Arp Flip Flops make machine inaccessible.

CentOS 5.5 Xen "standard" Xen Installation. I have two nics. I just put the second one to DHCP and modified the ifcfg-et01 and so far I am holding, but I am not confident. Prior they were sequential IP Addrs on same subnet. arpwatch has indicated flip flips. I can find no rhyme or reason to predict them. I know I missed I must have missed a step somewhere. I want to keep the traffic pinned to the physical ethXs by their Xen bridge assignation. Segregate traffic.

Power Management and dom0 cpus
by Ben M. 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

["Standard" CentOS 5.5 Xen Virtualization installation.] I'm setting up a new box on AMD Opteron platform. I'm doing some preliminary baselines (no domUs running) with an inline Watt/VA meter. It appears to enable full power management Xen dom0 must have all cpus by not limiting in kernel statement nor in xendconfig.sxp. In previous installations I cut them back to 1 or 2. The bonus of all cpus appears to be a 16% to 20% reduction in wattage/va consumption at idle. Pretty substantial when I consider that my electric utility rates have increased 75% (yep) in the past two years alone. My question is to anyone with experience with this is will I be seeing a significant performance hit on domU performance in either paravirtualized or fully virtualized guests (or both)?

Lockup with (none) login
by Ben M. 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

I had a CentOS 5.5 Xen "standard virtualization" install lockup on reboot after an battery backup (apcusbd) orderly shutdown induced by a power outage. It may have been sitting with two kernel updates without a reboot. I have to head to the site (with a fractured ankle), but reports indicate that it is at - (none) login: which only returns back to itself after a user login at console, including root. - the local user says, though the monitor speed was "too fast" that it is failing to find its mounts OR that the disk reported errors. It is on a dmraid (I know, please don't flame me). There is some critical information on the drives that did NOT backup. I need a list of tools and ideas to have a checklist to try and resurrect this machine. Of course I will go with - Live CD - CentOS 5.5 install. - Hard drives. I would appreciate any procedural methods to go about this and try to resurrect this machine.

Re: [CentOS-virt] (KVM) How can I migrate VM in a non shared storage environment?
by Christopher Hunt 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

+1 for dd + nc over ssh if necessary. This process can and probably will saturate your ethernet interface, so depending upon the amount of traffic the box pushes on the public interface the size of the partition and other factors, sometimes i add a crossover cable between unused interfaces on the 2 boxes and run the process over that interface, so it doesn't impact the running vms.

accesing remote domU vnc console?
by Fernando Gleiser 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

I'm having an strange weird problem while trying to connect to a remote domU console The VM runs win2k3, I need to connect on the console in order to change its IP address I log into dom0, find the domU ID: [root@btreptab01 xen]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 0 Domain-0 running 8 linux idle 9 win2k3 running so I open a new session and tunnel vnc through it: ssh -L 5907:localhost:5907 root@remoteip then launch a vnc client krdc localhost:7 and nothing happens :/ netstat shows the connection as established on both hosts, but I can't get a console working, just a blank screen I tried enabling vncserver on dom0, connecting to it, launching virt-manager and trying to attach to it, same result. It shows a "connecting to console" message and nothing more.... the dom0 host is in a datacenter many miles away from here, so walking to it and working on the server's console is not a practical option any ideas/help would be greatly apreciated
