Xen users - Apr 2009 - Xen qos

Hi, I am using Xen3.3.1 on Centos5.2. I plan to run 20 domu in single physical
host(2 x quad-core xeon). But before production, I worry about qos:

 

1.      For CPU, if one of the domu runs cpu intensive app (e.g. wrong app with
forever loop), how to prevent it affecting other domu?

 

2.      For network, I would like to control the amount of data transfer per
domu(e.g. 10GB in/out per day), any way to do it on dom0 and without
configuration on domu?

 

Felix

See http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/CreditScheduler and run "xm
create --help_config" to see config syntax.

No easy setup that I know of.
Your best bet is probably tc or tcng to limit bandwidth usage (not the
amount of data transfer), and snmp to monitor usage.
