I have a 32bit windows running on 2 dual core 64-bit xeon. since Windows is not even close to utilizing even 50% of the system, I am contemplating changing the system to xen and running the windows as a domU. I use ubuntu as my base system. as of the latest update it uses xen 3.0.3. I was wondering if I can install a 64bit version of xen and still run the 32bit windows without a problem? or should i install a 32bit version of xen to be safe? TIA, Tomoki _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I would encourage you to upgrade to at least 3.1.0 (3.1.1 is apparently scheduled for release soon), as windows support is much better.

To run 32bit DomUs under aa 64bit Dom0 ... you must have at least 3.1. That is one of the major features in 3.1.> -----Original Message----- > From: James Harper [mailto:james.harper@bendigoit.com.au] > Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 7:50 PM > To: Tomoki Taniguchi; xen-users@lists.xensource.com > Subject: RE: [Xen-users] 32bit windows under 64bit xen? > > > > I have a 32bit windows running on 2 dual core 64-bit xeon. > > since Windows is not even close to utilizing even 50% of the system, > > I am contemplating changing the system to xen and > > running the windows as a domU. > > > > I use ubuntu as my base system. as of the latest update it > > uses xen 3.0.3.

I thought that this was only true for PV, and that you could do it in earlier versions for HVM... Either way, sounds like another reason to use 3.1.x over 3.0.x.
