Hi guys, there must be something wrong, maybe with xen vif. I have two test servers 1/ Supermicro 6015C-NT (this story isn''t Supermicro problem!) 2/ HP ML 110 G5 System CentOS 5 (x86_64 for dom0, i86 for domU) I can perform dom0 installation on both servers, without problem. But I can''t install domU at Supermicro (I can at HP). Error: Unable to retrieve http://192.168.6.100/centos/images/stage2.img Using virt-install -d --nographics -p -r 2048 --vcpus 1 -f /dev/lvg1/lv1 -l http://192.168.6.100/centos/ -n test Ok, I looking for other way. Migration domU from HP to Supermicro. Done without problem. But after domU boot up from Supermicro, I can ping domU, but I can''t login via ssh to domU. Ok, I can login to domU at Supermicro from dom0 console. But there is still problem with network. I can ping, dig elsewhere, but I can''t do wget, elinks, run network services ... I can''t see any errors log/message. Supermicro have eth0 + eth1 module igb, Intel 82575EB.

> You stop firewall (iptables -F)?Yes, on dom0 and domU. SElinux is disabled too.> what version of xen and kernel-xen (try rpm -q) ?System is up2date from CentOS repository. [fuxa@vali2 ~]$ rpm -qa |grep xen kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-64.el5_2.9 kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 xen-3.0.3-64.el5_2.9 xen-libs-3.0.3-64.el5_2.9 [fuxa@vali2 ~]$ uname --all Linux vali2 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:26:32 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux> Sounds like an old problem > Try this >http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq#head-4ce9767df34fe1c9cf4f85f7e07cb10110eae9b7 great! looks like same problem. Before I post my story to mailing, I read all xen faq''s, but don''t equate to my problem, if I can recommend more description - for other users with similar problem. I tried "tcpdump -vv -n -i eth0" and read relevant posts, it''s working, but networking on domU is still very slow. tcpdump says cksum (correct) time wget -q http://www.yahoo.com/ dom0 (that''s ok) real 0m0.210s domU (slow) real 0m10.206s I''ll try RHEL 5 kernel and xen. Many thanks for pointing. Thanks in advance Regards Martin _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If I''ll add/use PCIe NIC card (like Intel Pro 1000 PT or Broadcom NetXtreme), solve this problem?

The ones with tg3 used to have a similar problem back in the days of RHEL 5.0. It''s working correctly now without the need for any workaround (I can''t remember whether it was 5.1 or 5.2 that solved the problem). Here''s what I currently use (all onboard NIC): Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) The drivers for your NIC might haven''t been widely-tested enough so using a common, well-known, old-enough NIC might solve your problems.
