Host: Unisys ES7000/one, x86_64, 48 processors, 160 GB
RAM
xen-unstable changeset 15730 compiled with max_phys_cpus=64
and booted with
dom0_mem=512M numa=on
NEW ISSUE:
- Bug #1049 - When boot the host
with more than 166 GB RAM, the host only sees a maximum of 166GB
OLD ISSUES:
- Bug #1050 - after c/s 15203,
networking does not work unless a default gateway is specified
- Bug #1051 - after c/s 15203,
all xm-test tests fail with XmTestLib.NetConfig.NetworkError: Failed to
show vif0.0 aliases: 65280 – workaround is to comment out lines in
cleanDom0Aliases in xm-test/lib/XmTestLib/NetConfig.py until xm-test code is
changed to accommodate the new bridge naming scheme
- Bug #940 - Must specify
hpet=disable kernel parameter to get 32-bit SLES10 domVTs to boot;
narrowed down to c/s 14436 but the patch originator cannot recreate on his
hardware
- Bug #1037 - Shutdown of large
domains takes a long time, during which time dom0 is not interruptible
(due to the synchronous tearing down of the memory map)
Testing includes running xm-test and also attempting to boot
and run programs in the following domUs and domVTs (running domains #s 3
through 9 simultaneously):
1. 32-processor
64-bit SLES10 domU with 156gb memory – run kernbench optimal load
2. 32-processor
64-bit SLES10 domVT with 150gb memory – run kernbench optimal load
3. 4-processor
64-bit SLES10 domU with 16gb memory - run kernbench optimal load
4. 4-procesor
32-bit SLES10 domVT with 2gb memory (booted with hpet=disable) - run kernbench
optimal load
5. 4-processor
32-bit PAE SLES10 domVT with 16gb memory (booted with hpet=disable) - run
kernbench optimal load
6. 4-processor
64-bit SLES10 domVT with 16gb memory – run kernbench optimal load
7. 1-processor
Windows XP domVT with 4gb memory – run 100% cpu intensive program
8. 1-processor
Windows 2003 Server domVT with 4gb memory – run 100% cpu intensive
program
9. 8-processor Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition domVT with 16gb
memory – run 100% cpu intensive program
Results:
All domains ran successfully.
Ran xm-test (DomU) on dom0 with the following results:
(Could only run after commenting out the call to
cleanDom0Aliases in xm-test/lib/XmTestLib/NetConfig.py and most of the failures
are related to not finding device vif0.0 – this was not necessary before
c/s 15203)
