RE: [Xen-users] Install Xen on non-op based PC
We decide to use Citrix Xen
Server 4.1 express edition… it side support 4 concurrent VMs per PC. Can I set up VMs more than 4 on
certain pc thus I could choose any of them as the “4 concurrent VM”?

Hi All,
I am a newer for Xen and Linux.
I am wondering if I could install Xen to PC directly without any OP has
installed. Or must I install a linux on PC before install Xen? Somebody told me
that I can install Xen as a OP.
They were probably
talking about xenenterprise. It is a minimal linux distro with management tools
for xen. But you do need a dom0 either way you look at it there is a base
operating system. The difference would be installing the xen packages on top of
your favorite distro and turning that into your dom0 or just using xenenterprise.
That's right. Citrix Xen Server has a few editions (express, standard,
enterprise, etc.). Express is free (in cost). They all install directly on bare
hardware.
You can also install Xen (choose the virtualization option) during the
Fedora (not fedora 9 since no dom0 support), probably also centos, and I think
opensuse, installation processes and you only get a Xen kernel and don't have a
normal Linux kernel installed automatically. The normal userspace (of some
kind) is still there and a dom0 (Linux, Solaris, *BSD) of some kind is always
needed.
Cheers,
Todd
