similar to: Re: vmware inside Xen

I would like to have VMware modules running in the XEN kernel, NOT in DOM0 kernel but outside at the hypervisor level, is that possible? Architecturally, I noticed that xen subbranch does not implement any modules loading. If I were to load the VMware modules directly as an ELF image, will it break any existing architectural feature in XEN? Thanks :-).

Hello all, I know that the question: Is it possible to run quemu inside Xen domU or run Xen domain 0 on quemu have discussed earlier in this mail list. As far as I remember this is possible except such a configuration where kquemu acceleration is in use. But what about HVM-capable systems? Please tell me are there the same restrictions for the hvm-capable systems? Thank you! -- WBR,

Hi, For each domUs there is unique shared memory(2-way circular queue) and event-channel(one shared memory and event-channel per domU) or there is only one shared memory and interdomain event-channel(for every DomU)? regards: Amit _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Dear all; Has anyone tried the new CPU (codename Yonah) produced by Apple? I heard from the engineer of Apple that MacBook Pro is already reachable, although it is not distributed to the public until February. If anyone has some information, I would like to buy it to enlarge the frontier. -- Does Yonah demand xen/i86 or xen/ppc? Or we need brand-new source code? That is the problem. Is

Hello, Is it possible to run a Xen server inside of a kqemu/kvm/virtualbox VM? I am new to Xen, and Linux in general. (Just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my main laptop) The idea would be to try and learn about Xen before attempting to deploy on real HW. -- Thanks P.S. I do have an Intel VT capable CPU, if that matters. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo

Hi, Which of the Mercurial repos contains Linux kernel sources that were used to build the Xen 3.1 binary distribution? I have this question because I am suspecting that the sata_via driver included in the distribution is not supporting my SATA controller VIA8237x (I get error messages when modprobe''ing it from an init ramdisk).

Hello virtual friends. I''m using Windows HVM on CentOS 5.1, xen 3.1. When I conect VNC to Dom0 IP , I get correct screen, main windows console. But I have a very very poor mouse performance. I tried xensoure 4.1 , and I saw a mouse performance a little bit better than xen 3.1 w / CentOS 5.1. What is me problem, CentOS 5.1 or xen 3.1 , or compilation wrong maked by CentOS people. Why

Dear, I''m looking to get Xen running on a system that (afterwards) seems a bit too new. The board has the Intel G33 chipset with the Intel ICH9 southbridge. This chipset is NOT supported by kernel 2.6.18 which ships with Xen 3.1.2 (and Debian Etch). So the question is: * What version of Xen to install to get going? Should I choose unstable? * What distribution will be the easiest to get

Hi, Anyone knows whether how xenstore interface works on the Windows guest? If it does, how? I just want to send a small amount of data between dom0 and the Windows guest.

Hi All, The interface manual says - grant tables provide a generic mechanism sharing between domains. Subsequent lines suggest mechanism sharing between only unpriviliged domains. Can grant tables be used for this capability based shared memory communication between dom0 and domUs?

Hi, I have a few questions. But lets start with the background: Several other virtualization technologies beside Xen do provide the possibility to get configuration information of the VM itself and the host it is running on through the /proc file system. These technologies are for example zLinux or Linux on ppc64. This feature is very important for quality of service aspects. How many

Hi Users, Is it possible to create an HVM domain on NAS location. Did anybody tried this on RHEL5 ?
