[Xen-users] problem with extra storage via iscsi
Hi! I have a domU with one dom0. The root filesystem of dom0 is located on LVM at domU. This blockdevice is presented to dom0 as /dev/sda. So far everything is working fine. Now I''d like to add extra storage to dom0 using an iSCSI-LUN from our NAS. I installed open-iscsi on the dom0, but open-iscsi assigns the discoverd LUN also to /dev/sda. I''m not sure what''s going wrong here. Should I add something to the config-file of dom0 to create a ''dummy'' blockdevice that could later be assigned to the iSCSI-LUN? Or is it recommended to do the iscsi-stuff on domU and assign the physical disk to dom0 in the configfile? -- Met vriendelijke groet, Gertjan Oude Lohuis Byte Internet W www.byte.nl E support@byte.nl F 020 6255 922 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

No, the domU keeps working, I think because all partitions are already mounted when open-iscsi starts.

Connecting the LUN to dom0 and assigning it as a regular blockdevice to domU has a large drawback: there is no protection against using the same blockdevice in multiple domU''s. Normally LUN masking would protect against that, but a LUN mask is based on IQN, and the IQN belongs to the dom0.

RE: [Xen-users] problem with extra storage via iscsi
Hello, From my point of view, Tammo is right... You write: Why would performance be better with an extra layer (dom0)? - because in DomU You can have as far as I know in maximum 100MBit network device, in Dom0 You can use the gigabit (or possible 10Gbit - I did not tried it) connection without problems, so any network device should have then much more better performance if mapped as block device through Dom0... You write: Connecting the LUN to dom0 and assigning it as a regular blockdevice to domU has a large drawback: there is no protection against using the same blockdevice in multiple domU''s. - if You have some device already mounted in some DomU or in Dom0 as read-write, then the start of the next guest which is trying to mount such a device as read-write too results into the error by start of such a domain and the DomU is not started then - at least on my Xen boxes it behaves so...

Gertjan Oude Lohuis wrote:> No, the domU keeps working, I think because all partitions are already > mounted when open-iscsi starts.I figured out why /dev/sda is assigned to the LUN. This is a part from the domU configurationfile: root = ''/dev/sda1 ro'' disk = [ ''phy:xen-images/loghost-disk,sda1,w'', ''phy:xen-images/loghost-swap,sda2,w'', ''phy:xen-images/loghost-remotelogs,sda3,w'', '' phy:xen-images/loghost-httplogs,sda4,w'' ] As you can see, only sda1 through sda4 are used, but sda is not. Mystery solved. Step two: what to do next: 1. Alter configuration file and add a phony /dev/sda, so that udev will give my LUN (hopefully) another name 2. Alter complete setup: assign only a /dev/sda to the domU and partition it inside the domU 3. Configure the LUN as /dev/sda, hoping that partitions made on the LUN will not conflict with existing /dev/sda[1-4] 4. Figure out a way to have udev assign another name than /dev/sda (eg sd[b-z]) Any suggestions? Are there best practices for a situation like this, or more in general: partitioning for domU?

> 4.

Use xvda[1-4] in your config (and guest) instead of sda[1-4].

[Xen-users] Getting stubdom working on Xen 3.3 port via http://www.gitco.de/repo/xen3.3.0 to CentOS 5.2
Created in /etc/xen files:-
[root@ServerCentOS52 xen]# cat WinXPhvm-stubdom
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 512
name = "WinXPhvm"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=eth0'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/stubdom-dm''
boot="d"
sdl=0
opengl=0
vnc=0
# vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
# vncpasswd=''''
stdvga=0
[root@ServerCentOS52 xen]# cat WinXPhvm-dm
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/ioemu-stubdom.gz"
vif = [ '' '', ''bridge=eth0'']
vfb = [ ''type=sdl'' ]
disk =
[''file:/etc/xen/isos/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'',''file:/etc/xen/images/disk.img,hda,w'',''file:/tmp/test,hdb,r'']
Per Xen 3.3 Stubdom Release Notes run:-
# mkdir -p /exports/usr/share/xen/qemu
# ln -s /usr/share/xen/qemu/keymaps /exports/usr/share/xen/qemu
# mkdir -p /exports/var/lib
# ln -s /var/lib/xen /exports/var/lib
# /usr/sbin/fs-backend &
Switch from console to another terminal session :-
# xm create WinXPhvm-stubdomto CentOS 5.2
In original hvm profile both vnc and sdl are disabled.
Selection is made *-dm Domain''s profile.
Install goes hardly alive with long outages , looks like it got stuck
I''ve set up mem_dom0 to 4GB on 8GB box, but
WinXPhvm-dm allocated only 32 MB, no matter of mem_dom0''s size
I would guess bad Xen Hypervisor tuning on Dom0 due to limited experience from
my side. Otherwise, performance is significantly worse then in usual HVM DomU.
Same install for CentOS 5.2 just hangs on the third page "Language
Selection",
Solaris Nevada Build 98 runs a bit faster , but fails after configuration phase
gets completed. "No hard disk found"

Subject: [Xen-users] Getting stubdom working on Xen 3.3 port via
http://www.gitco.de/repo/xen3.3.0 to CentOS 5.2
To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com
Date: Saturday, September 27, 2008, 9:40 AM
Created in /etc/xen files:-
[root@ServerCentOS52 xen]# cat WinXPhvm-stubdom
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 512
name = "WinXPhvm"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=eth0'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/stubdom-dm''
boot="d"
sdl=0
opengl=0
vnc=0
# vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
# vncpasswd=''''
stdvga=0
[root@ServerCentOS52 xen]# cat WinXPhvm-dm
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/ioemu-stubdom.gz"
vif = [ '' '', ''bridge=eth0'']
vfb = [ ''type=sdl'' ]
disk =
[''file:/etc/xen/isos/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'',''file:/etc/xen/images/disk.img,hda,w'',''file:/tmp/test,hdb,r'']
Per Xen 3.3 Stubdom Release Notes run:-
# mkdir -p /exports/usr/share/xen/qemu
# ln -s /usr/share/xen/qemu/keymaps /exports/usr/share/xen/qemu
# mkdir -p /exports/var/lib
# ln -s /var/lib/xen
/exports/var/lib
# /usr/sbin/fs-backend &
Switch from console to another terminal session :-
# xm create WinXPhvm-stubdomto CentOS 5.2
In original hvm profile both vnc and sdl are disabled.
Selection is made *-dm Domain''s profile.
Install goes hardly alive with long outages , looks like it got stuck
I''ve set up mem_dom0 to 4GB on 8GB box, but
WinXPhvm-dm allocated only 32 MB, no matter of mem_dom0''s size
I would guess bad Xen Hypervisor tuning on Dom0 due to limited experience from
my side. Otherwise, performance is significantly worse then in usual HVM DomU.
Same install for CentOS 5.2 just hangs on the third page "Language
Selection",
Solaris Nevada Build 98 runs a bit faster , but fails after configuration phase
gets completed. "No hard disk found"

Re-run the package install. After you''re done, change gpgcheck back to

Did you pull down the RPM packages locally to your server and trying to install it that way? If you are, you''ll need to change gpgcheck in the main configuration for yum.

I compiled and installed xen3.3 successfully without any error with default
Config.mk. I found following configs in Config.mk related to ACM:
Why did you compile it? You could have just used the repos at
http://www.gitco.de/repo/xen3.3.0. I just did this a few minutes ago and wrote
up a howto on it. I installed Xen 3.3, rebooted and it works great.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I''ll
use Windows."
Now they have two problems.

[Xen-users] Failure to install Solaris Nevada 98 in stub domain at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (64-bit)
Notice,that SNV_98 may be installed in HVM DomU with no problems.
Attempt to install SNV_98 in stub domain fails immediately :-
Configuring /dev
ata_command: BSY too long!DRDY 0x1 CMD 0xe0 F 0x0 N 0x0 S 0x0 H 0x0 CL 0x0 CH
0x0
What means that hard drive cannot be detected by Nevada.
Same message gets generated during SNV_98 install on DELL 4550 (4500) based on
Intel board:-
* Support for an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in a mPGA478 socket with a 400/533
MHz system bus
* Support for an Intel® Celeron® processor in a mPGA478 socket with a 400
MHz system bus
* Intel® 845PE Chipset
* Two Parallel ATA IDE interfaces with UDMA 33, ATA-66/100 support
and IDE hard drive 80 GB Seagate Barracuda.
At the same time Fedora 8,9 can be installed in stub domain , HVM DomU and on
DELLs 4550 (4500) and loads in all cases same driver "ata_piix".
I would expect any OS available for HVM DomU install, available for stub domain
install as well. If i am wrong about that,please, advise.
