[Xen-devel] Re: Xen 3.5-unstable, pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.31.4, Windows XP Home HVM Virtual Machine, PCI Express x16 Graphics Passthrough, Firewire Controller Passthrough, HD Audio Controller Passthrough, 3D Video and Disk I/O Benchmark Results

["Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)" <space.time.universe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wrote the following linux shell script which I can run in the
background in dom0 just before starting my Windows XP Home HVM guest.
This script collects xm dmesg output, pipes it to a file and also
copies qemu-dm, xend.log and other Xen logs to my home directory 10
minutes after my winxp home domU has started. It avoids the need to
ssh or serial console into dom0 to collect the logs.

#!/bin/sh

KERNELVER=`uname -r`
DATESTAMP=23oct2009
TIMESTAMP=2026
DELAY=10m

sleep $DELAY

xm dmesg > ~enming/xm-dmesg-$KERNELVER-$DATESTAMP-$TIMESTAMP.txt
mkdir ~enming/xen-logs/$DATESTAMP-$TIMESTAMP
cp -f /var/log/xen/* ~enming/xen-logs/$DATESTAMP-$TIMESTAMP
