Hello everyone, I''m studying XEN these days, and totally a newbie for XEN world. Recently, I''m assigned to move our OS to run on XEN, I means, paravitualization. I know a bit about XEN technique, and I tried to look into Linux code, but it seems too many threads to get understood it ... Now, I have no idea how to proceed my project... Can anyone give some advice? Any suggestion from you will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Thanks a million, Min. If you can tell me where I can get extras/minios will be greatly appreciated! Another problem, I notice there is project named HXEN, aiming to run XEN core hypervisor on regular operating system and currently support windows and Mac X. Does that mean I can install XEN on windows as an application and create my own virtual machine on it? And does it use the paravirtualization technique? (Actually, I need a environment to test.)

Hi, I wish to port my OS to run on Xen as a DomU. Could you please guide me or give some reference material as a starting point.

Xen support unmodied guest OS. So you can just run your OS in HVM guest except your OS used un-documented features. -----Original Message----- From: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of madhuri Sent: 2010年11月28日 14:35 To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-devel] Re: port OS to XEN Hi, I wish to port my OS to run on Xen as a DomU.

Thanks! However if i wish to use it as a modified guest ie..run it para-virtualized, how should I do it. I have the Xen -Interface manual...but I was wondering if there is an example I could follow?

"The Definitive Guide to Xen" is about the best source of information for this. It is outdated in some topics, but AFAIK it is single available book about how to write own PV kernels for Xen. And also very good book about Xen. В Сбт, 27/11/2010 в 23:12 -0800, madhuri пишет:> Thanks! However if i wish to use it as a modified guest ie..run it > para-virtualized, how should I do it.

Any of the other existing PV OSes might also be a useful reference.
