Re: [Xen-users] Remus: network buffering problem

[Wenda Ni <wonda.ni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shriram,

Thank you so much for your advice.

I have enabled IFB (Intermediate functional block) module. I have enabled Ingress, redirecting, mirroring, NET_SCH_PLUG, and Netfilter. I have moduled or enabled the rest of the selections under QoS and/or fair queueing. Now it give the following error.

I cannot find the sch_queue module under QoS and/or fair queueing. I find a few previous discussions about the sch_queue module, but have not found a good solution. Could you help a bit further? I am using XEN 4.0.1 release pvops on Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.32.27).


modprobe -q sch_queue

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/remus", line 210, in <module>
    run(cfg)
  File "/usr/bin/remus", line 119, in run
    bufs.append(BufferedNIC(vif))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/xen/remus/device.py", line 275, in __init__
    self.setup()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/xen/remus/device.py", line 314, in setup
    raise BufferedNICException('could not load sch_queue module')
xen.remus.device.BufferedNICException: could not load sch_queue module

Have you installed the ifb module?

You have to enable it while configuring the dom0 kernel. 

 Device Drivers-->network devices-->Intermediate Frame Buffer

You also need to enable a whole bunch of other things

 Networking ->QoS ->Ingress, actions, mirred, redirect, etc

  and Plug Queue (NET_SCH_PLUG).

You are better off at the moment to just enable all or most of the stuff
under Netfilter and Qos as modules. Might make your task easier.

Btw thanks for pointing this out. These should probably be enabled by the
kernel build scripts (buildconfigs/enable-xen-config ) or some such place.
