For full-virtualisation, hardware support is required. (on the Xen mailinglist on 15 februari 2007, Mats Petersson from AMD) * The “pacifica” which is now caled AMD-V is fairly easy to determine - if it uses Socket F, Socket AM2 then it's AMD-V compatible, unless it's a Sempron processor. Another key would be to look at the memory type, as all DDR2 processors (excluding Sempron's again) are AMD-V capable. text/html 2011-02-07T19:05:51+02:00 https://hannibal.solstice.nl/hannibalwiki/xen:creation_of_a_domu?rev=1297101951&do=diff DomU creation Debian 6 (Squeeze) with KVM A convenient way to prepair an image is by using KVM on your workstion.

As the Xen guest won't run on more than one cluster member at a time, a cluster filesystem is not required. That is, as long as you configure Xen to access the Xen guest by a physical device, not a file. Furthermore, if you want to share the Xen guest configuration files, then a cluster filesystem is required as soon as… text/html 2008-06-26T08:16:34+02:00 https://hannibal.solstice.nl/hannibalwiki/xen:pass_devices_to_the_domu?rev=1214460994&do=diff For example, you want to use a tape device in a domU. Therefore you need a PCI adapter, which is not used in the dom0. Then pass this device (entirely) to the domU. First find out the numbers. Second, use pciback.hide in grub.conf (on you dom0) to hide your SCSI card. text/html 2011-02-07T17:31:39+02:00 https://hannibal.solstice.nl/hannibalwiki/xen:start?rev=1297096299&do=diff Xen namespace: One of the reasons we use Xen based virtualization is to create a scalable and flexible development and test platform for the Hannibal system stack.
