Xen users - Mar 2007 - Windows HVM guest and SMP support with xen v3.0.3 ?

In order to know if I really need to try to build XEN v3.0.4 for a 
production server using until now the xen v3.0.3 debian package with 
kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-686 and PAE, I would like to know if someone succeed 
to run Windows XP or 2003 HVM guest with SMP support with intel-VT.

If it is, could you please tell me how did you do ?

  Franck

As far as I know, SMP support for HVM guest is not supported until at
least 3.0.4 - maybe not even then. It''s not so much that it
doesn''t work
to run SMP guests, but rather that the tools don''t allow the
information
about number of processors to be transferred from the configuration file
to the guest itself.

I believe you''re mistaken here.  We have a Linux (RH 7.2) HVM with SMP.
 It sees all of the CPUs (currently 2, but we''ve tried with 4 and 8)
assigned to it.

Our Xen is 3.0.3 (Fedora Core 6)
