RHEL 5: Xen domains unresponsive after login
Hi all,
Having a little experiment with virtualised services. I'm running RHEL5 on a HP Xeon server (a relatively old one, without Vanderpool), and I've created a Xen virtual domain using paravirtualisation and a filesystem created inside a file on disk. I generated it using the GUI virt-manager app, and the install process went smoothly.
I installed Fedora 9, which initially worked fine. However, now once I start up the VM domain, it gets to the login screen, and it crashes if I attempt to log in. The VNC connection goes dead and I can't reconnect to the VM domain.
The odd thing is that I can't then reconnect to the VM domain. The virt-manager app shows CPU utilisation of 99% for the virtualised domain, and the only thing I can think to do is to run 'xm destroy VMNAME' to shut the thing off. 'xm shutdown' is ineffective.
I've also tried restarting xend and libvirtd, to no avail.
I got this error via the local mail system:
Code:

Does anyone know what's causing these errors and how I can fix them?
Also, after the VM has crashed, the only way of getting it back seems to be restarting the physical machine. Any other way to do it?
I'm running RHEL with the 2.6.18-92.el5xen kernel and all latest updates.
Thanks. |
