Re: [Xen-users] Difference between HVM and VTI



Hi,

there are two examples in /etc/xen, xmexample.hvm and xmexample.vti. Am i right
that there is no difference between these twos, i mean, can i use the same
config file for a HVM Domain that i use for a VTI Domain and vice versa?

Greetings,
-timo
