Hi there, I am quite beginner with the virtualization and Xen. How can I have a Windows server 2008 64 bit virtual machine on a Linux server CentOS5 64 bit using Xen framework? Note that the Linux server does not have GUI and everything needs to be done in command text mode. Any help would be really appreciated.

Dear Ian, Thanks for your reply. Could you please give me some clues as what the installation steps are and where should I start from? I have really no idea.

I have really no idea.I directed you to the wiki, did you have a look for these there? There is plenty of info on getting started and HOWTOs for specific stuff.

Hi Should I use Xen or XCP for this?
