Hey all,
I have 9 Windows XP guests running on a KVM host. The host is
Slackware 13.1 x86_64 with kernel 2.6.35.11.
All the guests are being accessed using the built-in RDP server in
Windows XP. This worked perfectly with qemu-kvm 0.13.0, but with
0.14.0 the connection is dropped every 5-10 minutes.
This is the command used to start the guests:
/opt/qemu-0.13.0/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name fdacs1sa1_15,
process=fdacs1sa1_15 \
-pidfile /var/run/kvm/15.pid \
-drive
file=/storage_slow_one/fd_acs2_sa2.raw,snapshot=off,if=virtio,media=disk,cache=none,format=raw,boot=on
\
-monitor unix:/var/run/kvm/15.monitor,server,nowait \
-cpu qemu64 \
-smp 1 \
-m 512 \
-k da \
-vnc :15 \
-rtc base=localtime,clock=host \
-tdf \
-net nic,macaddr=de:ad:be:ef:00:15,model=virtio \
-net tap,ifname=tap_15,script=no,downscript=no \
-runas kvm \
-daemonize \
-usbdevice tablet
The virtio drivers used are virtio-win-1.1.16.
Access via the qemu-kvm VNC interface does not experience these
connection drops. There are no visible errors in the Windows XP
guests.
Now, since I don't have any issues with qemu-kvm 0.13.0, it is not a
problem for me to go back to using this version instead of the new
0.14.0.
So:
2.6.35.11 + 0.13.0 = Flawless operation. It just hums along.
2.6.35.11 + 0.14.0 = The connection to the internal Windows XP RDP
server breaks every 5-10 minutes.
Anybody else who've experienced something similar?
Regards,
Thomas Løcke
