I don''t understand why ''xm list'' shows my domain as blocked while clearly it it up and running. I can login to it, browse the web from it, etc. What''s up with that? Heh. This was one of my guides. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU I have Centos 5.1 x86_64 running inside Ubuntu amd64 Gutsy Gibbon. -- "Outside of a dog, a book is a man''s best friend.

This can be caused because the domain is waiting on IO (a traditional wait state) or has gone to sleep because there was nothing else for it to do. ------ (same idea that blocked processes) So, when you type xm list it seems that domain is not doing any action. If you run an intensive CPU program in domU you should see more R than B, if the domain is not processing will be in B :-) (maybe I''m wrong :-) ) -- Carles Pina i Estany GPG id: 0x8CBDAE64 http://pinux.info Manresa - Barcelona _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Maybe you''d manage to see "running" on a multiprocessor machine if your domU is running something CPU-intensive while you xm list? You''re not the first one to wonder, personally I''d have named the state "idle" :-) -- Nathan _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
