Xen users - Aug 2009 - how to verify if gplpv is installled

Hi,
I just installed gplpv drive for my windows 2003 domU, but not sure if it
works right, in my device manager, there is a unknown pci device, do you
know what''s that?

Thanks.

If it''s installed correctly, there should be a Xen device under
''System
Devices'' in device manager. It sounds like the Unknown PCI device is it
and the drivers haven''t been installed properly.

hi, I installed the 64bits in my 32 bits windows, this is why haven''t
been
installed property.

But after I installed the 32bits, the domU crashed when it started.

My dom0 is centos 5.3 64bits, and domU is windows 2003 sp2,

One more question, without pv drive, my windows domU can get about 30Mbps
download speed, and about 300-400Mbps IO speed,
I think it should be fine, but why so many people complain the bad IO,
network performance in windows domU without pv drive?

Did you uninstall the 64bit version first?
A trick that sometimes works is :
- install GPLPV
- reboot with /NOGPLPV
- reboot again normally (without /NOGPLPV)

so you might want to try that.

Well, if you can get 30Mbps out of the box, you should be able to get
several hundred Mbps with GPLPV :) Assuming your NIC and switch
supports it, of course.
