I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS to host KVM virtual machines. I'm using eucalyptus to manage them and having a lot of issues with libvirt not being able to interface with the KVM components and timing out. This is causing Eucalyptus to think the instances are dead.

Noticing a lot of these messages in the kern.log. Can anyone help me determine what these mean?

  • How's your storage sub-system doing? Last time I saw those messages, the server's 3ware RAID was slowly dying. – Magellan May 10 '12 at 20:28
  • It's running on a single SSD for the root filesystem, and the other mounted filesystem is a SAN connnected over iSCSI – wjimenez5271 May 10 '12 at 23:13
