[CentOS-virt] CentOS 6
Will Xen4Centos on CentOS 6 be supported all the way through its EOL (November 30th, 2020)? If not when will it stop being supported/updated under this SIG? Thanks. -Gene ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
[CentOS-virt] CentOS 6 domU console issue
Howdy, I'm having an issue with the console for CentOS 6 domUs. When I boot the domU I can see the console just fine. After grub has made its selection I get these errors: xenconsole: Could not open tty `': No such file or directory libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: console child [0] exited with error status 2 After that the boot process continues fine and I'm able to sign into the console of the domU instance. However, when I close the console my command prompt doesn't work properly anymore, keypresses aren't printed to the screen. This problem is nearly identical to this issue: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-01/msg02259.html However, for my situation xenconsoled is running. Has anyone else encountered this issue? $ rpm -aq | egrep xen\|centos-release centos-release-xen-6-4.el6.centos.x86_64 xen-licenses-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-hypervisor-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-libs-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-runtime-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 centos-release-6-6.el6.centos.12.2.x86_64 -Gene ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Re: [CentOS-virt] CentOS 6 domU console issue
Correction: My issue is exactly the same. I didn't see the follow-up message: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-01/msg02329.html Additionally, this only happens when booting the domU. If I connect to the console for an already running domU this problem does not occur. -Gene On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 3:07 PM, Gene g...@udder.org wrote: Howdy, I'm having an issue with the console for CentOS 6 domUs.

Re: [CentOS-virt] Using network-script with Xen 4.4.1 (aka what will I do without xend?)
I have seen those documents, I did not see anything that indicates how _automatic_ bridge configuration could be enabled with xl. For my specific set up I have two bridges (xenbr0 - peth0 xenbr1 - peth1). If I have to configure this manually with ifcfg scripts I will, but if an automatic method is provided or is possible with xl I'd prefer to use that. -Gene On Thu, Jan 29, 2015 at 4:07 AM, Lars Kurth lars.kurth@gmail.com wrote: Gene, I think you should find the answers in * http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt (bottom of page) * http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Migration_Guide_To_Xen4.1%2B http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Migration_Guide_To_Xen4.1+ * http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Network_Configuration_Examples_%28Xen_4.1%2B%29 http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Network_Configuration_Examples_(Xen_4.1+) * http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/XL_vs_Xend_Feature_Comparison may also be relevant If not, circle back to the list and I am sure someone else will be able to answer Regards Lars On 29 Jan 2015, at 08:39, Gene gh5...@gmail.com wrote: I normally use the network-script parameter in the '/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp' configuration file to configure network bridges.

I know I can just enable xend to continue using this script, but since Xen 4.5 is apparently dropping xend altogether I figure I should change my standard configuration starting now.

Re: [CentOS-virt] Free Mem
Is the system BIOS showing 18 GB of memory? What happens when you boot outside of Xen? Do you see all 18 GB of memory? (`cat /proc/meminfo` or `free -m`) -Gene On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 9:14 AM, Deron fecas...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I am not sure if this is the correct Mailing list for the issue I have.
