X-BeenThere: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussion of the freebsd port to xen - implementation and usage List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:39:38 -0000 Hi We've recently been benchmarking FreeBSD on both VMWare ESX and Citrix XenServer, since we're trying to decide on an enterprise virtualisation product. Does anyone know whether the Xen paravirtualisation features being added by this project work with/are compatible with the Citrix's XenServer 5? So far as I can tell, XenServer 5 is based on Xen 3.0 so I'm guessing not :(, but it would be interesting to know if anyone's actually tried this or had any experience with it. If I'm right about the Xen version, are there any plans to support earlier Xen versions? - Guy -- Systems Manager, IT Division, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa Email: G.Halse@ru.ac.za Web: http://mombe.org/ IRC: rm-rf@irc.zanet.net *** ANSI Standard Disclaimer *** J.A.P.H
