[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [Xen-users] Can Xen run 32, 32PAE and 64-bit fully virtualized domains run side-by-side?
Actually, for 3.0.4 the below table is correct [which my mailer decided
to completely clobber when it quited it, as per expected]
This is correct (if XenSource does what they have promised) for 3.0.5
(not yet released):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
| | dom0
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
| | Para-virtualized |
Fully-virtualized |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
| | 32-bit | 32-bit-p | 64-bit | 32-bit |
32-bit-p | 64-bit |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
| d | |
|
| o
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
| m | 32-bit | Y | N | N | Y | Y
| Y |
| a
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------|
| i | |
|
| n
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------|
| | 32bit-P | N | Y | !Y! | N | Y
| Y |
^^^^^
| U
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------|
| | |
|
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------|
| | 64-bit | N | N | Y | N |
N | Y |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
So, with 3.0.5 it should work to run 32P on 64.
