Hi, I'm new to Xen. I booted my Solaris machine (snv_86 on a Tyan S2882-D, dual-dual-core (Opteron 275s), 24GB DRAM, / is on a SCSI drive, also have a ZFS pool on 4 SATA drives) under Xen for the first time a few days ago, and quickly ran into problems. Before I even installed any domUs, I started a build of a large C++ app I work on, the build tree being on the ZFS filesystem, and after a few minutes it hung. My recollection (slightly fuzzy now) is that I couldn't access the ZFS pool after that. I had no problem with the root filesystem, but when I tried to sync in preparation to reboot, the sync hung. I had to use the reset button.
I had no time for more experiments and needed to get my build done, so I booted back into metal Solaris, and haven't had time to repeat the experiment. Still, this is discouraging to say the least, as far as the possibility of using Xen goes. Anyone know what's going on? I've been running Solaris on this machine for a couple of years without a hitch, so I don't think it's a hardware problem. -- Scott This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
