[Xen-users] Network card full virtualized windows

Good morning,
I installed on xen a windows XP and a Windows 2003 domU.
Windows operating system does not know the real network card but it setup up
an AMD pcnet card 10mbps.
Is it possible to setup a full virtualized domU with a real network card ?


I installed also windows on a trial xen enterprise and real network 
card seeems to work fine.

What differences between xen and xen entrprise as far as network card 
is concerned ?


Thanks Igna

Yes, that''s what I''d expect (although you can choose one of
three
different network card types [at least in the latest version(s)]. 

It is currently not possible to connect a real network card to a HVM
domain, as that requires address translation from the guest to the
machine memory addresses. If you look for a recent post by me in the
Xen-devel mailing list, you''ll see what I mean. 

Note that the 10Mbps is irrelevant, as this is a FAKE network card
supplied by the device model that the virtual machine uses to
"simulate"
the hardware inside the virtual machine.

That''s news to me, as I think Xen enterprise actually uses the same
Xen-kernel as the open source version, but has other add-ons.

I wouldn''t know that - there is a mailing list for Xen enterprise.

Re: [Xen-users] Network card full virtualized windows

Hi,
 may i ask you about W2003 on domU ?
i''m experiencing a problem regarding 2GB RAM limit,
it doesn''t look as W2003 problem, cause it does not boot with

mem=2048 or more

if there is mem=2047 everything is ok.

thx.

Re: [Xen-users] Network card full virtualized windows

Hi, I am able to installe w2003 with mem=2048 .
The problem was the sdl=1 in the configuration file.
If use vnc=1 and sdl=0 the installation works better.

Ignazio, what kind of platform did u used ? 32 or 64bit?
i''m asking because of it looks like 32 bit W2003 do have a problem
with such amount of memory.

does anybody experienced with this ?
32 bit Windows on Xen with mem=2048 or more for domU
