Hello, I''m rather new to Xen I have a testbed running with 3 VMs on an old Athlon XP 2400+ with 512mb ram. So far the System is doing good. I was wondering if anyone has some real life values from productive Systems running Xen. I am planning to Replace a Virtuozzo Host with a Xen Machine. It is going to have 4GB of RAM and 2 Xeon CPUs with HT enabled. I am yet unsure if its better to use LVM or NFS Storage for the Datafiles. There will be 16 - 20 Virtual Machines running on the System, none with more than 128MB RAM allocated to it. Most of them do not Produce lots of CPU Usage or Disk I/O however there is short peaks where some of the Servers will create a significant load. Can I mix Debian and SuSE Virtual Machines without running into Problems ? Is it also possible to run FreeBSD as VM ? Last but not least does anyone know a good Support Company that would do the basic Setup or check my Setup, I don''t want to run into Problems later cause I missed a required Configuration Flag. Thank you Kind Regards Christian Keil _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

NFS is a network file system. You can create partitions with LVM and share them via NFS or just hand them directly to the VM as a disk.> Can I mix Debian and SuSE Virtual Machines without running into Problems ?Yes. Except for the Domain0, none of the domains know that any other domains exist, nor do they care. They are isolated and believe themselves to be the only OS running on the machine. -- Andrew Thompson http://aktzero.com/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
