Re: [Xen-users] Para-virtualization vs Full-virtualization
Short Answer: - Paravirtualization is done with a modified kernel that is "aware" that it''s being virtualized. This yields better performance, but requires either a) an open source kernel that the community has modified to support Xen, or b) the vendor responsible for the kernel to incorporate Xen support. Linux, some of the BSDs, and Opensolaris support para-virtualization. - Full Virtualization is done with a hardware emulation tool and processor-based virtualization support that allows you to run unmodified guest kernels that are not "aware" they are being virtualized. The result is that you give up performance on these platforms. Windows, NetWare, and most closed-source O/Ss require full virtualization. Many of these guests have PV drivers available, though, which allow for devices like disks, network cards, etc., to run with improved performance. -Nick>>> On 2010/05/03 at 10:00, dky hax <dkyhax@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello guys, > what are the differences between para-virtualization and full > virtualization? > > Thanks-------- This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Does anyone have a good, step-by-step--do-this, type-that--guide to getting Xen up and running? I''ve tried installing in with Ubuntu 9.10, and Fedora 12 but I''m not having much luck. So, this brings up two questions, really: 1) What is the *easiest* host/dom0 OS to get Xen running on? (Pref open source OS). 2) Where is there a good-easy to understand (for someone moderately experienced with *nix systems) install guide? Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Xen-users] Need an Idiot''s Guide to Installing Xen
If you have no experience openSUSE makes installing Xen simple. Just select it from YaST or during the initial install. openSUSE is currently at version 3.4.1. It''s not the latest but it''s newer than Ubuntu or Centos stock installs. You didn''t say what hardware you have, if it''s a 64 bit machine Centos is probably easiest to get a Xen 4 version running. Just check the wiki or the list archives as this has been discussed often in the past.

Re: [Xen-users] Need an Idiot''s Guide to Installing Xen & Libvirt on Ubuntu 10.04
This could be only partially related at best, but I think virt-manager also uses libvirt. I remember trying virt-manager on 10.04 and the pvm would disappear from the manager gui''s list right after starting it. It would be interesting to see if any of the steps in your guide has a positive effect on that as well.

Re: [Xen-users] Need an Idiot''s Guide to Installing Xen & Libvirt on Ubuntu 10.04
No, virt-manager doesn''t work on 10.04. Just virt-install works with option --connect xen:/// in command line , it''s better than nothing. It creates proper entry in xenstore Variable VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI="xen:///" is understood only by virsh, so domains from "xm list" may be started via virsh, but "virsh list" is empty. At install : # virt-install --connect xen:/// -n DomName -r 2048 . . . . creates PV & HVM DomUs and relaunches VNC console. At runtime : # xm list # virsh start DomName # vncviewer localhost:0 I would remind that "xm new dom.cfg" fails on Ubuntu''s. Obvious regression vs Ubuntu Server 9.10 (libvirt 0.7.0) Just as Solaris Nevada 3 years ago :) Boris. --- On Tue, 5/4/10, listmail <listmail@triad.rr.com> wrote: From: listmail <listmail@triad.rr.com> Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Need an Idiot''s Guide to Installing Xen & Libvirt on Ubuntu 10.04 To: "Boris Derzhavets" <bderzhavets@yahoo.com> Cc: "Xen User-List" <xen-users@lists.xensource.com> Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 3:58 PM This could be only partially related at best, but I think virt-manager also uses libvirt.
