We had to pass a boot string of ad0p2 instead of the default ada0p2, and then edit fstab accordingly. I assume others here had to do that as well? Yes, but I think that's because with the XENHVM kernel the disks are using a different driver. There's a difference between the ad and ada drivers. 2) I'm sure this will show a lack of understanding on my part, but I'm just curious about the xen-tools port that has been in the ports collection for a little while. As per the pdf on the migration/suspend scripts, this needs to be installed first. I would think the current port - being called xen-tools, would/should include these migration/suspend scripts. It's not xen-tools (in Citrix parlance) without that capability. So, is this a case of the new scripts just finish off the work that went into the current xen-tools script and the xen-tools port in the ports collection is functionally incomplete? I guess I'm unclear as to the history/relationship/status of the xen-tools port and these migration/suspend scripts. This is likely where it will show up. I've been talking to the ports@ team and it seems to make sense that we include it in that port. 3) In some of my googling on 64 bit XENHVM how-to's, one of them (can't find it at the moment) mentioned 64 bit Freebsd not working right under Xen with regards to SMP, and the how-to offered several patches to disable SMP amongst other related items. To run the new migration/suspend scripts, did other people here need to use those patches? I have a feeling this is an old/resolved issue as I've not seen it yet. ___ 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

Re: Citrix Xenserver and FreeBSD migration/suspend scripts
Hi, Of course this should make into ports and some little news would also be good on the freebsd-stable list and the freebsd website also. This is a very big thing to have FreeBSD working fine under XenServer fine. What would you need to host the tarballs? I'm in a XenServer deployment project, kind of public cloud but small scale of course as we're not amazon, and we'd be also happy to evaluate and test it. It'd be very good to offer FreeBSD based VM-s also. Regards, Andras On 08/08/2012 04:31 PM, Mark Felder wrote: I've had a few positive responses off-list about this and the desire to get this into the ports tree somehow. Someone also had the original author's email address (he subscribes to this list), so I'm going to CC him on this email as well. We could probably get this into the ports tree relatively quickly. I've been working closely with the ports@ team recently, so it wouldn't take much effort in that respect. Some questions were brought up about what it should be named or if it should be a separate port and I don't know what the right answer here is, really. Perhaps emulators/xe-tools or emulators/xenserver-tools would be sufficient. I guess the first step would be to find some place to officially host the tarball and/or tag a release on github. As it stands things are fully functional, so getting this into the ports tree shouldn't be too big of a problem. Long term I'd like to see this cleaned up a bit more... it's quite the mess. Honestly, everything could (and should) be rolled into one shell script because there's really no need to have xe-daemon, xe-ip-if.sh, and xe-update-guest-attrs. For the record, xe-update-guest-attrs is the file with the Citrix/GPL header. It has the examples of how we should be calling the other xen-tools to report data to XenServer. Whether we concentrate on this script or a rewrite happens doesn't really matter to me; it's not a lot of code I'd just like to see all of these really awful hacks removed :-) Someone was asking about whether or not this was production-worthy. I really don't see why not. I suppose if this fails you'll just end up with a VM running without recognized tools again. I don't believe it's possible for the OS to crash from things these scripts run, and the ability to migrate/suspend Xen VMs is not reliant on these tools in a fully open source Xen environment; this is just a requirement Citrix imposes. Feel free to speak up if you have any thoughts or suggestions :-) Egoitz, can you confirm what license you originally released everything under? I'd like to properly honor that license if you had one in mind. ___ 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
