Re: [Xen-users] About XEN

Currently I'm running Xen 3.0.2 x86_64 (AMD64) version on a machine that is as follows:
   * Dual Opteron 265
   * 12GB of RAM
   * 2 x 300GB Maxtor SATA drives hooked up to 3ware 9550 in RAID0
   * Tyan S2882 Mobo

I have about 20 domUs running perfectly, all either CentOS or Debian flavor. I haven't tried the IA-64 platform, but as for x86_64, no probs at all.

Except one... In 32-bit land, I was able to run dom0 fine with just 64MB of RAM. But in the 64-bit land, dom0 crashes with 64MB, gets a little farther with 128MB, but really really requires 256MB to run decently. Every time I check, mem usage on dom0 is ~250MB or so. On my 32-bit Dell, mem usage is about 20MB.

I have yet to figure out why the hell the AMD64 machines requires so much RAM and what it's doing with it.

Hi all, I have a simple question: Xen 3 support x86-64 and IA-64 plattforms?
Many thanks.
