Hi,

I am using xen-3.0.2 in Centos-4.2 Dom-0 and have the below line in my
config file

vif = ['mac=aa:00:00:4b:46:8f, bridge=xenbr0, vifname=myvps']

which works fine for me. I have configured 3 ips on this dom-U and I am
ale to communicate using each ips.


Could you please explain what your reply has to do with my question (see below)?
Are you running this setup on one of the mentioned machines?

Hi,
Since a while I am curious to buy a machine with hardware
virtualization support. Finally, they start to become available here
in Germany.

So, I want to get such a machine. I want to buy a dell inspiron 6400
or an IBM thinkpad T60 which are said to have such a mobile processor
with hardware virtualization - does anybody have experiences with these?

Looking in the Hardware compatibility page in the wiki, and the one
which is linked from the xensource.com download page(results from xen
test cd, seems not be updated since a while), I see that there is not
even a single machine listed as compatible with xen which has one of
the new core duo pentium D 9xx processors or the centrino duo
processors which are said to have hardware virtualization.

Can, in general the support for unmodified guest in xen as well as in
the hardware that can be bought really be called mature, and ready for
production?

Henning
