[Xen-users] New to Xen Community - Need help configuring
Hi, I am new to the world of Xen, Hypervisor & Virutalization. Our business demands to have a multiple Windows XP OS run as Guest OS on XEN platform, to reduce the hardware footprint we have. This business demand being said, I was given a bare PC which have E6550 Intel processor which support virtualization at the processor level. Now here are the questions I have, 1) Reading different articles pointed me that I need some OS as Dom0. Why so? Can''t XEN itself act as a OS? 2) I believe lot of options are there to choose a Dom0. I like to take a Linux flavor as DOM0. Can you please point me to place where I can get bootable image(iso file) of a Linux? 3) Now where can I get step-by-step procedure to install Linux, XEN & Windows XP as guest OS? 4) Is my understanding on configuring XEN as given below is correct? 1) First I need to install a OS, which would act as Dom0 2) Install XEN on top of it 3) Configure XEN 4) Install and configure guest operating systems ( Windows XP) RegardsSuresh _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com lists.xensource.com/xen-users
