VMX status report 11486:d8bceca5f07d
We have tested the latest xen on VT platform with Intel 915/E8500
chipset.

Three platforms(32/PAE/32E) test all are based on SMP, It means that we
boot up SMP guest OS in VMX.

Here is the test summary:

Issues:
0) Domain0's VCPUs will pause except one, after running a certain
time.It happends to all platforms( ia32, pae, ia32e). See attachment
"vt-gs4.JPG, vt-gs5.JPG, vt-px5.JPG" for details.

1).IA32: Build linux 2.6.16 kernel in IA32 non-pae SMP VMX domain
succeed about 30% of the time.


2). Create eight VMX domains simultaneously, usually, not all VMX
domains can start successfully. only part of them can start, and the
rest will fail with the following messages " Error: Device 768 (vbd)
could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working." or "Error: Device
5632 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working."or "
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not
working.".
I use following script to create VMX domains simultaneously:
#!/bin/bash
xm cr config.vmx2 &
xm cr config.vmx3 &
xm cr config.vmx4 &
xm cr config.vmx5 &
.....
