Hello, I have a server with a tape. Of course my dom0 see it but I don''t want to manage backups from dom0 and want to do it with a guest. In that case I need to show the tape to the guest. I don''t know how to do it. Is there more than one way? Thanks for your help, nm _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You need newer Xen and dom0 kernel versions. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I didn''t chosen citrix one''s because I don''t like having only a windows xen client and on the other hand I like working directly with files and commands. In that case, when something crash I can manage the problem more easily as I could if I used to work with a web interface or an application client.> > You need newer Xen and dom0 kernel versions. > > -- Pasi > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Probably not. You should use the latest stable release, aka Xen 3.4.2 with linux-2.6.18-xen as dom0 kernel. That''s the official kernel/combination for Xen 3.4.x releases, and has all the features. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
