Hi Sriram,

            Once again, thanks for your timely reply....
            I tested as your suggesstion and i found that i don't have any file in the
location "/var/lib/xen"

[root@globushead xen]# pwd
/var/lib/xen
[root@globushead xen]# ls -ll
total 0

Further i tested the command "xm save " and results as follows
Terminal 1:
xm save -c TestVM1 TestVM1.chkpt

Terminal 2 :
 xm save -c TestVM2 TestVM2.chkpt

& issued command simultaneously.. I could able to get those checkpoint files as follows & no error has occured..


[root@globushead ~]# ls -ll TestVM*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134508135 Jul 29 09:05 TestVM1.chkpt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134508135 Jul 29 09:05 TestVM2.chkpt


I hereby represents the xend.log as follows for your reference......

check /var/lib/xen/suspend_evtchn_*_lock.d
Make sure there are different lock files for each domain.
And before starting, make sure there are no stray lock files.

Try this litmus test first. (do both commands simultaneously, in two different
terminals)
terminal 1: xm save -c TestVM1 TestVM1.chkpt
terminal 2: xm save -c TestVM2 TestVM2.chkpt

If this fails, then your problem is something else.
Check the log files /var/log/xen/xend.log for errors.


Most important of all, you are not doing any disk replication!
 So, when the VM recovers on backup, it will be running with an
older version of the disk and will possibly crash

it should be tap2:remus:backuphost:backupport|aio:....

Hi,

       I have installed xen 4.0.2 in RHEL5 and tried remus. With a single remus command
running for a single virtual machine, it works fine but when i tried for two virtual machine,
the steps which i have tried is as follows,

i have run remus command on two terminals

On the host machine where i run remus command , i can see the two VMs in suspended state
[root@globuscompute ~]# xm list

And also the destination machine i can see one VM in "b" state

Hi Sriram,
               
                Can we run REMUS for more than one VM simultaneously ?
               I have tried it and found  that it is not fruitful..
               Kindly help me for a solution.
