ASG 8.202 on XenServer 5.6 SP2

Hi together,

I run my ASG v. 8.202 on my XenServer 5.6 SP2 as HVM Guest. This setup worked well for some weeks, but now it starts making problems. I appears that the ASG Guest complete crashes and I need to hard reset ist per command line.

Any ideas how I can find out if that is a ASG or XenServer problem?

  • Scott - oops, I mean William, is there more Xen support in V 8.3? I got the impression that that's what Amazon is using.

  • Actually, I think Bob is right -- I believe EC2 is built on / based off of Xen.

  • according to wikipedia they do use xen so i sit corrected...but it is up to astaro to build in the xen support.  amazon since they leverage it so highly they've already done the work so it makes sense for astaro to partner with amazon on their cloudy instances.

  • That's what I was thinking, William - they could more-easily start with Amazon because Amazon has a consistent enviroment.  Still, I don't know if that means there's better support for Xen in 8.3, or if they worked with Amazon to create AMIs adapted to Amazon.

  • Hi,

    I know XenServer is not fully supported, but these problems does not appear when I started using Astaro. Now the VM crashes nearly every day. Maybe there is something I can do or try to improve the stability?
  • if you want to work on it go for it..however you are duplicating effort by astaro themselves.
