Hi,
I''m looking for information and guidance on how to deploy
a 64-bit Xen HV running either VT-{x|i} or AMD-V with 32-bit
unprivileged guests.
1) Can I use the open-source Xen implementation to run 32-bit Win XP
in multiple domU(s)? I am guessing that I need hardware that supports
either AMD-V or VT-{x|i} to do that. I don''t want to run any kind of
doctored Windows XP implementation. I just want to run the vanilla product.
2) Furthermore, can I run this kind of configuration on a 64-bit chip
with up to 128GB of memory?
3) If I run with this kind of configuration, what''s the preferred OS
for
dom0? 64-bit Debian? 32-bit Debian? Solaris? RedHat?
4) Is there a blog or a FAQ that addresses these kinds of neophyte
questions?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated and, most definitely,
heeded.
Thanks in advance,
JP

Solaris? RedHat?Uhm if you going to buy hardware it is worth to thing about sun x86 flavor servers (I''m really enjoy my two x4150 connected via FC to an sun stk 2540), furthermore it is really easy to install Nevada Comunity Express (currently I use build 97). Furthermore Sun XVM Server will be free of charge even in productive use and will be shipped (fully available as free download on suns homepage) with PV drivers for windows, so it may be the most comfortable choice. Especially with two equal servers you could reduce downtimes and additionally enterprise level support contracts are possible depending what you''d like to do.
