Hi,
Some additional elements. Irrespective of the SCSI error reported
earlier, I have established that Solaris dom0 hangs anyway when a
domU is booted from a disk image located on an emulated ZFS volume.
Has this been also observed by other members of the community? Is
there a known explanation to this problem? What would be the
troubleshooting steps?
The hang I see isn't when booting on a zvol. I see hangs,
intermittently when using a zvol for anything xen related.
This is quite possible. The only interaction I have with zvol is when I
boot domU since I import disk images outside of the vbdcfg process.
The first I saw was while making the proto on a zvol, the second was
while creating a domU on a zvol (not booting it, just the vbdcfg).
I've been utterly unable to get any useful information out of the
machine at that point. I don't drop to the debugger, I *can't* drop
to the debugger, and the machine doesn't respond in any way (even to 3
C-a's, though that maybe a problem on my end).
As I've said elsewhere, I'm still trying to reproduce this in such a
way I can get some kind of information about it (and failing).
I'm not sure what you could do to troubleshoot it.
Do you/can you get into kmdb when this happens? Does sending 3
Control-a's to the console do anything?
Can switch from Xen to Dom0 back and forth but no prompt. kmdb hangs too
:-)
