[Xen-users] Maximum number of vifs per server

["Jeff Lane" <sundowner225@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to find out if there is an absolute maximum number of vifs
per Xen server.  Anyone know???

Basically, I have a machine running SuSE enterprise 10 and am trying
to reach 128 DomUs on that server (it's a big machine, has plenty of
resources for RAM and storage) but once I hit 80 vifs, the domUs stop
booting and I get the "hotplug scripts not working" message.

So, I guess I actually have a few questions that I have not been able
to locate answers to:

1: Is 80 vifs the max, or is that a bridge limit?

2: Does Xen automagically allocate vifs to any available bridge, or
does it always allocate vifs to xenbr0 unless you specifically point
each domU interface to a particular bridge?

3: If 80 vifs is not the absolute max, is there a
parameter/switch/variable that can be set to allow up to 128 vifs on a
Xen server??

Thanks a lot!

Jeff
