RE: [Xen-devel] Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy's PVOPS Kernel

["Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)" <enming.teo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I have managed to virtualize Windows 7 32-bit as a HVM guest on Xen 3.4.1
RC8 Dom 0 Kernel 2.6.30 RC6 on OpenSUSE 11.1 Linux 32-bit host operating
system.

Please see screenshots here:

I have uploaded 24 pictures so far at the time of this writing.

Well for simple streaming IO tests you can use dd, it supports multiple
block sizes, O_DIRECT etc.

If you need multithreaded/multiprocess tests, or filesystem IO tests, then
you need something more sophisticated.. bonnie++, ltp disktest, fio, iozone
etc. Google is your friend.
