For example, domU ID is always increasing, so (in the past anyway) you can only have a certain number of domUs before having to reboot dom0 (IIRC in the past this limit was 65k or something, it might have been changed in current versions). Also, I did some simple test with a busybox-based initrd, using a small amount of memory. On that test, after 300 domUs or so xenstored consumed very high CPU load which makes it unusable. Again, this is some time ago, so current version might behave differently. In practice, it should be long before you hit those kinds of limit, so you could usually ignore them. What you'll find is you're going to stumble against some practilcal limits, like the one Zary mentioned about memory. Also, if your domUs are busy (e.g. typical scenario if you're a VPS hosting provider), your bottleneck will most likely be disk IOPS. -- Fajar > Regards!!!! > > 2011/7/9 Zary Matej <matej.zary@xxxxxxxxx> >> >> >________________________________________ >> >From: xen-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> > [xen-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Luis Roberto Romano >> > [luisromano@xxxxxxxxx] >> >Sent: 08 July 2011 17:48 >> >To: xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> >Subject: [Xen-users] guests max limit >> > >> >Hi. >> > >> >I need to know how many DomUs can I get running on a Dom0.
