Re: [Xen-users] Xen 4.2.5 Remus usage triggers random host restarts

[JoÃo LuÃs Pinto <joaoluispinto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have yet to receive any suggestions regarding this problem.

Besides what has happened using patched (as mentioned before) Xen
4.2.5, I have tried using Remus+DRBD (8.3.11 version patched to
support protocol D) using out-of-the-box compilations of vanilla Xen
4.3.3 and 4.4.1 (optionally building xend). In both these versions
Remus, after successfully synchronizing the initial vm memory
snapshot, and when about to start making the incremental state updates
to the other host, simply fails.

Is anybody using this feature of Xen? Is this feature working in the
currently supported Xen minor versions?

Thank you,

Joao
