this can be very wrong if you want to use (live)-migration!
If you just want to start a VM, shutdown it later and restart it on the
other server, the two machines can be different.
This is how we intend to use at this stage anyway. The server
equptiment we are looking at is a IBM xSeries 336 for primary with
dual HT Xeons and a xSeries 306m with with a single HT Pentium 4...
RAID 5 on the primary, and RAID 1 on the fail over.
This setup will run 1 domU for mail storage and processing and
multiple domUs for pop/imap/smtp proxys and multiple apache/php/mysql
domUs. These are setup for virtual ASP clients.
