One of the challenges of using Xen in embedded environments is the need for core components to meet critical timing requirements. In traditional implementations engineers use real-time operating systems (RTOS) to ensure, for example, that an automobile’s brakes engage within a reasonable amount of time after the driver presses
A new python based migration utility for migrating your xend virtual machines to XCPÂ is now available at: http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_projects.html It can generate XVAs from your xend based HVM and paravirtualised virtual machines. It can also steam your VM directly to a XenServer/XCP
Andreas Ender from SECURE_iT sent me this excellent demonstration video… Georg Dörn from www.its-doern.at has built a XEN cluster solution. This Video shows you an RDP session while live migration of a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server running as a virtual machine on a XEN-HA cluster.
From xen-devel: It’s my pleasure to announce the release of Remus 0.9! Remus provides comprehensive fault tolerance for Xen virtual machines. If the physical machine hosting your VM fails, the backup can take over instantly, as if you had migrated it to the backup at the instant before
From xen-devel (Simon Horman): I am happy to announce a refreshed backport of the IGB driver to linux-2.6.18-xen. Motivation ———- To allow the creation of virtual functions (VF) on the 82576 that can be passed through to domUs. This back-port is successful in that regard. Methodology ———– The current
The Xen Community has completed a discussion around the selection of the proper tree for future development activities; from Keir Fraser on June 4th (full thread)… With 3.4 out the door it is time to revisit the state of our Linux repositories. Currently we have a number of trees
Yesterday I just finished the migration of all physical servers to the virtualized ones. Now We (as company) have 7 servers (2 win2k3 and 5 linux) into just one. And yes, we are the first Chilean enterprise using virtualization with Xen in our data center. That makes me really happy,
