Just the short version.
We have a sun fire x4150 with a sun stk 2540 fc array.
Currently we use Nevada SXCE b108 (the problem has occurred in the past
with other builds but we was unable to track it down) with xvm core
(just the plain stuff without the bui and so) our guest are based on raw
devices on our san. We have several Gentoo Linux PV guests (kernel
2.6.27) one of them uses 8 logical cpus and has half scheduling weight
so it could be used for system hungry low priority stuff (e.g. some
simulations coded in java) so one of those simulation (started fife to
seven times to use the eight way multiprocessing) makes the whole
machine after some time running to fire a hardreset.
What do you mean by hard reset?
Look at the attached emails (send by ilom)
I don't see anything in the attachments?
That is really BAD.
So I would be glad to give you more details if needed, just ask (with
some detail where to look).
Yes please... :-) What are the guest configurations? (i.e. what
are you using for disks, NICs, etc). Do you have the xen and solaris
consoles redirected to the serial port? Do you see anything on the
serial console before the reboot?
Not tested so far, but I'll try to get something
Have you tried to load the kernel debugger?
Sorry, I'm really new to solaris so I will need definitely some help here.
In the menu.lst entry, you want something like...
kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz com1=9600,8n1 console=com1 dom0_mem=2g msi
module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix
/platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -k -B console=hypervisor
System has latest bios (the one which removes apm), what, so my feeling,
has reduced the occurrence of this strange behavior.
reduced or removed?
Afaik, latest bios for x4150 has removed apm support from the machines,
but review release notes online @suns website for more details.
Definitely it has made these machines able to run XVM Server EA3 (using
the mentioned workaround)
Does it make a difference on Nevada SXCE b108?
Thanks,
MRJ
