I''m currently running a set of SLES10 SP2 servers that share common storage using OCFS2. The VMs run fine, although sometimes it seems that the disk files don''t close out correctly and I end up with loop devices that won''t detach correctly. The bigger issue, though, is that if I try to do an "xm save" on a domain and put the file onto the OCFS2 volume, the save fails after a couple of seconds and a few bytes of data. If I save the file to the local filesystem (ext3 or rieser) it works fine, but a save to the OCFS2 volume doesn''t seem to work. Also, once the xm save fails, the domain gets into a weird state that an "xm restore" or "xm resume" or "xm unpause" doesn''t seem to help. Then I have to reboot the physical server because the qemu-dm process goes into a "defunct" state and won''t close out and release the file. Unfortunately I didn''t get log files the last time this happened, but I''ll try to capture that the next time I see the behavior. In the meantime, if anyone else has any ideas, I''d appreciate the input. Thanks - Nick This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Hi, every body, I am new one in Virtualization''s works, especially in Xen. I need to build a big Computer from 4 PC (with CPU= Intel Xeon 2x2GHz, RAM=8Gb for each, HDD=200Gb). My purpose is setup a small Data Center as an example for my student''s class with some services like e-mail, voip, video conferencing, Education Document''s storage. . .. I need any help from you. Is there any body have guide line or tutorial documents for the beginner like me? Pleased, send me. Thank you so much in advance. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi> I am new one in Virtualization''s works, especially in Xen...You seem to be new to mailinglists also. Please learn how to use them first. Especially don''t hijack other peoples threads.. That is, if you want to start a new topic, create a new mail, don''t reply to something that has nothing in common with your topic.

In the meantime, if anyone else has any ideas, I''d appreciate the input. If you have a qemu-dm-process, you are propably using HVM domains. I think this is a bad idea, because: - SLES10 has support for PV-domains in its kernel (AFAIK) - PV is generally faster than HVM - Suspend works reliable for PV-domains - Depending on your very exact xen version, HVM dont work reliable with suspending. So, try a PV-setup, if possible. Regards, Steffen _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
