[opensuse-virtual] Xen live migration and xen-kmp issues
Hello, I have four Xen servers running Xen 4.0.1 hypervisor and OpenSuSE 11.4 for Dom0. I have a NFS server hosting all DomU images exported to all Xen servers. Most of my DomU's are OpenSuSE but various versions. Most DomU's are paravirtualised, though there are some less important old (2.4 kernel) DomU's that are fully virtualised. I noticed that if I reduce the number of VPCU's available to an OpenSuSE DomU, live migration of that DomU doesn't succeed - it migrates, but the resulting DomU on the target server is not responsive and is using up 100% of CPU (doing 'nothing'). The same happens if I use 'vcpu_avail' or 'maxvcpus' to start the DomU with a lower number of VCPU's, while still being able to add some later. No errors are logged in /var/log/xen/* and live migration works for Centos DomU's, which suggests that the problem is in the DomU (kernel)... Unfortunately I have no idea how to 'catch' what's going on there. Another issue is that even when live migration succeeds, the 'xm console' on the target Xen server is not working anymore for the migrated DomU. Then there's HVM and PV drivers I created an OpenSuSE 11.4 HVM DomU, which worked OK. But after installing xen-kmp-default, the DomU doesn't boot anymore. It loads the initrd, it also mounts the root filesystem, but then it 'hangs' at 'Loading drivers, configuring devices'. After a while, there is a shower of I/O errors: end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector XXXXXXXXX Other then installing the 'xen-kmp' packages, should I do something else?
