Just out of interest, did running Xen make the diagnosis of these issues
any harder? Particularly the hardware side of things?

I've just set up Xen 3.1.0 on a HP DL385, running Debian Etch in Dom0, a
spam filter (Debian Etch), a secondary nameserver (Debian Etch), a
second windows domain controller (Windows 2K3R2E), a small business
server (Windows SBS2K3R2S), and a web server (Windows 2K3R2E). Currently
Dom0 isn't running any of HP's (closed source binary afaik) monitoring
stuff, and I'm not sure if there is going to be any value in trying to
make it go...

I guess my concern is that if a disk, fan, psu, or anything else fails
or something, I don't yet have the tools to know about it (server will
be in a colo facility). Are binary-only modules supported in Dom0? I
suspect that there might be some problems...

Thanks

James
