mostly bridging/network or block-device related. 

Perhaps you can help me out with your scripts? That would be great!

Thanks a lot Dirk
