Just one caveat though, there isn''t any PCI pass-through support. I have a paravirtualised Netware 6.5 SP8 (a.k.a OES2 SP1) server running on a SLES10 Dom0 and it works great.

You should definitely be able to get it to work with other dom0 distros and O/Ss, but you might start there if this is a big concern for you. -Nick -------- This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Hi all, Sorry for the delay. Im using Debian Lenny with the Debian package for Dom0. Ive not tried the suggested URLs as yet, i couldn''t get into the office today because of the snow. I didn''t realise you couldn''t setup netware straight from the CD as you can with Windows etc. Ill be trying this out on Monday hopefully, though netware is now dated it would be good to free up some physical boxes and build a fresh netware box on DomU.

Ive not tried the suggested URLs as yet, i couldn't get into the office today because of the snow. I didn't realise you couldn't setup netware straight from the CD as you can with Windows etc. Ill be trying this out on Monday hopefully, though netware is now dated it would be good to free up some physical boxes and build a fresh netware box on DomU.

Novell guys should be > able to help you more with this.Ian, What Linux distro are you using for dom0? Novell has built SLES10 and SLES11 with specific support for NetWare. You should definitely be able to get it to work with other dom0 distros and O/Ss, but you might start there if this is a big concern for you. -Nick -------- This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Docs exist at Novell''s web site. I think I was able to convert a 6.5 real to virtualized by first installing a test server using their new guest install procedure and then copying the necessary files (PV drivers) to the C:\NETWARE folder. It has been a couple of years, so I don''t remember the details. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
