06:07	<porridge>	hi all
06:09	<porridge>	when I specify: vif = [ 'ip=1.2.3.4' ] in a (paravirt) domain config file, is that information going to be used? if so, how?
06:10	<porridge>	I can see how specifying a MAC can make the driver in the domU assign that MAC to its virtual eth0
06:10	<porridge>	but what happens with an IP address?
06:11	<C-Otto>	xen works like a charm, thanks
06:11	<C-Otto>	and bye

15:42	<goodwill>	pardon me, I got a bit of an issue with using networked bridge and dhcp
15:43	<goodwill>	I bridged xenbr0 to eth0
15:43	<goodwill>	eth0 is supposed to get an ip address thru dhcp
15:43	<goodwill>	but that never happen I think
15:43	<goodwill>	and hence xenbr0 has no ip
15:44	<goodwill>	been googling around, do not really see a solution

22:46	<icblenke>	man. vmware is flinging the fud.
22:46	<icblenke>	http://www.virtualization.info/2007/02/vmware-esx-server-301-vs-xen-303.html
22:47	<aliguori_>	icblenke: i don't think it constitutes FUD if it's true.
22:48	<aliguori_>	it's not like the didn't tune xen properly or crippled it somehow
22:52	<icblenke>	comparing a guest operating system without drivers (as opensource Xen doesn't have them) is rather wrong without saying as much.
22:52	<icblenke>	running linux guest images and comparing _those_ benchmarks would have been much more useful.
22:53	<icblenke>	as in "here's what a VMI linux guest looks like under VMWare, here's a PV guest under Xen doing the same"
22:53	<icblenke>	to that, I claim FUD.
22:54	<icblenke>	but they're waiting for 2.6.21 to do the benchmarks.
22:55	<aliguori_>	icblenke: well, the thing is, a lot of customers use vmware for windows
22:55	<aliguori_>	so most people are actually interested in windows performance
22:55	<aliguori_>	and i assume most people don't use HVM for linux anyway
22:55	<aliguori_>	you would just use a PV guest
22:55	<aliguori_>	so, it's the best that can be done for Xen. now, XenEnterprise is another story
22:56	<aliguori_>	but Xen != XenEnterprise
22:56	<icblenke>	it's still rather apples and oranges.
22:56	<icblenke>	right.
22:56	<aliguori_>	icblenke: IMHO, more benchmarking is the best thing.. not less
22:56	<aliguori_>	get some benchmarks of PV Xen verses VMware.
22:57	<aliguori_>	if VMware doesn't allow it, we can make that public
22:58	<aliguori_>	icblenke: i also have every expectation that VMI will be competitive with PV Xen
22:58	<icblenke>	VMware doesn't allow it.
22:58	<icblenke>	aliguori_: of that I have no doubt.

22:59	\|-\|	VS_ChanLog [~stats@ns.theshore.net] has joined #xen
22:59	<icblenke>	and from what I've read about hardware vt/svm, the hybrid software approach for 32bit guests is going to exceed the performance of pure vt/svm anyway.
23:03	<aliguori_>	icblenke: really depends on the benchmark
