xen guest eth1 tun interface goes to the wrong bridge
by Thomas von Steiger
Hello,
We have setup 6 xen guests VT(rhel3) on dmo0 FC5 and for each guest there
are 2 network interfaces eth0/eth1.
Now if we start the xen guests all the tun interfaces for eth1 goes to
xenbr1 and not do the defined bridge tsmbr1 oder tsmbr2 ?
Where are the scripts for setup tun interface ?
Has anybody a solution for this problem ?
2 Guests have this vif config:
vif = [ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr1,mac=02:00:00:00:01:01',
'type=ioemu,bridge=tsmbr1,mac=02:00:00:00:01:02' ]
And 2 guest have this vif config:
vif = [ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr1,mac=02:00:00:00:01:09',
'type=ioemu,bridge=tsmbr2,mac=02:00:00:00:01:10' ]
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces

source for building kernel-xen0 ?
by Huei-Ping Chen
Hi,
I am a newbie here, and I have installed fedora core 5, xen, xen0, xenU on
my thinkpad laptop, follows the quick start guide, I can bring up guest
xenU, everything works fine, including networking.
now I want to learn more about xen, and want to build everything from
scartch,
there are some rpm comes with fedora 5, like some kernel-xen-devel package,
but it only include the headers file, no C codes at all,
so I googled though every where, but I could ot find the source RPM for that,
the only xen source I can find is xen-3.o.???.src.rpm, which builds kernel
ends with "xen", not "xen0",
so I am wondering where do I find the source or building xen0 ? or, I should
just use the "xen-3.o.???.src.rpm" ?
thanks,

Guest install wedges host
by Jason Dillon
Hi, I was just setting up Xen for the first time on FC5, which was
relatively easy... the most trouble was knowing to disable selinux so
that xend would start up properly on boot. After I set it to
permissive it looked good, and I started to install a FC5 guest. /
usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py started up the installation (which was
pulled from http from a host next to the xen host, serving a mounted
FC-5-x86_64-DVD.iso) and it got as far as the dialog telling me that
it may take a while to initialize, and then it wedged the Xen host.
The host was fully updated to the latest patches as of today. At
this point the machine is hosed, and is gonna need someone to power-
cycle it to get it back to life, which unfortunately probably won't
happen until monday at the earliest.
I am just curious if anyone else has run into similar issues, or if
there are any known work arounds?
# uname -a
Linux butters 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5xen0 #1 SMP Mon Sep 11 01:51:30 EDT
2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The machine has like 15g of memory, almost 100g of disk and 4 dual
core cpus (which the kernel sees as 8 cpus).
I'd really like to use Xen... instead of VMware... though I it is
going to be hard to debug since this machine is like 300 miles from
me with crummy support, so if it wedges again, its another few days
to kick it.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks,

debugging xenguest-install
by Aron Griffis
I'm attempting to install rawhide to a domU using xenguest-install.
However it hangs on "Searching for Fedora Core installations..."
This is paravirt on ia64. The installation is running on the xen
(text) console, so there appears to be no way to access the debugging
information anaconda would be stashing on the other virtual consoles,
or in /tmp.
xm list shows domU is spinning; the CPU time is climbing steadily.
Debugging suggestions?
Thanks,

vTPM on 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5
by Osborn, Justin D.
Hello,
I'm working on a project which involves getting the vTPM set up
with Xen. However while building the latest kernel rpm
(2.6.17-1.2174_FC5) I noticed that the vTPM front end driver is not
included. I downloaded Xen from xensource and the vTPM front end driver
is included, however Xen 3.0.2 builds off of the 2.6.16 kernel which
doesn't have TPM v1.2 support. I thought about just patching the vTPM
front end driver into 2.6.17 but when I looked at Xen's vTPM backend
driver code and the Fedora version, the Fedora version was much newer
and had a lot of changes.
So what's the best thing to do? Should I try to patch 1.2 TPM support
into 2.6.16 or try to bring the vTPM front end driver support into
2.6.17? Is there a more recent FC5 kernel that has the vTPM front end
driver support?
Thanks,
Justin
