[Xen-users] DomU stalls, no CPU activity

["Mike Egglestone" <mike@xxxxxxxxx>]

After a few days, one of my DomU becomes unresponsive.

Here's the output of my DomU's.

root@xenII:/var/log/xen# xl list

Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)

The DomU that always stalls after a few days is the ID 196.

I can't ssh to this server, and the vnc console is gone.

The Dom0 and all other DomU's are fine.

I have to destory the DomU and re-start it again. The logs in the DomU (Debian Wheezy) don't

suggest any kind of crash.

I'm not sure if any of the xen logs on the Dom0 will tell me anything. Not sure where to look.

I believe also that during heavy network load on the DomU is when it hangs. (but not confirmed)

Here's the output of my DomU config.

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.1/boot/hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

memory = 2048

vcpus = '1'

pae = 1

acpi = 1

apic = 1

name = "debian-ADSamba"

vif = [ 'model=e1000, mac=00:58:00:00:00:05, bridge=xenbr1' ]

disk = [ 'file:/home/XEN_A/debian-ADSamba/disk.img,xvda,w', 'file:/root/ISO/debian.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r' ]

device_model = '/usr/lib/xen-4.1/bin/qemu-dm'

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)

# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy

boot="cd"

usb=1

usbdevice='tablet'

sdl=0

vnc=1

vncconsole=1

#vncpasswd=''

serial='pty'

I have no clue where to start troubleshooting.

Here's my xen setup:

root@xenII:~# dpkg -l |grep xen

ii  libxen-4.1                         4.1.4-3+deb7u1            amd64        Public libs for Xen

ii  libxenstore3.0                     4.1.4-3+deb7u1            amd64        Xenstore communications library for Xen

ii  xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64           4.1.4-3+deb7u1            amd64        Xen Hypervisor on AMD64

ii  xenstore-utils                     4.1.4-3+deb7u1            amd64        Xenstore utilities for Xen

root@xenII:~# uname -a

Linux xenII.sd57.bc.ca 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

root@xenII:~#

Any help to troubleshoot this would be great!

Thanks,
