Hello Everyone I was wondering if any has any information on what going with xen. I have notice that many linux distro have start removing linux dom0 and domU''s support like ubunutu. I''m kinda worried on what the future is going to hold for xen. Also is there any way to get ubuntu 9.10 supported has a domU without using HVM because performance reasons? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Im on 3.4.2 xen-stable and the xen/master (2.6.31.12) linux dom0 kernel.

More information about various Xen Dom0 capable kernels: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels And information about Xen pvops dom0 development: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps pv_ops dom0 is available today, and it''ll be the standard/default dom0 kernel in the upcoming Xen 4.0.0 release (4.0.0-rc6 is the latest release candidate).

However, if you install as HVM first and then install grub v1, it works just fine. There are plenty of examples on the web of how to do that. If you don''t want to do that or can''t for hardware reasons then take a look at one of the domU image download sites such as http://www.stacklet.com/ Don''t despair.

The latest version of Pygrub has grub2 support. I''ve tested it and it works with lucid as a domU.

Up to Jaunty it was -server. AFAICT the 32-bit -generic kernels never had DomU support compiled in, while the -server kernels did. OTOH, the 64-bit Karmic -generic kernel comes with DomU support enabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/437331 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/461127 To me, it seems that Ubuntu doesn''t really care about Xen. -- Regards mks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Thanx everyone for your help, I worked with ubunutu a little more last night and was able to see the new kernel support for pv_op. I was confused because there were so many article out on the web using my friend google but it starts getting confusing because there''s a lot of outdated howto,articles, blog that are not in chronological order to understand were we are with xen today. Does anyone know if there is site that keeps up with xen? There even some pages on xen.org that are out dated and kinda hard to figure out what is what. Also I would love to help out on keeping xen documents update, so it will be a little easier find what we are looking for. If know how I can help out on this, that would be helpful. christopher andrews-4 wrote:> > > Hello Everyone > I was wondering if any has any information on what going with xen.

On Ubuntu Karmic, only linux-ec2 have the Xen domU support... An it is not the pv_ops because it was build to the Amazon EC2 (Old Xen). Am I right?!

I think I may have just figured out what it was, so dom0_mem=512M in grub, and dom0-min-mem=512 in xend-config, balloon on or off didnt seem to matter, but anyway... On a fresh reboot domain-0 would be using ALL the memory except for like 130 megs or so out of 4 gigs. So every time i tried to start a guest it would complain about not enough memory. I thought maybe it was suppose to take memory away from its "pool" of used memory or something and use for the guest. So, I just rebooted again keeping dom0_mem=512M and set balloon to no and dom0-min-mem=192 and then "xm mem-set Domain-0 512" and I can see my available memory go up to 3 gigs where it should be. Any reason why it would start off sucking up all the ram? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to say on a reboot give domain-0 512 megs of ram and thats it? I would have thought that by turning ballooning OFF that this would be the effect but apparently not? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I think I may have just figured out what it was, so dom0_mem=512M in grub, and dom0-min-mem=512 in xend-config, balloon on or off didnt seem to matter, but anyway... On a fresh reboot domain-0 would be using ALL the memory except for like 130 megs or so out of 4 gigs. So every time i tried to start a guest it would complain about not enough memory. I thought maybe it was suppose to take memory away from its "pool" of used memory or something and use for the guest. So, I just rebooted again keeping dom0_mem=512M and set balloon to no and dom0-min-mem=192 and then "xm mem-set Domain-0 512" and I can see my available memory go up to 3 gigs where it should be. Any reason why it would start off sucking up all the ram? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to say on a reboot give domain-0 512 megs of ram and thats it? I would have thought that by turning ballooning OFF that this would be the effect but apparently not? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If you don''t specify it, then dom0 will use all the available memory leaving 0 MB free in Xen hypervisor for other guests. dom0-min-mem=192 in xend-config.sxp means dom0 will not be ballooned below 192 of memory. Disabling dom0 ballooning obviously completely disables dom0 ballooning, and dom0 will have the initial boot time amount of memory forever. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It means no changes are applied, but often some patches depend on earlier ones having been successfully applied. The only way to actually test the patch series is to do the patching, and see if anything fails (which it won''t, in this case.) -- Having to infer what Unix is solely from a copy of the GNU Manifesto is not really an exercise you want to undertake. --AdB _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
