Hello there, I''m using Xen 3.2 (downloaded from Xen.org (http://www.xen.org/download/index_3.2.0.html ) on CentOS 5. I created a guest with Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 and installed version 0.9.10 of XenWindowsGplPv drivers. When I try to reboot the guest though, shutdown freezes on Windows background with still pointer. xm top reports 100% CPU utilization and the guest does not shutdown / restart. If I run the xm shutdown guest, it does shutdown however. I also tried 0.9.11-pre17 with same results. How can I fix this problem?

With or without GPLPV drivers. Try this see if this helps. Are you allocating more than two CPUs to domU? I set my vcpus line to "2". When I allocates 4 CPUs to Windows domU, it''ll freeze on both shutdown and reboots. Regardless through VNC or RDP sessions. If anyone on list wants to know more info I am able to reproduce this problem on my dev server. HW: PE 2950 Intel 8 core w/ 16GB.

Hi Terri, David, I also have this issue with Windows Server 2003 32 bit installed on Xen 3.2.0 built from the xen source rpm''s for CentOS 5.2. When I have a single vcpu set, the domU exhibits normal shutdown & restart behavior, but with 2 or more vcpu''s it will occasionally hang & consume 100% of a single core within the dom0 when attempting to shutdown or reboot. My config for the domU is: [root@enterprise ~]# cat /etc/xen/xxx name = "xxx" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder = "hvm" memory = 1024 #vcpus = 4 vcpus = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 pae = 1 vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ] disk = [ ''phy:/dev/domU/xxx_c,hda,w'', ''phy:/dev/domU/xxx_f,hdd,w'', ''file:/var/lib/xen/images/Windows2003Server_Std_i386.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'', ] vfb = [ ''type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vncdisplay=1'' ] device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" boot = "c" vnc = 1 vncviewer = 0 vncconsole = 0 sdl = 0 audio = 0 localtime = 1 usbdevice = "tablet" I''m also using the gplpv drivers (0.9.11-pre17), but it doesn''t appear to make a difference whether I boot the win2003 hvm with /gplpv or not. Aside from setting vcpu''s = 1, have either of you been able to work out a resolution for it?

Hi Terii, Your right, I had 4 vcpus, I changed them to 2 vcpus and reboot is now working. Terrific. But changing to 2 vcpus isn''t going to affect the performance of my domU?

Terrific.Great that works for you! I need to do further testing see why allocating more than 4 CPUs is causing this problem. I will test this on Xen 3.3 in near future.> > But changing to 2 vcpus isn''t going to affect the performance of my > domU?Depends on what you do. At two of my company''s remote locations (one running VMware, one running Xen), we have following domUs. 1. Windows Server 2003 std for AD. 2. Windows Server 2003 std for DNS. 3. Windows Server 2003 std for Citrix presentation server. All guests are allocated two CPUs and getting hit quite heavily. I don''t see any performance/stability issues. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
