[Xen-users] Xen (Dom0) and KVM simultaneously on same PC - is it possible?
Hello, Is it possible to run Xen (Dom0) and KVM on the same host PC? If yes, is it possible to run them simultaneously? The reason that I ask is because I presently use KVM but would like to try out Xen. However, I don''t want my KVM setup being messed up while playing with Xen. I''m using Fedora15 and the 3.0.0 kernel from mainline. Thank you in advance. --Vinu. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Thank you both, for answering my question. In the knowledge that Xen will not mess up my KVM configuration, I will play with Xen over the weekend.
