win2008 crashes unde xen

[jacek burghardt]

I have server 2008R2 datacenter hosting second exchange server  2010.
When I attempt to duplicate mailbox database  the server 2008 crashes
with blue screen this happens when exchange sends files over network
and writs them to the disk. could lvm be corrupted or bad hard drive
or is this xen fault ?

What type of disk storage on dom0 are you using? What does dmesg on dom0 say? What does the BSOD say? Did you install xen drivers in the windows guest box? Which ones? Have you tried reproducing that without duplicating excanche data files?

What's the content of your bluescreen?

thats a gplpv driver, james could maybe shed some more light on how to debug that. make sure you are using the drivers with the debugging in them

If that is your BSoD then the crash does appear to be in xenvbd.sys which is a GPLPV driver. Can you have a look in c:\windows\minidump and see if there is a file in there that approximately matches the time of your bluescreen?

If so, can you zip it up and email it to me? I also need to know the exact version of GPLPV you are using so I can load the correct symbols in the debugger.

Thanks

James

Hey James, We're using your Driver as well 11.0.308 and we're having the issue
of a BSOD during Exchange 2010 replication.   Was this issue ever fixed?  Do you
still need a dump from the Debug version of the driver?  If anyone knows the fix
to this please email me - jim.molnar "at" Gmail dot com  Thanks a lot.

Jim.

Does your Windows HVM config contain viridian=1?

I'm not familiar with that configuration.  Here's a normal config for one of our VM's

 

Here is a copy of the vm config file for one of the working vm’s.  Should it be added in here ?  If so where?  Does it effect any other machines on the same host at all? Sorry I'm fairly new to Xen.
