Hello again, today I killed the asynchronous system, installed Xenserver 5.6 SP2 from scratch and compiled the latest version of DRBD. SP2 reserves 4 VCPUs for dom0 and I configured it to reserve 2 GB of RAM too instead of the 768 MB which were default. But when I created the storage on the local DRBD device it almost hang and the system log brought kernel timeout error messages of dom0. Some other idea without having proof: Although I wasn't shure why the issues just happen now and didn't occur in the beginning this issue reminds me a bit like IRQ resource conflicts in the Win98 times. I thought today's systems wouldn't worry about PCI latency and things. Would it be worth a try putting the 10GbE NIC or the RAID controller card into other PCI Express ports like we used to do 10 years ago when something went curious? I am seriously thinking about leaving Citrix Xenserver behind and trying some other distribution. I mean: This time I even did not yet sync towards some other machine but still worked locally. So it cannot be a network related issue anymore but something on the machine itself. :-/ Are problems like mine happening more often or am I the only black sheep experiencing this? CU, Mészi.
