[Xen-users] Inter-VM Shared memory with HVM DomUs

[Anil Rao <anil.rao@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I am interested in having a bunch of HVM DomUs share a memory segment that is exported by Dom0. I am currently on a Xen 4.1.0 system with the Jeremy PV-OPTs Dom0. For my initial test, my DomU kernel is running a 32-bit PAE kernel based on Fedora 15. I configured the PV options to turn on the Xen Platform Drivers (configured as modules). When I start the DomU, it cannot find the root and swap partitions and then falls into a debug shell.

 

The Standard Fedora 15 32-bit kernel (with no PV options configured) works fine as a HVM DomU on my host. Is there a special recipe that I must follow to get PV-on-HVM working? From reading various posts it appears that PV-on-HVM is required in order to get inter-VM shared memory to work with HVM DomUs. Any thoughts/suggestions would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks.

-Anil
