Windows SBS 2008 64 very unstable

Post by dimasfs »

Hello,

we want to virtualize our PDC. At this time we are testing how stable will a MS SBS 2008 64 guest running on a Fedora 13 64. We are using VirtualBox 3.2.6
The guest should run Headless with 5GB Memory and 4 Processor cores. The Host is a 4 Dual Core with 8GB of RAM.
Problem is, up to now I could not get the guest system running a single day without having to reset it. The logs shows some errors that I cannot really understand.
Right after installing the Guest Additions the following error starts to appear:

Code: Select all

Guest Log: VBoxService.exe: Error: VMInfo/Users: LsaGetLogonSessionData failed, LSA error 0x520
The newest error on the Log is this one after I left the RDP connection open through the weekend:

Code: Select all

ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005) aIID={7c0f2eae-f92d-498c-b802-e1a3763774dc} aComponent={Mouse} aText={Could not send the mouse event to the virtual mouse (VERR_PDM_NO_QUEUE_ITEMS)} aWarning=false, preserve=false
ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005) aIID={2d1a531b-4c6e-49cc-8af6-5c857b78b5d7} aComponent={Keyboard} aText={Could not send scan code 0x000000E0 to the virtual keyboard (VERR_PDM_NO_QUEUE_ITEMS)} aWarning=false, preserve=false
Can somebody point me any directions on how to solve these problems?
Is it a good idea at all to virtualize a PDC with VirtualBox?

Thanks,
Dimas

Hi,
The guest should run Headless with 5GB Memory and 4 Processor cores.

Code: Select all

00:00:00.109 Logical host processors: 4, processor active mask: 000000000000000f
00:00:00.109 ************************* CPUID dump ************************
...
00:00:00.110 Full Name:                       Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X3360  @ 2.83GHz
try with less than 4 CPUs for the guest: the host has only 4 cores

Thanks for the reply fixedwheel.

I'll set it for 2 cores and test it through the week. Hope it works.

Hi there,

still having the same problem, just got to work after the weekend and I can't connect using vrdp. I already tested using the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X clients, without success.

I guess I'll have to reset it again... :-(

Any idea? Anyone?

Btw. the guest doesn't even answer to the command "VBoxManage controlvm machine_name reset" or "VBoxManage controlvm machine_name poweroff". I had to kill the PID. :-(

I also met this problem under opensuse 11.2(2.6.31) with guest win sbs 2008 64bit!
I tried virtualbox from 3.2.2 to 3.2.8. They all crashed!
the better one is 3.2.6 with 2.6.34.2, but the guest can't run more than one month continuously!
I ever tried 2.6.31 vanilla kernel. It even crashed more soon!
Does anyone have any suggestion?

Thanks & Regards
