Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.3.1 Windows HVM Disk I/O -> domU and dom0

Hi Philipp,

This seems to be is turning more into a Dell/RAID issue than a Xen issueso if it turns out to be more of a Dell issue, we should probably takethis offline the xen-users list and you can just e-mail me directly.

"Degraded" is better than "Offline". It looks like you have six Seagate500GB ES.2 SAS drives on your PERC6/i setup in RAID-10/RAID-01, etc(judging from the approximately 1.5TB physical volume). The RAIDcontroller is rebuilding the array which is a good thing so don'treboot, etc. until it gets to 100% on the rebuild or if it's stuck at30%, wait for Dell to get back to you. If it's still stuck at 30%, thensomething has gone horribly wrong.

Assuming your BBU for the PERC6/i card is good, "write-back" is good soleave that be. Your "read policy" is set to none and that'll causeissues to what you've described. It happened with me with a batch ofPowerEdge 1950 III's I received from Dell a while back.

After you get your array back into a "Ready" or "Online" status, changethe read policy to something like "Adaptive Read Ahead" as a startingpoint. Sometimes, Dell sets the read policy to "Adaptive Read Ahead" orsimilar straight from the factory. Sometimes... they don't and they'reshipped turned off if you ask them to configure the array for your fromthe factory.

You're driver looks fine. So in a nutshell, get the array out of"Degraded" status, turn on "Adaptive Read Ahead" and go from there. Youcan tweak the read ahead later to whatever suits your needs on the PERC6/i.

Hi,

we are using the stock xen 2.6.18 kernel (build form the xen sources).
Are there others drivers than in the stock kernel ones available?

I think this is the relevant dmsg output for the raid controller:

scsi0 : LSI Logic SAS based MegaRAID driver

SCSI device sda: 2927099904 512-byte hdwr sectors (1498675 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off

SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
 sda: sda1 sda2
sd 0:2:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda

But what conserns me now is that on all our servers, I just found outthat the state of our array says "degraded" and "30% rebuild rate".I just opened a support ticket with dell about this, but has anyone anidea what this could be?

Hi,
we are using dell poweredge 2950 servers with a "PERC 6/iIntegrated" hardware raid controller.
Lg Philipp
How are the read-ahead and write-cache settings set on the PERC6/iand which/whose RAID drivers are you using under dom0 (output fromdmesg, etc.)
Cheers,
Daniel
