Hello eveyone, did anybody built Xen4.1.1?
I am working on Xen4.0.1, *I am planning to implement high avaliability by
''
remus'', which included in Xen4.0.1, among virtual machines*.
But I met some problem, I show you my project step by setp:
I enabled Intel VT in BIOS setting, and built dom0 by Xen4.0.1, kernel
2.6.31.8 on CentOS5.5.
I created a Windows XP Guest OS.
//start a VM
# xm cr <vm.hvm>
//used remus created a backup machine on another physic machine
//I used ''xm list'' checked the backup machine on another
machine, its status
is ''p''
# remus --no-net <VMID> <IP>
//destroy primary machine
# xm destroy <VMID>
at the same time, the backup VM''s status transfered to
''r'', but when I
login the VM by vncviewer,* I found the backup VM almost liked a zombie
without any response and could not be operated*!
Did anybody met this problem? How to addressed the problem?
Some persons told me that the Xen4.0.1 is not very stable about remus, they
suggested me to use Xen4.2.1, but I cann''t find Xen4.2.1. So I download
Xen4.1.1 from Xen offical website.
*Since I can not access internet in my office, so I should built Xen in an
offline way*! It is really a tough job!
Did anybody has experience about building Xen4.1.1 in an offline way? and
give me some detail information about the process?
I would really pleasure if you could give some advices, thanks lot!
yours
Tiantian Liu

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Did anybody used ''remus'' in Xen4.0.1?
Thanks for your promptly reply!
could you give me the address to download Xen 4.2?
Since I can not access internet in my office, could you give me some detail
instructions
to build xen4.2?
