I'm in the situation Tupshin Harper describes in http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10771264. We have a production environment where Xen is an excellent fit, but we want to run Windows Server 2003 under a VM on our Debian host. I saw Ian Pratt's response (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10771267) and a slide (http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~walpole/class/cs533/slides/152.ppt#269,11,Xen and the CPU) indicating the rings of x86 privilege. Is there a definitive answer on having VMWare (and Windows) co-exist with Xen domains? Could this answer be posted in the FAQ for Xen along with reference material? I also noticed http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2004/HPL-2004-207R1.pdf which would have me use a normal host, then set up a Windows VM peer in VMWare with a Xen machine in VMWare. If we have to handle VMWare + Xen this way, it kinda sucks the value right out of Xen. The best solution we could hope is to wipe our nice Debian install for Windows 2003 as the base, then have Xen within a single VMWare. A difficult proposition with 1.2 TB online under Reiserfs already. Comments? Ideas? Suggestions?
