During installation of Xen Server I received a warning that my processor does not support VT, therefore Windows guests cannot be started, which is fine by me. However it appears I cannot built any VM regardless of the OS without getting the same error. In fact I cannot even start a blank VM. Is there no way for me to use some flavor of linux without VT? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Sure, use the Community Edition Xen 3.4.2 with your preferred kernel. so you can use paravirt guests with domU Kernel without having VT enabled...> During installation of Xen Server I received a warning that my > processor does not support VT, therefore Windows guests cannot be > started, which is fine by me.

Paste here, the DomU configuration... I assume that you use HVM, not paravirtualization.

Actually, my team mate informs me that he was trying to run Xen Server 5.5 inside a Windows 2008 HyperVisor VM. That''s why he was getting a HVM required message. We are just trying out Xen for the first time and did not have a physical server to spare. The error message we get is "HVM is required for this operation". Is this type of setup not possible where XenServer is inside a VM? I have previously tried VMWare ESX server using the same technique and it worked just fine. I have heard there may be a specially modified (paravirtualized??) version of linux that can be run without HVM support. Do you know what those are and where I can find them? -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of alberto Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 4:09 AM Cc: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] VT Requirement Paste here, the DomU configuration...
