Thank you Andy. Thus, Xen Hypervisor runs directly on the hardware without any OS? If yes, after it, the Dom0 (an Operating System) run as a VM by Xen Hypervisor?

The Xen hypervisor kernel image is usually stored inside what is the dom0's /boot directory but it is booted directly by the hardware/firmware before dom0 exists, because dom0 is just another VM that the hypervisor then runs. The image also might not be stored inside the dom0 filesystem as it might be booted over the network or whatever. Also a full Xen install is not functional without its management tools, of which the dom0 operating system and several software packages on it are a part. So whether you consider Xen to be installed "on" the dom0 is really a question of perspective. You aren't asking specific enough questions to get a simple short answer. Cheers, Andy
