[Xen-users] installing xen in dom0 which runs on Vmware
I would like to test Xen on Ubuntu 10.04 in a Vmware environment. i.e. Dom0 used to install Xen is itself running as guest (which is Ubuntu 10.04) in Vmware and then would install Xen on this guest from sources. So this Vmware guest would work as Dom0 for Xen in my experiment. I remember some time back I was told it is not possible to create one more guest in this condition here I am referring to guest which I would create on dom0 which is itself running in Vmware. What I want to know if this way of experimenting is correct or the results in this case would differ from installing it on an actual production machine. I do not have a lot of fancy machines to try out my experiment so I am planning this method. In case if you have any other suggestion let me know. My laptop does not support virtualization and the OS is Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) -- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You should be able to run PV subguests, however HVM subguests will not work. -Dustin On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 6:58 AM, Tapas Mishra <mightydreams@gmail.com>wrote:> I would like to test Xen on Ubuntu 10.04 in a Vmware environment. > i.e. Dom0 used to install Xen is itself running as guest (which is > Ubuntu 10.04) > in Vmware and then would install Xen on this guest from sources. > So this Vmware guest would work as Dom0 for Xen in my experiment. > > I remember some time back I was told it is not possible to create one more > guest in this condition here I am referring to guest which I would > create on dom0 which is itself > running in Vmware. > > What I want to know if this way of experimenting is correct or the > results in this case > would differ from installing it on an actual production machine. > > I do not have a lot of fancy machines to try out my experiment so I am > planning this method. > In case if you have any other suggestion let me know. > > My laptop does not support virtualization and the OS is Ubuntu 10.04 (64 > bit) > > > > -- > > _______________________________________________ > 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
