[Xen-API] xenserver-core meta-question

2013-10-29 Thread John Morris
I've been playing with xenserver-core now for over two weeks, and I've solved quite a handful of problems. The rate at which new ones are cropping up, though, is a little more than I can handle alone. I've posted about quite a number of them, but the few responses I've received indicate that nobo

Next problem: the VM console proxy exits immediately, resulting in a tight loop that eats up about 1/3 of the CPU. Below is 1.5 cycles pasted from the debug log. John http://pastebin.ca/2472371 > Oct 29 00:51:45 xen27 stunnel: LOG5[13264:140387376142272]: stunnel 4.29 on > x86_64-re

m was noticeably snappier, triggering this race condition to where it was difficult to boot two VMs in a row (annoying when a single failure required the machine to be power-cycled to recover!). John On 10/28/2013 12:23 PM, John Morris wrote: > On 10/27/2013 11:44 PM, John Morris wro

This problem crops up occasionally when booting a vm. I haven't figured out how to repeat it. Host is Scientific Linux 6; technology preview plus snapshot repositories; 64-bit Phenom; ceph 0.67.4 from ceph.com repos. During an 'xe vm-start', pygrub attaches a vm's root vdi in the dom0. The opera

(I was asking XCP questions on the xen-users ML and was sent over here. My questions were answered, so I won't repeat them, but something came out of it that may be useful to folks here. The following is an excerpt from a message on that list. Hope it's useful.) I wrote up a cookbook to aut
