[Bug 537310] New: xen: unable to start a new instance
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537310 Summary: xen: unable to start a new instance Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: SLES 10 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: roeland@linux-it.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-2.1 Firefox/3.5.2 This probably affects all SLE versions as well as OpenSUSE versions. A HP blade, running SLE10SP2 is set up as a XEN host. We tried to add an XEN host but failed to do so. (There were already 6 running) Error: Device 51712 (vbd) could not be connected. losetup $lo_flags $loopdev $file Looking at logs shows: boot.omsg: <6>loop: loaded (max 8 devices) this default causes on a XEN host some problems to a point where you obviously cannot add another xen instance. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add xen virtual instances 2.keep on adding until the error comes up (here it was at 6 devices) 3.it happens when starting the vm. Actual Results: Error: Device 51712 (vbd) could not be connected. losetup $lo_flags $loopdev $file Expected Results: it just should start it appears to be bound to the max of loop devices as per default. A workaround could be is to change the default of 8 to a higher value. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
