[Xen-users] Xen 3.4.3 - randomly crash of Dom0 and DomU

[Felix Botner <botner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

from time to time (but at least one crash in 24h) the system crashes (neither 
Dom0 nor DomU is accessible via network or console) with no usefull 
information in any log file and i have no idea what the problem could be.
Log files (syslog, kern.log, messages, xend.log) on both systems, Dom0 and 
DomU, show nothing, no kernel oops or anything.

The setup is:

   * a Dom0 (64Bit) with a 2.6.32-xen, Debian Sid based kernel 
     (linux-source-2.6.32 2.6.32-13) with xen-3.4.3 (build with 
     the standard options)

   * and one paravirtualized Debian Etch based linux DomU (32Bit) with a
     Debian Etch based kernel 2.6.18-xen (also tried other Debian Lenny based 
     DomU Kernels, 2.6.26-xen and 2.6.30-xen)

   * DomU's network interface is connected via bridge

   * tomcat/java are running on both systems

   DomU cgf:
     name = 'name'
     kernel = "/opt/ucs2.2_xen/vmlinuz-2.6.18-ucs153-xen-686"
     memory = 2500
     vcpus = 1
     disk = ['file:/var/lib/xen/name/disk,xvda,w' ]
     vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:8e:8b:08' ]
     boot = 'd'
     ramdisk = "/opt/ucs2.2_xen/initrd.img-2.6.18-ucs153-xen-686"
     root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
     extra = 'xencons=tty console=hvc0'

   Dom0 /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp:
     (xen-api-server ((unix)))
     (xend-http-server no)
     (xend-unix-server no)
     (xend-unix-xmlrpc-server yes)
     (xend-tcp-xmlrpc-server no)
     (xend-relocation-server no)
     (xend-relocation-ssl-server no)
     (network-script network-bridge)
     (vif-script vif-bridge)
     (dom0-min-mem 196)
     (enable-dom0-ballooning yes)
     (dom0-cpus 0)
     (vncpasswd '')

   grub/menu.lst
     title           Xen 3.4.3 / UCS, kernel 2.6.32-ucs5-xen-amd64
     root            (hd0,0)
     kernel          /xen-3.4.3.gz dom0_mem=3072M
     module          /vmlinuz-2.6.32-ucs5-xen-amd64 
                       root=/dev/mapper/vg_ucs-rootfs ro root2fstype=ext3  
                       splash=silent video=vga16:off nosplash rootdelay=5
                       clock=pit loglevel=0 nopat console=tty0 fbcon=map:2
     module          /initrd.img-2.6.32-ucs5-xen-amd64


I also have a script running, collecting the output of ps aux, free , ... and 
everything seems ok except this (but ps aux is showing this even hours before 
the crash):

root  8661  0.0  0.4  95988 10364 ?   S  Jun05   0:00 /usr/bin/python2.5 
   /usr/sbin/xend start
root  8665 10449177  1.0 221868 22708 ?  Sl Jun05 
  21120206:30 /usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/sbin/xend star

Is there any known problem running a 32Bit DomU in a 64 Bit Dom0?
Could anyone give me a hint, how to debug this situation or where i can find 
more information?

Feel free to ask for more information about the system or the setup.

Many thanks
