Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller
by Gena Makhomed 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Hello, All! virtio-win.iso contains two different Windows drivers. these Windows Server 2012 R2 drivers have different hardware IDs: \vioscsi\2k12R2\amd64\vioscsi.inf "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller" PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004&SUBSYS_00081AF4&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1048&SUBSYS_11001AF4&REV_01 \viostor\2k12R2\amd64\viostor.inf "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller" PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1042&SUBSYS_11001AF4&REV_01 When I use "VirtIO SCSI controller" in virt-manager, and when I install Windows Server 2012 R2 - I can use only viostor driver and can't use vioscsi driver, Windows Server 2012 R2 can't load vioscsi driver (?) from virtio-win.iso and did not see virtual hard disks with vioscsi driver. Only viostor driver work normally. How I can use "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller" for Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machine, what I need to configure in xml-config? current /etc/libvirt/qemu/windows.xml config: <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native' discard='unmap'/> <source file='/volume/kvm-windows-system'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </disk> Additional info: ================ virtio-win.iso version: virtio-win-0.1.126.iso from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Windows_Virtio_Drivers OS: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) QEMU: qemu-kvm-1.5.3-126.el7_3.5.x86_64 Windows Server 2012 R2 MSDN installation ISO image: en_windows_server_2012_r2_with_update_x64_dvd_6052708.iso sha1sum: 865494e969704be1c4496d8614314361d025775e size: 5397889024 bytes devcon.exe output inside Windows Server 2012 R2 Virtual Machine: PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4&REV_00\3&13C0B0C5&0&40 Name: Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller Hardware IDs: PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&CC_010000 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&CC_0100 Compatible IDs: PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001 PCI\VEN_1AF4&CC_010000 PCI\VEN_1AF4&CC_0100 PCI\VEN_1AF4 PCI\CC_010000 PCI\CC_0100 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4&REV_00\3&13C0B0C5&0&50 Name: Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller Hardware IDs: PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&CC_010000 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&CC_0100 Compatible IDs: PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001 PCI\VEN_1AF4&CC_010000 PCI\VEN_1AF4&CC_0100 PCI\VEN_1AF4 PCI\CC_010000 PCI\CC_0100 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004&SUBSYS_00081AF4&REV_00\3&13C0B0C5&0&38 Name: Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller Hardware IDs: PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004&SUBSYS_00081AF4&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004&SUBSYS_00081AF4 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004&CC_010000 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004&CC_0100 Compatible IDs: PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1004 PCI\VEN_1AF4&CC_010000 PCI\VEN_1AF4&CC_0100 PCI\VEN_1AF4 PCI\CC_010000 PCI\CC_0100 -- Best regards, Gena

NUMA placement failed, performance might be affected
by Chris Wik 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

I just did a yum update on a CentOS 7 / Xen 4.6 server which took me from kernel-3.18.34-20.el7.x86_64 -> kernel-3.18.44-20.el7.x86_64 After rebooting, the following notice is printed immediately upon xl create'ing a domain: libxl: notice: libxl_numa.c:499:libxl__get_numa_candidate: NUMA placement failed, performance might be affected Indeed performance is significantly degraded. This issue didn't happen on the older kernel.

Xen-4.4 branch End of Life
by Johnny Hughes 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

The CentOS VIrtualization Special Interest Group wants to remind everyone that the End of Life for the Xen-4.4 branch (currently 4.4.4-19) will be March 31st, 2017. This is because the Xen Project will no longer support Xen-4.4 after that date, based on this link: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features Xen-4.6 is still available and will be maintained until October 2018 (on both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7) and Xen-4.8 will be available soon. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
