- Thread-topic: Xen 3.0.0 (ChangeSet 8241) test results
We have tested xen 3.0.0 (ChangeSet 8241) on Intel S3E3141 SDP. It
has 4 sockets, each socket is dual core, dual thread.
In general, VMX works fine as IA32/IA32E guest on both IA32/IA32E
service OS. IA32 Windows are bootable.We can boot IA64 guest after
changing the build config file of IA64. IA64 works better on RHEL4U2
than on RHEL3
Here is the main issues that we found in the testing:
+ There is no VMX information in xen 3.0 user manual
+ Evtchn delay (may lost) issue on big SMP machine causes a black QEMU
window when startup IA32&IA32e VMX on IA32e host
+ xen0 booting fails on Xen 3.0.0 IPF version. Need to change the
build config file to make it work
+ VTI domain will hang after booting up several minutes on EL3.
+ vmx's network broken about every 10 minutes when there are 2 or more
vmx
+ Install FC2-IA32 on VMX will crash service OS
+ Cannot install IA32e guest OS from CDROM
+ Cannot Install SuSE10-IA32 guest OS from CDROM
+ The second Windows XP guest will be unstable
+ HCT stress may make Windows blue screen
+ vcpu-pin will hang service OS.
+ On IA-32e, service os and guest os have different time zone, but the
same time value.
+ In IA-32e guest on IA-32e service os, can't type numbers in text
console through the number key on the right side of the keyboard.
+ If use vnc (vnc=1 and vncviewer=1) to create a vmx and startx in
vmx.The Xwindows' response to keyboard and mouse will be very slow
and can't switch to text console.
We also have tests for binaries in
http://www.xensource.com/xen/downloads/. Basically VMX does not work
with these binaries. The main issues that we found are:
+ Most Xen3.0 binaries dosn't have vmxload and thus cannot startup
vmx, except IA32/PAE SMP tarball. We can create VMX from IA32 tarball.
+ xen0 keep rebooting on DP platform after install xen 3.0 for
rhel4u1rpm
+ Create vmx guest on PAE host cause service os reboot from PAE
tarball
+ IA32e tarball only support ext2 file system.
More details information in attached files.

Device model
=======================================================
We tested in 5 environment:
+ IA-32e 2.6 guest on IA-32e service os.
+ IA-32 2.4 guest on IA-32e service os.
+ IA-32 2.6 guest on IA-32e service os.
+ IA-32 2.4 guest on IA-32 service os.
+ IA-32 2.6 guest on IA-32 service os.
Here is the main issue summary. I'll check all the issues to submit
new bugs or update old bugs.
Timer: + On IA-32e, service os and guest os have different time zone,
but the same time value.
+ In all environment, the result of clockdiff vmx2_hostname /
or xen0_hostname is far more
than the acceptable value in the spec.Need disscuss with
developers to confirm if the
acceptable value in the spec is reasonable.
NIC: + In all environment, I found vmx's network broken about every
10 minutes when there
are 2 or more vmx. Maybe it's caused by DNS problem.I am
checking it and will report
it if it's really a bug.
IDE: + On IA-32e.When I use a physical harddisk to create vmx. If
booting the xen0 partition,the service os reboots.
+ In all environment, when using a config file with wrong disk
parameter to create vmx, there is no error message and sometimes even
the qemu window pop
up.
VGA: + In all environment,if create vmx with
sdl=0,vnc=0,vncviewer=0 and nographic=1, there is no
output in serial port or console. But I heard it’s a
feature. Need tracking.
+ In all environment,if create vmx with
sdl=0,vnc=0,vncviewer=1 and nographic=0. Expected
result is no vncviewer pop up. But indeed there is a
vncviewer window pop up.
Others: + In IA-32e guest on IA-32e service os, can’t type numbers in
text console through the number
key on the right side of the keyboard.If in Xwindows, it
will be ok.
+ If use vnc (vnc=1 and vncviewer=1) to create a vmx and
startx in vmx.The Xwindows’response to keyboard and mouse
will be very slow and can’t
switch to text console.

1, Only one documents for 3 difficult platform. and there have some
errors grub component. user hard to understand and install xen 3.0
successfully without enough linux knowledge.
2, No vmxloader for VMX domain in all packages. and can not create VMX
even we copy a same changset vmxloader.
