Re: [CentOS-virt] CentOS 6 Virt SIG Xen 4.6 packages available in centos-virt-xen-testing

Its my impression that as a general rule from RH once some software has been released into a major release any further release of that software does not change major version or fundamental features.. For C6 I would argue Xen 4.2 should stay packaged as xen and Xen 4.4 be packaged as xen44 ...

[CentOS-virt] DomU Guests not shutting down nicely when Dom0 Hypervisor shuts down

I am using Xen 4.6.0-8.el7 on CentOS 7 with 3 Linux DomUs. I did have Xen 4.? on CentOS 6.5 on my previous system. I installed using yum install centos-release-xen. On shutting down the Hypervisor it used to wait for the DomUs to shut down gracefully (one can take a minute or more), then on

Hi Francis. Personally I would gracefully shutdown all the VM’s first, before attempting to shutdown the xen hypervisor. Are you getting any fsck errors when restarting those VM’s? Kind Regards, Keith On 21 Jan 2016, at 08:48, Francis Greaves wrote: > I am using Xen

This is a community SIG .. and xenproject.org does NOT release XSAs for 4.2. The goal of Xen4centOS was to use an upstream LTS kernel and update those as required to stay on an LTS. Also to do every second point release of xen (ie, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6). All so we are longer term than upstream, BUT we
