similar to: How to run Windows on Xen 3.0 with VT

Hi there We''re planning to buy a new server with a PentiumD with VT. Unfortunately we have some legacy server software which runs on Windows only and for that reason I have to install WindowsXP under Xen3. The problem is that I didn''t find too much documentation (tutorials, howtos, whatever) which describes installation and experiences with WinXP, besides some problem

Hi, Stop me If I am wrong but DELL 1855 aren''t shipped with Dual Core Xeons .... So you shouldn''t have any VT support on your server.

I''m using FC5 with its Xen 3.0.2-2 package and 2.6.16-1.2118_FC5xen0 kernel. I''ve got a Pentium 9xx chip with virtualization enabled in the BIOS; it appears to be VT-enabled, since xm dmesg includes "(XEN) VMXON is done". I base my config file on example.hvm and on previous emails to this list. Unfortunately, I don''t get very far. xm create winxp.conf

I don''t want my dom0 to update the clock in my HVM domU. I''ve already disabled network-based time synchronization inside the HVM. I''ve tried setting /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock=1 and then restarting xend, but the guest still gets the correct time. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Hi All, Just curious if anyone is currently using Xen 3on any of the new Intel Xeon processors that support the VT-x extentions. With the VT-x (or AMD's Pacifica) you can run unmodified guest operating systems...so we are looking into buying a new server to run a few virtual machines of CentOS & a few with Windows. If anyone has done this, I would love to hear about their

Hi, I''m runing a Fedora Core 6 on a Power Edge with Xeon Cranford that I planning to running Windows as a guest S.O. and reading "Fedora Xen Quickstar FC6" as document to install Xen on this server. This document recomend a "grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo" test to verify if computer is Intel VT supported. Running this command I don''t find any information about vmx.

Xen 3.0 is supposed to support Intel VT (Vanderpool) hardware. I can not find any place that has these Intel CPUs or systems. Anyone know where to get Intel VT (Vanderpool) CPUs or systems? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi all, I'm just curios and would like some input from the community on this one. We're busy budgeting for a couple of new servers and I thought it would be good to try out the Core i7 CPU's, but see the majority of them don't offer VT-d, but just VT-x. Looking at the LGA1366 range, only the "Intel lga1366 i7 980XE" (from the list of what our suppliers stock) have VT-d,

Hi Xen team, one short question before I grab the new machine of a colleague: did you build Xen3 for Sid with VMX (virtualization with the newer Vander...Pacifica)? Or will I have to build it myself? Sorry for the direct mail to this list, but I'm not subscribed to Debian-Users. Please CC me, as I'm also not subsribed here. Thx. kind regards, Wolfgang -- cheers,

So, as promised, here an first summary. Hardware: AMD Athlon64 X2-4600+ with Asus M2N-Mainboard. Just a short hint: By far not all memory modules work with the Asus boards! Make sure to have compatible ones... After 2 days of trial and error I got the following results: Debian "Sarge" x64: Doesn''t like the new nVidia SATA-Controller (will check today with PATA-interface)

Hi all! today I tried to start a vmx-domain with latest unstable-src.tarball. I used the vmx-example-config and changed the filename of my disk-image-file. When I try to create that domain I get a (11, Resource temporarily unavailable) error message. Has anybody seen that and can tell me "what" resource is unavailable. I can''t find anything that could help me in the logs.

Hi, someone know how to install/configure a domain for starting Windows? I have a server Dell, arrived just now, and I would like to try Windows in a Xen domain. -- Marco Natali <marco@natali.com> _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, recently I came across a deal on a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2850 servers and I was hoping to use them to run Debian with Xen to provided virtualization support for Windows 2003 and other Debian installations. I was hoping to install 2 copies of Windows 2003 as well as 2 copies of Debian all on top of the DOM0 Debian installation. The servers have dual 3.2ghz CPU''s and include 16GB

Hi there! I am currently setting up a Xen box on 3 VLans, each VLan interface is in a bridge and currently, dom0 is reachable from on of these and is performing great. My only problem is with domU : it can ping anything but it won''t work for TCP and UDP protocol UNLESS I do a manual tcpdump on my vlan interface. Bridges on dom0: xen-vl97 8000.001372529fbf no

Hi list, i have seen a lot of questions about VT-d on recent intel mobos. however, it seems that all tests are done on the newer socket 775-based xeon''s or core2''s, and not the 5000 series (socket 771 based). i was planning on getting a intel S5000V chipset, but found out that it does not support VT-d. Can anyone confirm a mobo that has this enabled and also has 2x LGA771

I''m pleased to announce a new project called XenAccess. The project goals are to provide a full featured introspection library for Xen. Introspection is a technique where applications in one domain can view memory from another domain. For example, you can run an application in dom0 to list the processes or LKMs in a domU. More information is available on the website:

Package: xen-utils-3.0 Severity: wishlist Please include support for HVM-based guests. This allows hardware virtualization on systems with Intel's chips with VT (IE, Pentium D 930), and AMD's future chips with Pacifica. HVM allows you to run unmodified operating systems under Xen, such as Windows XP/2003. The following files are needed: /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm

Hello, I am looking into building a workstation using Xen to host several operating systems. Looking at the pci passthrough requirements of Xen4.1 on the VTdHowTo<http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo>page, I am a little puzzled with the fact that only Intel Core2Duo (with VT-x), Core2Quad, i7 and Core i5 (vPro Brand) CPU''s are supported while motherboards with the i55x0
