by Parakkal, Navin S 28 May '13

Hi, Can someone tell us what is the usual number of guests on a typical host in a production environment ? Has someone tested this ? What number does it scale to ? We have around 150 per host running fine. Regards, Navin

[libvirt-users] Help: Using Pre-created tap interfaces with Libvirt+Xen
by Raghu Nallamothu 25 May '13

25 May '13

Hi All., I am not sure if this is possible in xen via Libvirt, but what I am trying to do is, I want libvirt to launch a VM and attach a pre-created tap interface to that VM ( I do not want XEN to create one, as I am running a lot of custom scripts on my tap interface). I also dont want xen to attach this tap interface to a bridge. For example, lets say I have created a tap interface with name "tap123456" when libvirt launches my VM in xen, I want the VM to read its networking info from this tap interface. But I wasn't so successful in doing this when ever I am trying to do this, I am seeing the following error message "VmError: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working." and "error: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err 'Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Cannot rename interface vif4.0. An interface with name tap12345 already exists.')". But I dont want xen to create another interface and rename it, rather want xen to use the existing one === output of lsmod === bash-4.1# lsmod | grep xen xen_acpi_processor 4465 0 xen_netback 25455 0 [permanent] xen_gntdev 9504 2 xen_evtchn 4899 3 xenfs 2943 1 xen_privcmd 4972 19 xenfs ==== end of output ==== My Configuration : Centos 6.2 with Xen 4.2.5 along with Libvirt Libvirt Configuration file, <domain type='xen'> <name>raghu_12345</name> <uuid>12113325-d948-4a1b-b673-888a16b90726</uuid> <memory>1048576</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type>hvm</type> <loader>/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader</loader> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <features> <pae/> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <devices> <emulator>/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm</emulator> <interface type="ethernet"> <mac address='00:25:90:3f:25:91'/>  <target dev='tap123456'/> </interface> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='~/tmp/lucid.img'/> <target dev='hda'/> </disk> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> <graphics port='-1' type='vnc' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'/> </devices> </domain> I have a pre-created tap interface with name 'tap123456' with all the networking setup with dhcp and dns running.

[libvirt-users] hardware error 0x80000021 on Ubuntu 12.10, need advice
by Sebastien Douche 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hi, On a DELL r610 (Intel Xeon L5520) and a Windows guest I have an hardware error. The bug is well known[1][2] and seems fixed with the package 3.5.0-16-generic. But I use 3.5.0-30-generic. Do I need to upgrade to 13.10? Or just the kernel ? Or modify the options of the kvm module? Thanks.
