similar to: Running VMware image in a XEN domU.

Not that VMWare have released VMWare Server as a free product i''m interested in using it where my hardware isn''t VT enabled to run non-linux environments. Ideally I''d like to run it on the Xen Dom0 environment so that I can run a mixture of Linux DomU and Windows VMWare instances. Any ideas if this is feasible, and which version of Xen I should be considering. At

Hi there, is it possible to install a FreeBSD as Xen VM? All links which i found at google were down :( Anyone a good and simple howto? greetz -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Daniel mailto:daniel@listmails.de _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi All, Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am walking into someone else''s xen install, and don''t have access to the host os at the moment. How do I tell just from a domU (with Ubuntu) if it is PV or HVM. I have looked through the forums and documentation and it seems to be very easy to figure this out from dom0, but unfortunately that isn''t possible at the

Hi all! Anyone tried to install vmware on a xen system (ie. vmware player on dom0?). David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi! Is there any experience of converting vmware''s vmdk file to a domU image? Maybe via extracting vmdk (how?) -> build tar -> untar in domU? That would be very nice despite replacing the original kernel with a self-built one and worthy to write a script... :) Cheers, Sven. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

Hi, Im trying to install Netware and Windows 2008 server but im having problems with it reading the ISO. Im guessing this is because im running version 3.2.1 debian packages so i want to upgrade to unstable and use the 3.4 deb packages. My problem is that there isn''t a kernel package so when booting you cant boot into xenified kernel mode. If i try and use a kernel from the

I''ve been looking at anti-virus software for Xen use on Linux systems, on both Dom0 and DomU, in industrial environments. Reviewing documentation on various packages seems to show that all the commercial ones insist on sticking kernel modules into a limited set of standard known kernels. This of course creates some serious risks until the anti-virus packages are developed in and

Hi, although it is primarily a VirtualBox problem, but maybe someone knows the answer here. I read that it is not possible to run vbox on dom0. http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2383 Is it possible to run it on domU?

I''m running Xen 3.2 on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) and am having trouble booting up a Debian Etch DomU. It hangs at the end when it says "Starting periodic command scheduler: cron." It''s just completely frozen. At one point I set it sit for a few hours and got back into the console and it said something about "time went backwards" but I used the

Some background - I have a couple of NetBSD (i386) boxes and CentOS 5 boxes that I want to virtualise and I''m trying to work out which OS will be most suitable as the dom0. I have a desire to run at least RAID1 and ideally ZFS mirroring on the dom0 so I can have all the domU''s not have to worry about disk redundancy etc. My hardware : I have a brand new Intel E8200 core2duo and

Hi, I''m trying to build non sles10 domU under sles10 dom0. I''ve downloaded centos and debian images from www.jailtime.org fixed the config file and try to start domU. After creating domU from images I get Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I''m running without problems two sles10 domU machines. After using google allot :-)

I''ve been trying to virtualize SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 for various reasons, and found that the Xensource 4.x doesn''t support it, nor does the open source Xen 3.x in any of the environments I''ve tried. It works on VMware, but for various reasons I prefer to use Xen on my Dom0. (I like open source, and the base OS for the commercial reasons is much, much more recent, and

If a DomU was compramised, could the Dom0 or other DomUs be compramised? I guess I''m trying to work out how much isolated Xen gives.. Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I am using a debian 9 guest, hosted on a ESXi platform with nested virtualisation enabled. On this debian 9 guest when I run libguesfs-test-tool, it fails with an error: "qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-DqynNa/qemu-2.8+dfsg/target-i386/kvm.c:1805: kvm_put_msrs: Assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed." Instead when I use a wrapper script and hook it with the env

Can I run 8/07 fully virtualised on an Intel VT CPU (with a Linux Dom0)? I gave up on 11/06 because of real mode problems. If not, does anyone have an estimate of when this might be possible, if at all? Thanks - Evan

For stability reasons, I'm running CentOS 4 for VMware (it's the devil I know). Are there any compelling reasons to upgrade to CentOS 5 for it? I'm relatively new to the whole virtualisation scene and perhaps there are some updated packages that might be good for VMware?

Hi folks, Now that CentOS 5 is out with Xen, I can theoretically take better advantage of my nice Intel processor with the virtualization piece than I can with VMware Server. Ideally what I would like to do is install CentOS 5 as a dom0, then run my existing CentOS 4.x installation as a domU while I figure out how to do other interesting things (like install Solaris 10 and Windows as domU

I have a chipset which supports VT-d (Intel X58) and, according to my motherboard manufacturers, VT-d is enabled in the BIOS and listed as "Intel VT." The problem is that xm dmesg shows "I/O virtualisation disabled" and I get this error message when I try to create a domU with a pci device assigned: ''Error: failed to assign device: maybe the platform doesn''t
