Subject: [Xen-users] Compiling VMWare server against xen dom0
enabled kernel
Hi all,
I need to deploy several virtual machines (windows and RHEL) on my
laptop to do some demostrations to our customers. At this moment, my
laptop is a RHEL 4 ES U1 with xen enabled kernel 3.0.2
downloaded from
xensource.com (rpm packages) on a Pentium M 2GHz. My idea is
to install
VMWare Server on this laptop on dom0 (not on any virtual
machine) using
xen kernel sources from rpm packages. is this possible???
This would only work if Vmware's kernel modules are co-operative vs. the
Xen-kernel, which I very much doubt that they are. VMWare's kernel
module needs to know similar things that the Xen-kernel tracks and
"hides" from the domains, such as the REAL memory layout [machine
physical], the REAL register content for certain control registers, etc,
etc.
I haven't tried, so I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't expect it to
work, as the two versions of Virtual Machine Monitor would have to
"fight" over the same resources, and they are not co-operating in any
way.
If someone from VMWare is on this mailing list, maybe they could comment
further.
