[Xen-devel] VMX status report Dec.15 changset 8369

["Shi, Kuiliang" <kuiliang.shi@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

 

 

We have test latest xen on VT platform with Intel 915/E8500 chipset. Today I am glad to announce a Greate news for Windows Guest.

With the xiaofeng's patch (changset 8369), we can boot 2 windows xp guests, and run HCT stress testing in one of them. Testing lasted for 6 hour and no error reported.

 

Another good news is "Evtchn delay (may lost) issue" was resolved. Now we can create VMX guest on a SMP machine which have 16 CPUS(4 sockets + dual core + HT).

 

Here is the test summary:
 

 

IA-32:
    Build&Boot SMP xen0 without problem
    Can startup unmodified 2.4/2.6 linux on VMX domain
    Can startup VMX & Xen with different configuration
    Part of LTP runs well in VMX domain(2.6)
 
IA-32e:
    Build&Boot SMP xen0 without problem
    Can startup unmodified 2.6 linux on VMX domain
    Can startup VMX & xenU with different configuration
    Part of LTP runs well in VMX domain(2.6)

 

issues:

    + can not create IA-32e VMX which has >2G memory in IA-32e platform.
