>After reading most of the mails that you''ve generated on this list, >I''m still unclear exactly what you want to achieve.ok let me tell you in detail.... I am basically doing testing of XEN and its various features. Our concern is whether XEN would be a important feature in coming time or not. Well at the moment VMWare has got a market, whereas if you ll compare it with XEN, i guess xen is much better in respect cost, performance, security and so on.... But at the same time there are few limitations to it like having a specific hartdware but i guess that add on to its performance and there are not much people who would chose XEN because of few complexities. So while testing with XEN, i have come across many issues.. 1.) Firstly, I installed openWBEM in dom0 and my concern was to check whether it gives virtual harware value or real value.. So after getting openWBEM working, i cant see many instances created(may be thats novell created provider fault). I left with the only option of memory to compare. And which makes it clear that dom0 gives virtual value... reason :- It reduces the memory taken by virtual machine and shows the rest amount. May be this is the way it works but what about disk space and things like that. How does basically this works over XEN....? Yeah this confuses me, well the other thing that gets into my mind is that virtual machine is taking memory from the dom0 and dom0 further takes memory from hardware and reduces its current value and then show it as the rediced value in openWBEM. 2.) Secondly, Drivers matter. For instance i have got a driver which retrieves info about fan speed, sys temperature and all. So for this do i just have to incude the drivers to linux and the things are done or do i have to include it to linux-xen environment to get that to work.... Or is there any other concept to determine that yeh this driver has got this functionality so we have to include it with xen or something similar..... And i am not really sure about what patches are exactly, some one said earlier that you write drivers for linux and then add xen patches to it..what is this xen patch ? How can i achieve that ? is there any documentation describing the same ? And why would one include drivers to xen for getting information from hardware. As its completely virtual and it should not make any sence to include such drivers to xen environment... So basically how does this work if you look into it in detail ? And one of the guy i know has got a source code for one of our company drivers but i dont knw at the moment what exact info that gives but could be a good option for testing purpose if you could let me know the steps now i should perform. 3.) Thirdly, I have to proof that xen is better then various other hypervisor like Altiris - LVMM (only 1 virtual machinhe is possible over it, but they chalenge for security which i guess is not right. The viertual machine should be not dependent over host for its security whereas in LVMM they have some concept like this), VMWare and so on.... As general what to do you all think about XEN future. and what about the big companies think about it if you read it somewhere... Things like this are coming up at the moment and there is no much support for XEN but according to me XEN should get a lead but thats my assumption... Any extra information or link that you would like to share with me which gives more detail about xen in this matter then please do share.

Re: [Xen-users] How to add additional drivers to xen-kernel ?
I think these questions have been answered a number of times by people
on this mailing list that are trying to help you. You, however, seem to
keep asking the same questions over and over again which leaves me to
one of the following conclusions:
a) You''re not listening.
b) You don''t understand.
c) You have nothing better to do with your time.
In the first two cases perhaps you need to do a little homework yourself
and then come back to this mailing list so that you can ask *specific*
questions that others might be able to help you with. If it''s the
third
case then could you please go some place else?

well first of all you ask me to tell you in detail and then you say i am repeating questions...obviously what i asked before was similar to what i asked in detail. You were quite confident and i thought you might presnt your view in some great way. But nevermind it happens.. I understood most of the things but yeh few things are still unclear but there is no point asking here as there are no much people who knows much about this except mats i guess..And he already gave me enough information. So thanks to him Anyway i agree about the homework thing, so i should not waste my time in writing now. Ill better do some homework...cya Thanks Marduk-5 wrote:> > I think these questions have been answered a number of times by people > on this mailing list that are trying to help you.
