[CentOS-virt] Packet loss between Xen machines
We are experiencing some packet loss between xen machines which we haven't seen before. Is this a problem anyone's run into before and/or has ideas on how to diagnose the issue? The setup is CentOS 5 xen-3.0.3-80.el5_3.3 Aaron ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Re: [CentOS-virt] Packet loss between Xen machines
Pinging from one domU other domUs shows dropped packets, which is how we initially discovered something odd was going on. It also happens pinging to the domUs from other physical machines. netstat -i in dom0 shows dropped packets (TX-DRP) on the vif devices. Within the domUs it comes back with zeros. It only seems to happen under fairly heavy load. The machines in question are on the same bridge xen. That bridge has separate subnets and one domU is a router that routes between them (and performs LVS functions).

Re: [CentOS-virt] Packet loss between Xen machines
Unfortunately no, not on dom0 nor on the domU that is the router (that one did hit the conntrack limit not too long ago, so it was one of the first things we checked). Checked dmsg and /var/log/messages on all of the domUs and didn't see anything network or hardware related.

I have followed this http://www.ruslansivak.com/index.cfm/Xen to install xen-dom0 Those are not the officially released CentOS rpms. Hopefully, someone responds to your comment there. Otherwise, if you do not need Xen 3.2, just yum groupinstall Virtualization. jerry There are also RPMs I've looked at but not yet tried hosted here: http://www.gitco.de/repo/ Has anyone else here given them a try?
