We're going to wait for 2.6 to settle down a bit first, though. > - SMP support (it looks like my dual processor system never uses > the second processor at all, even with multiple Xen domains) SMP guests is on the todo list, but Xen is already itself SMP capable. All of our test machines are dual Xeon boxes (effectively four CPUs), so we regularly exercise it in SMP mode. Check the boot messages to see how many CPUs Xen finds. Also, if you've started multiple domains, do a 'domain list' and see which CPUs they're assigned to. Alternatively, hit 'd' on the serial line (or scroll lock -h on the keyboard) to get a dump of the run queue on each CPU. > My only general comment for Xen developers is to update this page: > http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/ Yep, sorry about that. Our documentation and web site are generally poor. I promise to update things a bit when 1.2 is released, but volunteers to write a FAQ or do other documentation would be very helpful. > Thanks for a great program!
