Editing Test Day:2009-05-07 Virtualization:XenDomU

See [[Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization]].

This test area is concerned with Xen DomU functionality, which is based on the pv_ops work in upstream Linux.  We need to make sure that Xen DomU is roughly as functional as the earlier, non-upstream versions of Xen DomU (i.e. RHEL-5, Fedora 8, etc.).

== Prerequisites ==

You need a distribution with Xen Dom0 support.  This can either be Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, CentOS 5, Suse, Fedora 8, etc.  We also highly recommend that your distribution is fully updated to the latest released packages.

If you are running a RHEL-5 Dom0, there are some 5.4 preview packages available [http://people.redhat.com/clalance/virttestday here].  These packages should allow you to do 32pv-on-64 dom0 testing, if you are so inclined. Note that these packages are '''not''' supported by Red Hat in any way, they are just for testing.

== Tests ==

Follow each of these test cases:

# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Guest_installation|Guest install]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Memory_Ballooning|Memory ballooning]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Save_and_restore|Save/restore]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Live_migration|Live migration]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Pause|Guest pause/unpause]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_CPU_hotplug|CPU hotplug]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Network|Network devices]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Block_attach|Block attach/detach]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_PVFB|Paravirt framebuffer]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Crash_dump|Guest crash dump]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Execshield|Execshield]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_GDB|GDB]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Static_binaries|Statically linked binaries]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_Cmdline_params|Kernel command line parameters]]
# [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_XenDomU_No_NX|Host machine lacking NX support]]

If possible each of the tests should be repeated for:

# 32-bit DomU on a 32-bit Dom0
# 32-bit DomU on a 64-bit Dom0
# 64-bit DomU on a 64-bit Dom0

== Results ==

If you have problems with any of the tests, file a bug report in [https://bugzilla.redhat.com bugzilla].

Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the table below.
