I''m running Xen-3.0 on CentOs 5.7 x86_64. When I run free -tm in a DomU the total amount of RAM is never what''s defined in the vm .cfg. In some OS''s free reports less than what''s configured, and in others it reports that there''s more. What can I do to make the vm see the correct amount of RAM that''s been allocated for it?

Fair enough, wasn''t sure if the emails went through. Guess they were...

When I run free -tm in ahmmm, if you really run a 3.0 there might be no one here which want to or can give any deeper support in this case anymore because 3.0 was a very young release with several bugs got known later. You should go up to a current 3.x or (if possible 4.x) and come back if the problem still persist. btw: You can check your posting i.e. at the public list archive. good luck, Niels. - -- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT&Internet http://www.syndicat.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.0.8 iIEEAREIAEEFAk838MQ6HE5pZWxzIERldHRlbmJhY2ggKFN5bmRpY2F0IElUJklu dGVybmV0KSA8bmRAc3luZGljYXQuY29tPgAKCRBU3ERlZRyiDTkfAJ9oZ/5eHnoU jeIJrCfBYI4pffGbGQCeOb2cFTTnTE5l8ErHH85LhMAKyGc=B4iV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
I''m using 3.0 out of laziness as it''s what''s available in the Centos default repos. I''ve upgraded to 4.1 using an rpm from http://www.gitco.de/repo/ but when I boot into the domU networking doesn''t work. My next step is to try Cent6 and use some rpms from http://xenbits.xen.org/people/mayoung/EL6.xen/x86_64/ On Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 12:03 PM, Niels Dettenbach (Syndicat IT&Internet) <nd@syndicat.com> wrote:> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA256 > > > > Simon Hobson <linux@thehobsons.co.uk> schrieb: > >>Huffen Doback wrote: >>>I''m running Xen-3.0 on CentOs 5.7 x86_64.

Check with ifconfig if there are there and up. Another point may be that the old bridge automatic in 3.0 is not longer used / propagated so you may have to set up the bridge by your OS way or by hand with brctl. What i mean: Before you try any different versions and combinations by i.e. laziness i would recommend to check the network instead and solve the reason as you usually will have to configure your xen setup at least in some basics for your need. If you want to get help here it would be wise to have some current Xen instead of any old / outdated versions. cheers, Niels. - -- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT&Internet http://www.syndicat.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.0.8 iIEEAREIAEEFAk84Coc6HE5pZWxzIERldHRlbmJhY2ggKFN5bmRpY2F0IElUJklu dGVybmV0KSA8bmRAc3luZGljYXQuY29tPgAKCRBU3ERlZRyiDRV7AJ43jVLmSnUj ddTrmPc5uQhTsMZM1QCeP1rE/FZ79dpwEcFpZPq7zWgvUvs=gw01 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hmmm good point. I''ll get current and try again.
