Sorry, I shouldn''t have used the reply button ...
Hi,
I''m having some real hard time with the gplpv driver and Windows2k3
DomU
on xen 4.0
This is a xen 4 install from debian squeeze withour much changes in the
configuration
I''ve install the gplpv driver in the DomU, everything seems to work
fine
but I''m having slow data transfert between two windows DomU (even on
the
same physical host). I barely reach 100Mbps on a Gbit interface (usualy
around 8 - 10 MBytes / s).
I have read quite a lot on this "issue" on the list and various other
sources. I have tried to disable "Checksum offload" and "Large
Send
Offload" in the DomU but nothing changed.
By the way, this doesn''t affect the Linux DomU (I get full Gbit data
speed there)
I''m running out of ideas, any advice would be much appreciated.
Below is my DomU config file and network configuration :
Cheers
Olivier
DomU :
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
acpi=1
apic=1
vcpus = 8
memory = 12288
shadow_memory = 8
name = "patologix"
vif = [ ''type=paravirtualized, bridge=eth0'' ]
disk = [
''phy:/dev/datastore1/patologix-hda,hda,w'',
''phy:/dev/datastore1/patologix-hdb,hdb,w'',
''phy:/dev/datastore1/patologix-hdd,hdd,w'',
''phy:/dev/datastore1/patologix-hde,hde,w'',
#
''file:/mnt/SW_CD_Windows_Svr_Std_2003_R2_32-BIT_X64_English_ISO_x64_1_MLF_X13-73750.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r'',
]
device_model = ''/usr/lib64/xen-4.0/bin/qemu-dm''
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy
boot="dc"
vfb = [
''type=vnc,vncdisplay=19,vncpasswd=s3cr3t,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,keymap=fr''
]
#sdl=0
#vnc=1
#vncconsole=1
#vncpasswd=''''
stdvga=0
serial=''pty''
usbdevice=''tablet''
in my xend-config.sxp the network configuration looks like :
(network-script network-bridge)
and the bridge configured on the server :
root@furax:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
eth0 8000.0025900ce62c no peth0
vif10.0
vif12.0
vif15.0
vif17.0
vif20.0
vif3.0
vif4.0
vif6.0
vif7.0
vif8.0
vif9.0

Re: [Xen-users] Slow network with Win2k3, HVM and GPLPV
When I''m in front of a computer I''ll email a link for a version that might fix this issue. In the meantime can you test with vcpus=1 and see if that improves things?

Hello, thanks for your answer, I have just tried between two xin2k3 with 1 vcpu but the situation remains the same.
