Internal and external domains on one host
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hi Everyone, Would I be crazy to use one physical box to run a few internal Xen domU (stuff for the LAN), and use the same host to run a few domU in a DMZ (website, mail, etc.)? Besides the fact that a DoS attack on the DMZ domU could slow the domU on the LAN side down to a crawl, is there anything else that I should be concerned about? I have a small home office, and want to consolidate my three servers to two. Besides saving some electricity, the box in the DMZ is old and slow - the one I want to consolidate to is _much_ better. The better server is already running Xen and a few domU, actually. Has anyone done this? A little part of me says it would be fool hardy, but I can be convinced otherwise! Thanks in advance, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 16:37:22 up 4 days, 5:24, 2 users, load average: 0.84, 0.71, 0.59

Andrew, Ninny, thanks a lot for your reply! I'm collecting data (configurations and logs) from different tests I've made and then I'll post everything in order to let you better analyze my issue.

Asterisk and passing a TDM400P card to a DomU

Hi guys, I'm trying to use a TDM400P PCI card in a DomU host however when I insert the modules for the PCI card to the asterisk DomU, I get the following: Jan 17 22:13:48 asterisk kernel: Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196 Jan 17 22:13:48 asterisk kernel: Zaptel Version: 1.4.0 Echo Canceller: MG2 Jan 17 22:13:53 asterisk kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:00.0 (0000 -> 0003) Jan 17 22:13:53 asterisk kernel: Freshmaker version: 73 Jan 17 22:13:53 asterisk kernel: Freshmaker passed register test Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: Module 0: Not installed Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: Module 1: Not installed Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: Module 2: Not installed Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: Module 3: Installed -- AUTO FXO (AUSTRALIA mode) Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: Found a Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV I (1 modules) Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: Registered tone zone 1 (Australia) Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: TDM PCI Master abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk last message repeated 3100 times Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: TDM Pr ar abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: r abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: <r aborr abor aborr abortr abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: r abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: <r abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: r abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: r abort Jan 17 22:13:54 asterisk kernel: <r abortr abort <<< repeated many, many times >>> This seems to happen until I unload the module.

4gb seg fixup, process on FC6 domU
by Karl Guenther 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, I have read through the threads on the 4gb seg fixup. Both Xen and beagle are important to me for day to day use. I boot into FC6 Xen and beagle seems to work but I am not sure what the 4gb seg fixup messages are all about. Are they just warning messages? Is anything failing that I should know about as a user of both Xen and beagle? Thank You Karl Guenther

DomU problem with tap:aio and xvdN.
by Gary W. Smith 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hello, In a nutshell, I can't get DomU's to work with xvdN and tap:aio under FC6.2869. I have also tried to get them to work with XenSource 3.0.4. I've been asking this in the xen-users group but I haven't had any positive response. I have the following DomU's that I'm testing with: FC4/5/6, CentOS4. In general, they all seem to have the same problems. The problem is that when I reference the FC6 Xen boot kernel in the kernel config line for the DomU it kernel panics. I have copied /lib/modules/* (FC6 and XenSource) to the DomU as well for testing. If I do sdN and file it all works fine, but only for XenSource kernel. At the Dom0 level we are booting to FC.2869 and only referencing the XenSource 3.0.4 images at the DomU config file level. Am I missing something fundamental? I have also ran into this problem with the jailtime.org images as well.

Re: Using a FC6 Guest as Internet gateway, proxy etc
by Jim Klein 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

We are doing this now and have been very happy with it. In fact, we have a VM that is NAT routing from a private to a public subnet, which is forwarding to another VM that is routing/transparent proxy to the internet, all through bridged interfaces. All of our host systems are blades on the private subnet. -- Jim Klein Director Information Services & Technology LPIC1, CNA/CNE 4-6, RHCT/RHCE Saugus Union School District http://www.saugus.k12.ca.us "Finis Origine Pendet" Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 01:23:17 +1100 From: Phil Rhoades < phil(a)pricom.com.au > Subject: [Fedora-xen] Using a FC6 Guest as Internet gateway, proxy etc To: fedora-xen(a)redhat.com Message-ID: < 1168870997.10412.10.camel(a)prix.pricom.com.au > Content-Type: text/plain People, Now that I can create FC6 Guests running on FC6 quite happily I am thinking of using a very stripped down, minimal Guest as the Internet gateway, proxy etc for the host machine such that the Guest has the real IP address and the host machine is using a typical private IP address eg 192.168.0.10 - is anyone else doing this successfully?
