Re: [Xen-users] Windows Server 2003, reboot hangs

[David Riccitelli <david@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Terii,

Your right, I had 4 vcpus, I changed them to 2 vcpus and reboot is now working. Terrific.

But changing to 2 vcpus isn't going to affect the performance of my domU?

As a reference, I'm posting my xm info as well:

If I run the xm shutdown guest, it does shutdown however.

(not after the server is frozen)

David,

I am experiencing this as well. With or without GPLPV drivers.

Try this see if this helps. Are you allocating more than two CPUs to
domU? I set my vcpus line to "2".

When I allocates 4 CPUs to Windows domU, it'll freeze on both shutdown
and reboots. Regardless through VNC or RDP sessions.




If anyone on list wants to know more info I am able to reproduce this
problem on my dev server.

HW: PE 2950 Intel 8 core w/ 16GB.
OS: Ubuntu Hardy
Xen: 3.2.1
