Re: [Xen-users] [Fwd: XCP - extreme high load on pool master]
Hi David
This console problem I can empathise with.
Accessing serial consoles via VNC doesnt really make sense to me.
I'd like some XCP plugin that can publish consoles via ssh/telnet and
xenconsole.
I guess disabling the vncterm and restricting the ssh connection
(/etc/passwd shell or ssh key exchange restriction?) you should be able
to have someone to use xenconsole on the xenserver, provided you go on
the right hosting server in the pool.
I have never tried it, but the vncterm/xenconsole part is documented in
the xenserver docs.
http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/4.1.0/1.0/en_gb/sdk.html#id2553339
Hope this helps.
Denis
And cloud customers could login and get some simple out of band access
to their linux based vms.

Well... I can accept idea of 'high load' for master, but my main concern
is the problem of single thread. Most of CPU time used by single xapi
process, so, if I slightly increase number of hosts and VM on hosts (for
example, 40 VM per host, 16 hosts will do about 640 VM per pool) and if
xapi will not be able to serve every request in single thread... I don't
know what will happens but I don't like it already.
About console problem...
After few tests with http(s) tunneling I stops at simple ssh tunneling
from host localhost to my machine localhost (I connect by using -L
switch of ssh and use xvncviewer localhost:59xx).
One other problem is detection of port number for certain VM... Right
now I use some hack like xe vm-list uuid=... params=domid; ps aux|grep
(this domid);netstat -lpn (this pid) - but it not very accurate and not
very scriptable...
