[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-users] how to optimize CentOS XEN dom0?
Hi,
I have a problematic CentOS XEN server and hope someone could point me
in the right direction to optimize it a bit.
The server runs on a Core2Quad 9300, with 8GB RAM (max motherboard can
take, 1U chassis) on an Intel motherboard with a 1TB SATA HDD.
dom0 is set to 512MB limit with a few small XEM VM's running:
root@zaxen01:[~]$ xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 512 4 r----- 96.5
actionco.vm 3 1519 1 -b---- 14.8
byracers.vm 4 511 1 -b---- 85.7
ns1 5 511 1 -b---- 22.3
picturestravel 6 255 1 -b---- 13.3
rafttheworld 7 255 1 -b---- 11.3
zafepres.vm 8 511 1 -b---- 19.0
the server itself seems to eat up a lot of resources:
root@zaxen01:[~]$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 512 472 39 0 13 215
-/+ buffers/cache: 244 268
Swap: 4095 0 4095[/CODE]
Yet, it only has XEN, Webmin (since it's a CloudMin XEN server), Exim,
Apache and a few other services running:
root@zaxen01:[~]$ chkconfig --list |grep "3:on" |awk '{print $1}' |sort
acpid
auditd
crond
csf
dhcpd
exim
haldaemon
httpd
iptables
iscsi
iscsid
kudzu
lfd
lvm2-monitor
mdmonitor
network
qemu
restorecond
setroubleshoot
smartd
snmpd
sshd
syslog
sysstat
webmin
xend
xendomains
Is there anything I can optimize on such a server?
The server runs CentOS 5.5 x64:
root@zaxen01:[~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
root@zaxen01:[~]$ uname -a
Linux zaxen01.softdux.com 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Jan 5
18:44:24 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
with Xen version 3.1.2-194.32.1.el5
And there's the xm dmesg output:
