1. That's not me, that's  Jurgen. Thanks him (xen-discuss@opensolaris.org).
I just always watch his threads.

2. Your PV guests performance is determined by block-device backend driver and network-device backend driver compiled built-in Suse's 2.6.27.X xenified kernel running in Dom0. I guess so, because you worked with Suse's dnsmask DHCP Server. Second your question is also addressed to a wrong
person. Personally, i always avoid Novell's products and solutions, except
Andrew Lyon's rebased patch set ;). Yast seems to me like a wisard from MS Windows.
  Just go ahead and upgrade yours Xen Host via zypper ( or something like
this).  Jan Beulich seems to be a person to respond your questions in open source discussion. Otherwise, purchase SLES 11 and Novell will support
you. I mean all Xen patches will come to your box legally.

Boris.

Dear Boris,

 

Based on your given information, I have managed to configure static IP 
address inside OpenSolaris UNIX PV guest.

 

These are the two crucial lines:

 

echo 192.168.1.45 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492 > 
/etc/hostname.xnf0

echo 192.168.1.102 > /etc/defaultrouter

 

Please see screenshot here:

 


http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/Sm21uPKvVXI/AAAAAAAAAKU/NDQqKSld5v4/s1600-h/03.jpeg

 

May I know whether there are any PV device drivers for me to install to 
improve PV guests' performance? What are the recommended benchmark tools to 
measure I/O performance of PV guests?

 

Thank you!!!

  Dear Boris,
  
   
  
  I have to use static IP instead of dhcp because we are going to run 
servers.
  
   
  
  I have managed to enable GNOME GUI and solved the DNS resolver issue 
based on the following guides:

  I shall now work on hard coding static IP.

        1) I need to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup so that it will launch a GUI 
interface instead of a text console. During installation, I was able to copy 
.Xclients to xstartup but after installation, .Xclients do not exist anymore 
under my personal account. I have configured vncserver before in Linux and I 
was able to port the GNOME desktop to my remote vnc client.

1) It's easy to to grab content of .Xclients just simulating 
new install and

http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=104509&tstart=75
          

          
To switch OSOL DomU run with static IP at runtime:-
          

          
pfexec svcadm disable network/physical:nwam && \
          
pfexec svcadm enable  network/physical:default
          
pfexec ifconfig xnf0 down

pfexec ifconfig xnf0 up
          
pfexec route add default 192.168.1.45
          

          
To make the settings permanent you also need:
          

          
echo 192.168.1.45 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492 >

            Dear All,
            
             
            
            I am now able to run OpenSolaris 2009.06 32-bit 
paravirtualized on Xen 3.4.1-rc8 Dom 0 Kernel 2.6.30-rc6 on OpenSUSE 11.1 
32-bit.
            
             
            
            However, there are still some outstanding configuration 
issues as I am not very familiar with Solaris UNIX. I am more of a Linux 
guy.
              

            
             
            
            1) I need to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup so that it will launch a 
GUI interface instead of a text console. During installation, I was able to 
copy .Xclients to xstartup but after installation, .Xclients do not exist 
anymore under my personal account. I have configured vncserver before in 
Linux and I was able to port the GNOME desktop to my remote vnc client.
              

            
             
            
            2) I could not hard code IP address (static definition, not 
dhcp) and network settings inside OpenSolaris like what I usually do in 
Linux. It seems that configuring /etc/hostname.xnf0 did not help. My VM's 
actual hostname is "opensolaris", so do I change that to 
/etc/opensolaris.xnf0? After OpenSolaris PV guest boots up, I had to 
manually configure the IP address, netmask and default route.
              

            
             
            
            3) Configuring name servers in /etc/resolv.conf inside 
Solaris did not work. But I could still go out to the internet by pinging 
the IP addresses of Singapore's Starhub and Singnet ISP DNS servers. Just 
that name resolution didn't work on Solaris.

            More questions:
            
             
            
            4) Are there any paravirtualized device drivers/tools I can 
install inside PV guests to enhance VM's performance? Like VMware tools?
            
             
            
            5) Are there any benchmarking tools to measure I/O 
throughput of my PV guests?
            
             
            
            Thank you very much.

              Dear Boris,
              
               
              
              I used the same ethernet network bridge in both 
installation and actually running of the pv guest. During installation, 
dhcpdiscover was sent out by the opensolaris pv guest. Dom 0 also sent out 
DHCPOFFER. However, opensolaris pv guest could not configure the virtual 
network interface using dhcp. So I had to manually configure the virtual 
network interface.

dynamic IP address assignment from the dnsmasq dhcp server I have setup and

 which i can/do @ 
installer time to use static IP assignements.  i just
                                            
 can't seem to get them to 
'stick' or 'be happy' after reboot and xen,
                                            
 run-time launch.
                                            

                                            
 Use the same commands 
with the installed system.
                                            

                                            
 To make the settings 
permanent you also need (Jurgen Keil) :

                                                   At the moment there is only 
one network card installed on my lab PC in my company running OpenSUSE 11.1 
32-bit with Xen 3.4.1-rc8 Dom 0 kernel 2.6.30-rc6 (jeremy). So when there 
are more network cards installed, there will be eth0, eth1, eth2 ethernet 
bridges, etc.
                                                    

                                                    
 Then I can assign 
the virtual network card in each virtual machine to a specific ethernet 
network bridge (out of many bridges) in Domain 0 using the vif command in 
guest domain configuration.

 The ethernet 
network bridge on OpenSUSE 11.1 is eth0.

  This means that OSOL installer (by default ) will issue 
DHCPDISCOVER via your Xen bridge, looking for DHCP server on your LAN. Only 
on RHEL 5.3
                                                        
 (F10 with Xen 
3.3.1 src.rpm been installed along with generated packages) with libvirtd 
& dnsmasq up and running you can specify
                                                        
 
 vif=['bridge=virbr0' ] to detect DHCP Server at your Dom0.

 I don't have 
any experience with OpenSuse 11.1 . I hardly remind they tried to reproduce 
RH's technology. Most probably they did it in SLES 11 (not sure). Check for 
libvirtd&dnsmasq daemons up and running.
                                                        
 But if your 
OpenSuse 11.1 Dom0 is on "dhcp" bridge itself , then no problems. Just 
vif=['bridge=eth0'].

 This means 
I have to install a DHCP server or dnsmasq in my Dom 0, listening on my Dom 
0's IP address, so that it can assign dynamic IP addresses to the DomU.
                                                          

                                                          
 By the way, 
are there any paravirtualized device drivers that I can install in DomU to 
improve the performance of the virtual machine?
                                                          

                                                          
 Thank

 Dear All,
                                                                

                                                                
 I am 
trying to install OpenSolaris 2009.06 32-bit paravirtualized guest on 
OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit paravirt-ops enabled Xen 3.4.1-rc8 Dom 0 Kernel 
2.6.30-rc6.
                                                                

                                                                
 
However, I am getting an opensolaris console login prompt. There is no GNOME 
DE for me to launch the GUI installer for OpenSolaris. I am using the 
OpenSolaris LiveCD 32-bit.
                                                                

                                                                
 I 
noticed under the guest domain configuration there is a parameter called 
'extra' kernel parameter. Does the 'nowin' argument stand for no graphical 
windows?

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmoT5uzjF6I/AAAAAAAAAFU/2Y3KNWPUwWk/s1600-h/05.jpeg

                                                                

                                                                
 Then 
I also get the "invalid disk device number (768)" error. Do I need to use 
xvda instead of hda?
                                                                

                                                                
 Thank 
you very much.

 takes just 12-14 hr even at slow ADSL speed ( like 100 KB/sec).
                                                                        
 Install takes 30 minutes and brings you to the trusted results, instead

  My colleague installed 
OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit on the Core 2 Duo machine in our labs. Please see my 
earlier replies in the same topic.  
                                                                          

                                                                        

                                                                        

                                                                          
    
                                                                          

                                                                        

                                                                        

                                                                          
  I was too lazy to reformat 
and install 64-bit OpenSUSE, so I proceeded with Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel 
compilation on 32-bit Linux host.  
                                                                          

                                                                        

                                                                        

                                                                          
    
                                                                          

                                                                        

                                                                        

                                                                          
  I admit I am getting a lot 
of headache. Haha.

 Why it wouldn't ? If your image stays  the same.

What causes the PV guest initially cannot start? Then what >subsequently

 That is not supposed to happen. I would suggest clean OS 
(without any built in xen presence) install , followed by  Xen 
3.4.1+pvops kernel clean install.

            Then I proceeded to "make 
uninstall" in xen-3.4-testing source tree, which also removed my self 
compiled Xen Dom 0 pvops enabled kernel, initrd and kernel modules.  

                                                                             
           
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
              
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
            After doing the above, I 
re-installed back the Xen hypervisor, libraries and tools, and also the 
kernel, initrd, and modules. Then I proceeded to reboot my machine. After 
rebooting, my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is still able to start and run! 

                                                                             
           
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
              
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
         
                                                                             
            I am still very puzzled! What 
causes the PV guest initially cannot start? Then what subsequently causes 
the PV guest to suddenly be able to start and run???

            Anyway my CentOS 4.7 guest

             It's very strange. Suddenly 
my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is able to start!!! Previously it refuses to 
start at all. 
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
               
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
             I think I must have changed 
something in Dom 0 when I attempted "yast --install virt-manager". This 
action might have solved the problem. When I tried to install virt-manager, 
it also tries to install xen-libs-3.3.1 and xen-tools-3.3.1 as dependencies. 
However, I started off my Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel install with Xen 3.4.1 rc8 
branch. 
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
               
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
           
                                                                             
             I need to investigate more 
why suddenly my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is able to start.

               I realized that Fedora 10 
32-bit anaconda installer does not install PAE kernel after mounting the 
guest disk image file. I mounted the guest disk image file using losetup and 
kpartx which adds device nodes to /dev/mapper. I examined the /boot 
directory after mounting the guest disk image file and found no PAE vmlinuz 
and initrd. 
                                                                             
               
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
                 
                                                                             
               
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
               Still using the mounted 
Fedora 10 32-bit guest disk image file, I changed root to the guest disk 
filesystems and attempted to install the PAE kernel. Then I modified 
menu.lst to boot the PAE kernel. After modifying the grub configuration of 
the guest domain, I un-mounted the guest filesystem. 
                                                                             
               
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
                 
                                                                             
               
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
             
                                                                             
               I proceeded to boot the F10 
32-bit guest, since I changed to PAE kernel. It is able to boot now (since 
the PAE kernel is xen-aware) but then it complains cannot mount /dev/root. 
Probably something to do with the PAE initrd file.
