FW: [Xen-users] Standard VM live migration OK but Windows GPLPV VM livemigration broken
Sorry, a correction, it seems none of the Paravirt machines will live migrate (Centos PVs act in same way), all the unmodified HVMs migrate OK. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Robert Dunkley Sent: 21 January 2009 12:22 To: xen-users Subject: [Xen-users] Standard VM live migration OK but Windows GPLPV VM livemigration broken Hi Everyone, Is there something specific I need to do to get live migration with Windows GPLPV drivers working? Non para Windows VMs and Centos 4.7 Para VMs all migrate OK on my setup but systems running the Windows GPLPV drivers get stuck, the receiving Dom0 shows the domain in a paused state and the sending Dom0 show the domain with -migrating added to the name but never completes.

RE: FW: [Xen-users] Standard VM live migration OK but Windows GPLPV VM livemigration broken
Hi,
I''m using Centos 5.2 with OFED 1.3 (Infiniband Drivers), Xen 3.3.0 from
Gitco RPM and DRBD 8.2.6 installed. I have always installed the VMs as
full HVM and modified them later for PV. I used an rpm called
kmod-xenpv-0.1-10.el4.centos.x86_64 to change the Centos 4.7 HVM to
para, it gave a good increase in performance but unfortunately a
suitable KMod does not seem to be available for Centos 5.2 yet.
Below are the Xen logs during transfer of a PV VM. Does anything look
out of place?
Thanks,
Rob

Now that''s weird. What OS/Xen combo are you using? Have you test it
with RHEL/CentOS 5.2 PV domUs?

It''s HVM Linux domU with PV drivers. I haven''t tried one of those, sorry. Is there a special reason why you don''t use PV domU instead? Centos 4.x has kernel-xenU for that purpose. It should provide much better performance, plus a working live migration.> it gave a good increase in performance but unfortunately a > suitable KMod does not seem to be available for Centos 5.2 yet. >Really? RHEL5 has kmod-xenpv-0.1-9.el5.x86_64.rpm. You can either rebuild that from SRPM, or wait several weeks for CentOS 5.3.

See > https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-announce/2009-January/msg00000.htmlI''m also using CentOS 5.2 + Gitco''s xen 3.3.0 as dom0 and my CentOS 5.2 domU''s have installed the kernel-xen package and boot from it via pygrub. They live migrate fine, just like HVM''s but I''m facing the same problem than you with Windows 2003 Server and GPLPV drivers 0.9.11. Any hints on this would be very appreciated!
