Hi,
I switched to a xen kernel on a HP DL 365, running openSUSE 10.3, x86_64.
The HP DL 386 is a amd64 based machine.
I had to add a swiotlb=16 kernel parameter into grub.conf, to get the
kernel running at all.
I have 4 virtual hosts running on the machine, also openSUSE 10.3, x86_64.
I have two physical interfaced bonded together, then I have 10 vlan
interfaces
on top of the bond0 interface. The vlan interfaces are each connected to a
bridge, one bridge for every vlan. Each of the four machines has 10
eth interface, that are connected to each of the bridges.
Further I have several phy: disks from SAN configured handed over to the
virtual machines.
Setup and test of the hosts went fine, but when under load, then after an
hour or two, the server just freezes.
from time to time I see messages like this in the dom0 /var/log/messages:
blkback: ring-ref 4882, event-channel 15, protocol 1 (x86_64-abi)
blkback: ring-ref 4883, event-channel 16, protocol 1 (x86_64-abi)
Don't know, what the meaning of them is, as far as I could find out via
googling, it must have sth. to do with networking.
further, on startup of the dom0, I see the following in /var/log/boot.msg,
don't
know whether this is a problem:
Starting udevd done

The dom0 is started this way from GRUB:

I also had powersaved stopped, acpi stopped, ntp stopped (I found a thread
where someone had
a problem with clocks walking backward and dying xen server), but so far,
the box still freezes
without any notice in the logs.
Any idea what could be the problem I have or where should I take a further
look to
figure out what causes the problem of the freezing server?
kind regards
Sebastian
