2016-12-06 Thread Kevin Buckley
I have a CentOS (6.8) box running as Dom0 that uses

xen-4.6.3-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
kernel-3.18.44-20.el6.x86_64.rpm

and friends from the virt repo.

I can get a basic X environment (Vesa driver) when running in non-Xen mode
but, when booting into the hypervisor, that fails.

I've tried one suggestion, adding a nopat to the kernel invocation, but that
hasn't helpd although I'm sure the full suggestion, which I can no longer find,
also mentioned an "mtrr" addition as well.

I'm also sure believe I even saw someone get pointed to some "aftermarket"
xorg-x11 RPMs that claimed to work better with the Xen4CentOS environment
than the standard ones.

My ability to search the interweb thing and find this info has clearly fallen to
an all time low, so, does anyone on here have a better memory than I do, as
regards that stuff ? (Assuming i didn't dream it!)

Hi,

I've got an LXC container running. Essentially, only core, and
openssh-server installed inside the container. Got a shell with
lxc-attch -n "containername", but unable to run
system-config-firewall.
Any ideas, what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Jochen

 I have XP, 2003 and Win7 with virtio drivers, and the CPU does go idle on
 all of them when Windows is doing nothing. 
Are we talking about virtual machine's CPU that goes idle or host cpu
that goes idle (i.e. host OS load decreasing) when virtual machine does
nothing?

 However, Windows is often not
 doing nothing; make sure that you have volume indexing, for example, 
 turned off.

I was running XP installed directly onto the CentOS 6.3 guest, and two problems 
occurred: 1) the guest ran like a dog, and 2) the host ran as many cores at 
100% as I had cores in the guest. 

Both problems were fixed by loading the virtio drivers for disk and network.

Windows is installed without ACPI, this way the CPU does not get IDLE 
instructions and Windows uses all vCPU time it can get.
I don't know why ACPI is deactivated by default - some say performance
without ACPI is higher, some say because of compatibility - anyway you
have to choose between high load of host machine's CPU at ALL time or
the best performance of Windows virtual machine when under load.

My choice is to enable ACPI on windows virtual machines and the problem
is solved.

#virsh edit WinXP

acpi/

  /features


You should have acpi/ in features. If you don't - add it.

Another way to add it is to open virtual machine manager (virt-manager),
open virtual machine there, go to 'details' (button with blue 'i' on
it), look in 'overview' screen, open 'Machine Settings', mark 'enable
ACPI' there.

Best regards,
Dmitry Mikhailov.



 Anyway, try to install the latest virtio drivers for Windows if you 
 don't already have.

You have to remember, or at least as I understand it, that a load of 1 is full 
for a single CPU/core.  Since you have 24, a full load would be 24.

Linux gets even weirder with more cores.  I have one system that has 64 
cores... and it has a lot of threads/process running just to support those.

Another thing that uses quite a bit of CPU is ksm.  If you don't have a number 
of similar VMs then I don't think it is very helpful... and it seems to eat up 
quite a bit of CPU resources trying to be helpful.

Ok, now the uber-CentOS geeks can tell me how stupid I am. Mmmm... go.

 On an otherwise completely idle system I've noticed the load to be 1.0 to
 1.5 range.  Running top shows the culprit to be: qemu-kvm.
 
 Is this normal behavior?  I would have expected the load to be pretty light.
 
 Stopping the VM restores the load to normal once again.
 
 Is there anything I can do to reduce the load?

I've also heard that older versions of Windows don't put the CPU to 
idle mode even when there is nothing to do. It is a known problem with 
older Windows kernels.

Anyway, try to install the latest virtio drivers for Windows if you 
don't already have.

Thats a bit silly. If we did something like that, USA would have no 
email worth talking about given that most spam worldwide originates from 
there.

Also, can you consider usign a better email client ? Something more 
mailing list friendly would be nice. It would allow you to trim the 
replies and bottom post. Otoh, I am sure the spammer is quite happy 
about your further promoting the url they were trying to get attention to.
