Python Path Issues The Python path itself can be the subject of some irritation. Just as you've got your sh.e.l.l executable path, manpath, library path, and so forth, Python has its own internal search path that it examines for modules. If the path doesn't include the Xen modules, you can wind up with errors like the following: #xmcreate-csebastian.cfg Usingconfigfile"/etc/xen/sebastian.cfg".

Traceback(mostrecentcalllast): File"/usr/bin/pygrub",line26,in?

importgrub.fsys ImportError:Nomodulenamedfsys Unfortunately, the mechanisms for adjusting the search path aren't exactly intuitive. In most cases, we just fall back to either creating some symlinks or moving the Xen files into some directory that's already in Python's path.

The correct solution is to add a .pth .pth file to a directory that's already in Python's path. This file to a directory that's already in Python's path. This .pth .pth file should contain the path of a directory with Python modules. For example: file should contain the path of a directory with Python modules. For example: #echo"/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages">> /usr/lib/python2.5/local.pth Confirm that the path updated correctly by starting Python: #python

Mysterious Lockups Mysterious lockups are among the most frustrating aspects of dealing with computers; sometimes they just don't work.

If Xen (or the dom0) hangs mysteriously, chances are you have a kernel panic in the dom0. In this case, you have two problems: first, the crash; second, your console logging isn't adequate to its task.

A serial console improves your life immensely. If you're using serial, you should see an informative panic message on the serial console. If you don't see that, you may want to try typing CTRL-A three times on the console to switch the input to the Xen hypervisor. This will at least confirm that Xen and the hardware are still up.

If you don't have a serial console, try to keep your VGA console on tty1 because often the panic message won't go anywhere else. Sometimes a digital camera is handy for saving the output of a kernel panic.

If the box reboots before you can see the panic message on your console, and serial isn't an option, you can try adding panic=0 panic=0 to the to the module module line that specifies your Linux kernel in the domU line that specifies your Linux kernel in the domU menu.lst menu.lst file. This has the obvious disadvantage of hanging your computer rather than rebooting, but it's good for test setups because it'll at least let you see the computer's final messages. file.

Getting Help You can, of course, email us directly with Xen-related questions. No guarantee that we'll be able to help, but asking is easy enough. There's also a list of Xen consultants on the Xen wiki at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Consultants. (If you happen to be a Xen consultant, feel free to add yourself.) Mailing Lists There are several popular mailing lists devoted to Xen. You can sign up and read digests at http://lists.xensource.com/. We recommend reading the Xen-users mailing list at least. Xen-devel can be interesting, but the high volume of patches might discourage people who aren't actively involved in Xen development. At any rate, both lists are good places to look for help, but Xen-users is a much better place to start if you have a question that involves using using Xen, rather than hacking at it. Xen, rather than hacking at it.

The Xen Wiki Xen has a fairly extensive wiki at http://wiki.xensource.com/. Some of it is out of date, but it's still a valuable starting point. Of course, new contributors are always welcome. Take a look, poke around, and add your own experiences, tips, and cool tidbits.

The Xen IRC Channel There's a fairly popular Xen IRC channel, #xen #xen on on irc.oftc.net irc.oftc.net. Feel free to stop by and chat.

Bugzilla Xen maintains a bug database, just like all software projects above a certain size. It's publicly accessible at http://bugzilla.xensource.com/. Type keywords into the search box, press the b.u.t.ton, and read the results.

Your Distro Vendor Don't forget the specific doc.u.mentation and support resources of your vendor. Xen is a complex piece of software, and the specifics of how it's integrated vary between distros. Although the distro doc.u.mentation may not be as complete as, say, this book, it's likely to at least point in the correct direction.

xen-bugtool If all else fails, you can use xen-bugtool xen-bugtool to annoy the developers directly. The purpose of to annoy the developers directly.

We recommend uploading it somewhere web-accessible and sending a message to the Xen-devel mailing list.

Some Last Words of Encouragement This chapter describes a troubleshooting work flow that works for us. In general, we try to hit the obvious stuff before escalating to more invasive and labor-intensive methods.

We've also tried to list error messages that we've seen, along with possible solutions. Obviously, we can't be encyclopedic, but we've probably hit most of the common error messages in our years working with Xen, and we can at least give you a decent starting point.

Don't get depressed! Concentrate! Remember that the odds are very good that someone has seen and solved this problem before. And, don't forget: There's no shame in giving up occasionally. You can't beat the computer all the time. Well, maybe you can, but we can't. Good luck.

AppendixA.XM REFERENCE

The xm xm command is probably the first thing to know about Xen. It's your primary interface to Xen's control-plane functionality. Using command is probably the first thing to know about Xen. It's your primary interface to Xen's control-plane functionality. Using xm xm, you can create, query, and destroy domains. You can send certain instructions (e.g., shut down) to guest domains. You can attach and detach storage and network devices and dynamically adjust resource consumption.

In short, knowing xm xm is is important important. That's why we've doc.u.mented xm xm 's subcommands here, with references to the rest of the book. 's subcommands here, with references to the rest of the book.

NoteSome of these commands-the ones introduced with Xen 3.1 or later-may not work with the Xen version included in RHEL 5.x because Red Hat's priority is to maintain compatibility within major releases, rather than support new features. These commands are marked with an asterisk because Red Hat's priority is to maintain compatibility within major releases, rather than support new features. These commands are marked with an asterisk.

All of xm xm's commands work by sending instructions to xend xend, the Xen control daemon. This is a Python program that runs in domain 0. It receives requests and sends replies to client applications, like xm xm.

If xend xend isn't running, isn't running, xm xm will return an error and exit. Much of will return an error and exit. Much of xm xm's functionality relies on the XenBus, which is a shared communication channel between all domains on the machine, and the XenStore, which is a centralized configuration database that xend xend uses to hold domain configuration information and states. For more information on the XenStore and XenBus, take a look at uses to hold domain configuration information and states. For more information on the XenStore and XenBus, take a look at Chapter14 Chapter14.

That said, let's look at the general form of an xm xm command. command.

xm's Syntax xm's syntax is fairly simple and consistent: xm[options]

Options can go either before or after the domain specifier, but we usually put them at the end. For example, to order domain 10 to shut down cleanly: xmshutdown10 Here we're not specifying any options, and we're referring to the domain by numeric ID rather than name. The domain specifier may be either a domain number or domain name-the names will be internally translated to numbers. (Note that this won't work if the XenStore isn't up, but in that case, you have bigger problems.) xm commands are usually asynchronous, which means that the command may return before it's actually completed. In the case of a command like commands are usually asynchronous, which means that the command may return before it's actually completed. In the case of a command like xm shutdown xm shutdown, it may take the domain several minutes to actually shut down. In that case, we ordinarily poll xm list xm list to make sure that the domain has stopped running. to make sure that the domain has stopped running.

xm Subcommands Here's a list of the various xm xm subcommands. We use some of them frequently, and we don't use some of them at all. New commands with version 3.1 are marked with an asterisk (*) because version 3.1 marks a substantial change in Xen's approach to domain management. As we mentioned earlier, this means they might also not work with RHEL 5. subcommands. We use some of them frequently, and we don't use some of them at all. New commands with version 3.1 are marked with an asterisk (*) because version 3.1 marks a substantial change in Xen's approach to domain management. As we mentioned earlier, this means they might also not work with RHEL 5.x. Although RHEL 5.2, for example, uses the 3.1 version of the Xen hypervisor, it uses the 3.0.3 versions of the users.p.a.ce tools, such as xend xend.

addlabel, cfgbootpolicy cfgbootpolicy, dumppolicy dumppolicy, getlabel getlabel, labels labels, loadpolicy loadpolicy, makepolicy makepolicy, resources resources, and rmlabel rmlabel These subcommands interface with Xen's security policy infrastructure. As we mention in Chapter14 Chapter14, we haven't seen any practical use for Xen's security policies. If you're interested in more information about the security modules (which are themselves the subject of ongoing work), we suggest looking at the sample policies included with the Xen source distribution.

block-attach, block-configure block-configure, block-detach block-detach, and block-list block-list The various block block subcommands manage storage devices that are attached to domains. These commands are handled in more detail in subcommands manage storage devices that are attached to domains. These commands are handled in more detail in Chapter4 Chapter4.

console The console subcommand attaches to the given domain's console. Note that this is only useful if the domain is set up to use Xen's virtual console.Even if everything is set up correctly, you may need to press ENTER to make it give you a login prompt. (This can be puzzling for new users, who type xm console xm console and see a blank screen, because nothing's been added to the console buffer since the last time they used it.) and see a blank screen, because nothing's been added to the console buffer since the last time they used it.) create The xm create xm create subcommand, in recent versions of Xen, is a synonym for subcommand, in recent versions of Xen, is a synonym for xm new xm new followed by followed by xm start xm start. It's the subcommand we use throughout the book to make domains go.Create expects the name of a config file. If you don't specify a file, it uses the default, expects the name of a config file. If you don't specify a file, it uses the default, /etc/xen/xmdefconfig /etc/xen/xmdefconfig.The create create subcommand takes these options: subcommand takes these options: -h: Prints help.

-q: Quiet mode.

--path: Base path for domain configuration files (/etc/xen by default). by default).

-n: Dry-run mode. Prints the configuration that would be generated. This is used to debug Python code in domain configurations. If you're autogenerating a domain config, it's nice to have some way to test it.

-x: Similar to -n -n but outputs a domain definition in XML. Note that, as of Xen 3.3, this option still relies on the deprecated but outputs a domain definition in XML. Note that, as of Xen 3.3, this option still relies on the deprecated xml.dom.ext xml.dom.ext module and thus does not work with many Python installations. module and thus does not work with many Python installations.

-c: Connect automatically to the console. This is necessary to interact with PyGRUB.

-s: Skip DTD checking for XML domain configurations.

If you don't give xm create xm create a full path, it will default to looking for the config file in a full path, it will default to looking for the config file in /etc/xen /etc/xen. You can change that with the --path --path option. option.

debug-keys *

The debug-keys debug-keys subcommand interacts with the GDB stub built into Xen, enabling you to send magic keystrokes to control the stub's output. It is likely to be useful only if you're hacking Xen's internals. subcommand interacts with the GDB stub built into Xen, enabling you to send magic keystrokes to control the stub's output. It is likely to be useful only if you're hacking Xen's internals.Note that this will only have an effect if you've built Xen with the GDB stub.

delete *

The xm delete xm delete subcommand removes a domain from Xen's management. If the domain is running, the delete subcommand shuts it down, then removes its definition. subcommand removes a domain from Xen's management. If the domain is running, the delete subcommand shuts it down, then removes its definition.

destroy Before you think UNIX is family oriented, note that all children must die.-Eric Foster-Johnson, Cross-Platform Perl Cross-Platform PerlThe xm destroy xm destroy command is the equivalent of yanking the power plug on a physical machine. If the domU has locked up completely, it may be necessary to ask command is the equivalent of yanking the power plug on a physical machine. If the domU has locked up completely, it may be necessary to ask xend xend to terminate it forcefully. All resources are immediately returned to the hypervisor. to terminate it forcefully. All resources are immediately returned to the hypervisor.

dmesg Like the dmesg dmesg system command, the system command, the xm dmesg xm dmesg subcommand prints out diagnostic messages from the kernel boot. We talk more about these messages in subcommand prints out diagnostic messages from the kernel boot. We talk more about these messages in Chapter15 Chapter15.

domid and and domname domname The domid domid and and domname domname commands look up a domain's ID when you have its name, or vice versa. Each subcommand takes a single argument, the domain name or ID respectively, and returns the ID or name as appropriate. They're handy if you've got a lot of domains floating around. commands look up a domain's ID when you have its name, or vice versa. Each subcommand takes a single argument, the domain name or ID respectively, and returns the ID or name as appropriate. They're handy if you've got a lot of domains floating around.

dry-run Although the dry-run dry-run subcommand, in theory, tests whether Xen can successfully find and use its virtual devices, we've had mixed luck because it's not very good at predicting whether we'll be successful in starting a domain. One important use for it is to debug Python code that is included in domain configurations, as described in subcommand, in theory, tests whether Xen can successfully find and use its virtual devices, we've had mixed luck because it's not very good at predicting whether we'll be successful in starting a domain. One important use for it is to debug Python code that is included in domain configurations, as described in Chapter14 Chapter14.This subcommand is also a suboption for xm create xm create, which creates the domain in dry-run mode.

dump-core The dump-core dump-core subcommand triggers an immediate memory dump. subcommand triggers an immediate memory dump.Ordinarily, it pauses the domain, dumps its memory to the specified file, and then unpauses. You can, however, specify the -L (--live) -L (--live) option to make it dump in a fas.h.i.+on similar to live migration, without pausing and unpausing the domain (or, at least, without pausing it for any noticeable amount of time). option to make it dump in a fas.h.i.+on similar to live migration, without pausing and unpausing the domain (or, at least, without pausing it for any noticeable amount of time).

info The info info subcommand prints a lot of useful information about the Xen host, including the precise version of Xen you're using, the capabilities of the processor, and the memory that's available for domUs. subcommand prints a lot of useful information about the Xen host, including the precise version of Xen you're using, the capabilities of the processor, and the memory that's available for domUs.

(dying): The domain is in shutdown and in the process of being destroyed by the hypervisor. If a domain remains in this state, the odds are good that it's a bug.

's' (shutdown): The domain is in the process of shutting down, whether because of a command issued from within the domain (e.g., (shutdown): The domain is in the process of shutting down, whether because of a command issued from within the domain (e.g., halt halt) or from dom0 (e.g., xm shutdown xm shutdown). This state is also used for domains that are known to Xen but are not started. If you use xm new xm new, the imported domain definition will show in xm list xm list as as shutdown shutdown until you start it with until you start it with xm start xm start.

log The xm log xm log command simply prints out command simply prints out /var/log/xend.log /var/log/xend.log. We go into more detail about Xen's various log files in Chapter15 Chapter15.

mem-max The mem-max mem-max subcommand specifies the maximum amount of memory that the domain can use in megabytes. This is identical to the maxmem directive in the domain config file. Right now, this subcommand has no effect on running domains; changes take effect when the domain reboots. subcommand specifies the maximum amount of memory that the domain can use in megabytes. This is identical to the maxmem directive in the domain config file. Right now, this subcommand has no effect on running domains; changes take effect when the domain reboots.

mem-set The xm mem-set xm mem-set subcommand works by sending messages to the balloon driver in the target domU. Altering the domain's memory allocation in this way requires cooperation from the domU's operating system and thus is not guaranteed. It also raises the possibility of taking too much memory from the domain, which will make it unstable. subcommand works by sending messages to the balloon driver in the target domU. Altering the domain's memory allocation in this way requires cooperation from the domU's operating system and thus is not guaranteed. It also raises the possibility of taking too much memory from the domain, which will make it unstable.We prefer to avoid using this subcommand. However, for more information about the balloon driver, see the relevant discussion in Chapter14 Chapter14.

migrate The migrate migrate subcommand, as one might suppose, migrates domains. Migration is fairly complicated. subcommand, as one might suppose, migrates domains. Migration is fairly complicated. Chapter9 Chapter9 is devoted entirely to the subject. is devoted entirely to the subject.

network-attach, network-detach network-detach, and network-list network-list As you might guess, these subcommands manage virtual network devices (vifs, in Xen parlance, rather than networks per se). With these subcommands, you can attach, detach, and list vifs. We address these subcommands in Chapter5 Chapter5.

new *

The new new subcommand adds a domain to Xen's management; that is, it defines the domain but doesn't actually allocate resources or run it. Having imported the domain into Xen, you can start it with the subcommand adds a domain to Xen's management; that is, it defines the domain but doesn't actually allocate resources or run it.

pause This subcommand pauses the domain. While paused, the domain continues to occupy memory and hold a lock on its devices, but it won't be scheduled to run on the CPU.

reboot The reboot reboot subcommand orders the domain to reboot itself cleanly. Note that, if you're using PyGRUB, subcommand orders the domain to reboot itself cleanly. Note that, if you're using PyGRUB, xm reboot xm reboot will not load a new kernel; for that you'll need to shut down and re-create the domain. The same applies to, for example, will not load a new kernel; for that you'll need to shut down and re-create the domain. The same applies to, for example, shutdown -r shutdown -r from within the domU. from within the domU.

sched-credit The credit scheduler is the default scheduler for Xen. The sched-credit sched-credit subcommand configures the credit scheduler, allowing you to display or adjust a domain's weight and cap. We describe its use at some length in subcommand configures the credit scheduler, allowing you to display or adjust a domain's weight and cap. We describe its use at some length in Chapter7 Chapter7.

shutdown Like xm reboot xm reboot, the shutdown shutdown subcommand orders the domain to shut down, with the difference that it doesn't immediately restart it. This subcommand requires domU cooperation; if the domain doesn't shut down, subcommand orders the domain to shut down, with the difference that it doesn't immediately restart it. This subcommand requires domU cooperation; if the domain doesn't shut down, xend xend won't forcefully terminate it. If won't forcefully terminate it. If xm shutdown xm shutdown doesn't work, you may want to try doesn't work, you may want to try xm destroy xm destroy.
