Re: Citrix Xenserver and FreeBSD migration/suspend scripts
Another little thing... I'm now on holidays and when I opened this scripts I was a little busy but I plan to write a port on September/October with them. Regards, El 09/08/2012, a las 02:49, moto kawasaki m...@kawasaki3.org escribió: Hello Mr. Mark Felder, I'd say thank you again and again for your scripts. I am running several XenServer machines and dozens of amd64/HVMXEN VMs, hence longing to have XenTools for FreeBSD for months. Now I am going to have a test run of those scripts, and wish to do something I can do to make it a ports. Thank you very much. -- moto kawasaki m...@kawasaki3.org ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

So is the mode that we are currently working in referred to as pure HVM ? I also hear about PV HVM and purely PV. I guess in PV HVM, we use a XEN configuration file and run on a machine supporting virtualization and currently 64 bit machines can only be run this way ? Can some one confirm if my understanding is right. Thanks arvind ___ For full PV support, you can only use a 32bit version of FreeBSD 8 and higher via the XEN kernel config. For HVM mode you can use 64bit FreeBSD 8 and higher with the XENHVM kernel config. There is no PV support in 64bit mode at this time.

I imagine we need to investigate what version the tools are on other platforms and emulate that version accordingly. 2) Shutdown button on XenCenter works but doesn't complete. I guess XenServer/XenCenter expect something like shutdown -p now on the FreeBSD VM, but actually it runs like shutdown -h now. Thus, FreeBSD VM has shut down, but doesn't cut its power, thus XenCenter remains on the way shutting down (VM icon stays in green, not goes to red.). I haven't looked to see how this is handled at all, but I bet it's something we can fix. 3) Moving VM from one member host to another in the pool works. wow!! Thanks for giving us another confirmation! ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Also in case of 64 bit, its mentioned that if xen drivers are supported performance improves ? Any numbers on the improvement on that was achieved with and without the xen drivers ? Thanks Arvind *IF* you are booting a 64bit FreeBSD vm, it will be HVM until you recompiled using the XENHVM kernel config to build and install a new kernel.
