Linux distributions supported by Xen as PVM domUs
Hi: Reading Red Hat''s Website and a printed manual of RH184 (Red Hat Virtualization course) I see that RHEL 5 only supports RHEL 4.5 and RHEL 5 as paravirtualized guests. So I asume this is the same situation for CentOS 5, right? What''s the dependency between Xen versions for paravirtualized guests? I ask this questions because I got this experiences: 1. Running CentOS 5 as Dom0 - RHEL 4.5/CentOS 4.5 paravirtualized install, boot and works O...

Paravirtualized Debian (on CentOS host)
In order to create a paravirtualized guest/DomU, should i use the same distro as the host/dom0 is? Or is it possible to install a paravirtualized Debian (as a guest / DomU) into a CentOS (host / Dom0) ?

Paravirtualized Centos 5.5 guest under Xen
The virtualization manual doesn't seem to say; does one have to do anything to get the Centos 5.5 paravirtualization drivers installed? Or is it sufficient to specify a paravirtualized guest, and the Centos install will then detect that and load the right things? And, is there a way to check in the guest that the right drivers are loaded? What are they? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://d...

How do I see that a xVM is running as paravirtualized
I have followed a combination of instructions from this post and have been able to get an Ubuntu paravirtualized instance running under snv_96. Is there a way to "list" the fact that it is paravirtualized? For example, xm list, virsh list, etc. thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Window Server 2003 will not run as paravirtualized?
Hello: According to the Red Hat Virtualization Guide, Windows Server 2003 32-bit will only run as a fully virtualized guest on an AMD64 system. I thought I have seen a lot of discussion about running paravirtualized Windows on CentOS. Is that a bad idea?

In the case of memory > hotplug, ACPI already defines that interface. I partly agree in the world of ACPI. If you just want to add/remove memory in the form of DIMMs, yes. This already works just fine. For other approaches in the conte...

Paravirtualized Solaris Update 6 (10/08)?
Gurus; I''ve been running Solaris 10 on a HVM domain on my machine (running SXCE snv_93 x86) for some time now.

paravirtualized vs HVM disk interference (85% vs 15%)
Hi, We have found that exist a huge degradation in performance when doing I/O to a disk images contained in single files from a paravirtualized domain and from an HVM at the same time. The problem was found in a Xen box with Fedora 8 x86_64 binaries installed (Xen 3.1.0 + dom0 Linux 2.6.21). The test hardware was a rack mounted server with two 2.66 Ghz Xeon X5355 (4 cores each one, 128 Kb L1 cache and 8 Mb L2 cache), 4Gb of RAM and...

[PATCH 0/9] i386 MMU paravirtualization patches
These patches provide the infrastructure for paravirtualized MMU operations while at the same time cleaning up and optimizing the pagetable accessors for i386. They should be largely uncontroversial and are well tested. There are still some performance gains to be had for paravirtualization, but it is more important to get the native code base that w...

Hi all, I'm setting up a virtualization software on CentOS, using virt-manager, KVM, qemu and Xen When I want to create a VM, paravirtualized mode isn't possible (ie it is grey) What should I do to use xen paravirtualized mode ? i figured that xen is not running but /etc/init.d/xend start doesn't work xen and xen-kernel are installed on the machine (rpm -qa | grep xen replies : xen & xen-kernel) thanks for all help -...

Paravirtualization on VMware's Platform [VMI].
Hi, We ran a few experiments to compare performance of VMware's paravirtualization technique (VMI) and hardware MMU technologies (HWMMU) on VMware's hypervisor. To give some background, VMI is VMware's paravirtualization specification which tries to optimize CPU and MMU operations of the guest operating system.
