Start ovs monitor, look at the tabs’ name, you probably know how many function that OVS offer, this give me a big picture of integrate ova into openstack. 2013/12/22

still working on the property window, when executing the titan language, some status need to displayed to user. Try to make it more informative, so user can see everything to the instance. 2013/12/08

Titan networking layers representation 2013/12/07

Finally feel satisfied with this design 🙂 🙁 But the bad news is, i can’t do any openstack thing in the day-time job. Wasting time to cooperate with someone whom stop/resume the project every week. I don’t even able to pickup the call from community, can’t attend any seminar or gathering. They just want to […] 2013/12/07

We can set openstack quota for different tenant, little step forward. 2013/12/06

Tonight working on quota screen, allow user to adjust the quota is useful. 2013/12/04

I am still focusing on design the VM screen, in the VM screen, need to meet these requirements Display real time status, include CPU usage, memory usage. The GUI need to has some basic AI to auto-grouping the elements. Better to show the user by layers (network layer, database layer, application server layer, OS layer), […] 2013/12/03

Designing dashboard screen, need to meet these goals: 1) able to show status of VM 2) i think people usually have less than 32 VMs runnning, so the design will be optimized to show 32 VMs 3) i will reference redhat cloudforms interface 2013/11/22

Here is a working example using web socket to stream screen to html 5 player. The server is in java, I use websockify.py to route the websocket to java socket. html 5 player 2013/10/22

SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this); will reset your own UI, if you call setUI() in constructor. Example: PeterCustomeTabbedPane —– extend ——> MaryCustomTabbedPane —-  extend ->   JTabbedPane (swing component) Suppose PeterCustomeTabbedPane and MaryCustomTabbedPane have their own TabbedPaneUI, once you called SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this); , PeterCustomeTabbedPane’s UI class will be reset to MaryCustomTabbedPane’s UI class. Workaround: !!! dont call setUI in PeterCustomeTabbedPane, override the setUI() method and set whatever […] 2013/10/13

I am playing the gdbstub in qemu, i found a bug there http://peter.kingofcoders.com/?p=859 , if i invoke the function cpu_physical_memory_rw(0xffff0, mem_buf, 50, 0) , qemu crashes. Then, i tested the gdb command “x /20bx 0xffff0” and use tcpflow to capture the gdb packet, i found out gdb send 20 command and each time request one byte only. […] 2013/10/08

I found a bug in qemu, version 1.6.0 rc2. When i invoke: where addr=0xffff0 and noOfBytes=50, qemu will has segmentation fault. I called the cpu_physical_memory_rw right after the qemu is started (haven’t run yet) with gdb. The vm was in real mode, i am not sure it is crossing memory boundary problem. But i just […] 2013/10/07

QMP Supported Commands:   This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP. Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage, QEMU’s manual, etc) can and should be consulted. QMP has two types of commands: regular […] 2013/09/22

In bochs, i can invokes around 40 single step commands in my 2012 mac air. People think qemu is much faster than bochs, it is truth but not for single step. I wrote a java program and keep sending single-step command to qemu through socket (GDB protocol, the average speed is 32 commands per seconds. […] 2013/08/18

I was trying to create a new debug server in qemu, but it is failed, there are so many pieces of code are twitted with GDB, so a new debug server is unable to make it work. Now I changed my direction, because on gdb communication protocol, i extend it to fit for peter-bochs (will […] 2013/08/15

The cloud computing industry is still young relative to the history of computing, but increasingly, speculators are in a rush to declare a “winner.” Of course, based on certain metrics it’s possible to identify leaders. But we certainly don’t think the game is over, and we were pleased to see that Charlie Babcock of InformationWeek agrees with […] 2013/07/23

This is the flowchart for qemu-gdb after i insert two breakpoints at 0x7c00 and 0x7c01, you can see everytime gdb hit a breakpoints, it will remove all breakpoints. And if the current address is the address that hit the breakpoint, when you want to “cont”, gdb will send a “s” command first. 2013/06/12
