you have to limit dom0 memory on two places, xen hypervisor option and xend
 +
config. In this example below I limit memory to 256MB:
 +
 +
/boot/grub/menu.lst
 +
87c87
 +
< # xenhopt=
 +
---
 +
> # xenhopt=dom0_mem=256M

120c120
 +
< (dom0-min-mem 196)
 +
---
 +
> (dom0-min-mem 256)
 +
 +
After changing /boot/grub/menu.lst you have to run update-grub and reboot the
 +
machine.
 +
After changing /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp you have to restart xend
 +
with /etc/init.d/xend restart.
 +
 +
With this I have no more problems with my netback driver on my ~10 dom0s
 +
running plain Debian 4.0. (My biggest machine has a uptime of over 45 days
 +
and handles ~20 domUs. Also a lot of live migration are happening to and from
 +
this host.) So for me this bug doesn't "renders package unusable". I'm very
 +
happy with the xen packages from Debian 4.0 so i can setup a whole bunch of
 +
dom0s in a very short time.

Optional packages:

  • xen-docs-3.0
  • xen-shell

Network config

Before the reboot, a small change in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp should be done.

Replace

(network-script network-dummy)

bridge

(network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth0')

NAT

(network-script network-nat)
(vif-script     vif-nat)

Create /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables for port forwarding

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 10.0.1.1:80

chmod 755 /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables


If dom0 public interface is different to "eth0" change defaults in /etc/xen/scripts/*

reboot

Administration

Create image

xen-create-image --hostname vserver1.mydomain
or use with options
xen-create-image --hostname=vm1.domain.com --size=5Gb --swap=256Mb --ide \
--ip=192.168.0.101 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.0.1 --force \
--dir=/vserver --memory=32Mb --arch=i386 --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xenU \
--debootstrap --dist=etch --mirror=http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ --passwd

Boot

xm create /etc/xen/vserver1.mydomain.cfg

Console connect

xm console vserver1.mydomain

Other common commands

xm shutdown <name> - Stop a virtual machine.
xm destroy <name> - Stop a virtual machine immediately without shutting it down. It's as if you switch off the power button.
xm list - List all running systems.
xm help - List of all commands.


dom0 memory

you have to limit dom0 memory on two places, xen hypervisor option and xend config. In this example below I limit memory to 256MB:

/boot/grub/menu.lst

87c87
< # xenhopt=
---
> # xenhopt=dom0_mem=256M

/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp

120c120
< (dom0-min-mem 196)
---
> (dom0-min-mem 256)

After changing /boot/grub/menu.lst you have to run update-grub and reboot the machine. After changing /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp you have to restart xend with /etc/init.d/xend restart.

With this I have no more problems with my netback driver on my ~10 dom0s running plain Debian 4.0. (My biggest machine has a uptime of over 45 days and handles ~20 domUs. Also a lot of live migration are happening to and from this host.) So for me this bug doesn't "renders package unusable". I'm very happy with the xen packages from Debian 4.0 so i can setup a whole bunch of dom0s in a very short time.


Migrating CentOS VM from VMWare to Xen on a Debian Etch Dom0

On VMWare VM create a tar file

cd /
tar zcpf project-open.tgz --exclude=boot --exclude=proc --exclude=tmp/* --exclude=sys --exclude=var/cache/open

Copy tar file from VMWare to XEN LVM Logical Volume and expand it

cd /mnt/tmp
tar zxpf /tmp/project-open.tgz

Prepare de VM

cp -r /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-xen-686 /mnt/tmp/lib/modules/
mkdir -p /mnt/tmp/tmp /mnt/tmp/proc /mnt/tmp/sys
* Copy /boot from another VM
* Change devices in /etc/fstab

Remove VMWare tools:

rm /etc/rc5.d/S19vmware-tools

Fix "4gb seg fixup" error

echo "hwcap 0 nosegneg" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nosegneg.conf
ldconfig

Common problems

To fix up "4gb seg fixup"

on sarge and olds domU's
mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled
for etch try with
apt-get install libc6-xen

Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected

  1. If you get the following error when trying to create a domU:
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

and your /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log shows something complaining about brctl, like that:

/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge: line 114: brctl: command not found

it seems that bridge-utils package is not installed in your host, so:

apt-get install bridge-utils
/etc/init.d/xend restart

should solve the problem.
