Hi!
Is there any advance in using a CPU which supports Intel VT
when having only paravirtualized domUs?
Or does VT only help when there are fully virtualized Guests?
How do i enable the usage of VT in FC6''s Xen?
Kind Regards,
Christian Reiter

A paravirtualized guest is already much faster than a fully-virt guest, regardless of VT.> How do i enable the usage of VT in FC6''s Xen?There''s nothing to enable[1] - if your CPU supports it, Xen will let you create HVM guests, if your CPU doesn''t support it, then you won''t be able to use HVM. Regards, Dan. [1] Well, ok VT may be disabled if your BIOS if using Intel CPUs. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
