Hi,

First post so please be gentle! ;)

I am looking to switch to Xen from using VMware but would like a little help with my understanding.  My current setup is a CentOS5.1 server with a VMWare server instance installed on top of it.

Am I able to install Xen and make my current CentOS installation the default domain without losing anything ?

You can install the Xen packages without losing anything yes.
 

If this is possible then I would setup two additional domains 1) for the applications that were running in the default ie. www, smtp and the 2) moving the VMware server which runs Zimbra to a Xen domain.  This would leave the default domain as the management domain.

for 2) I assume you mean the Zimbra application and not VMware server. The default domain is generally referred to as Domain 0 or more commonly dom0, and yes, it is used for management.

Welcome to Xen ;)

Best regards,
Todd
 

Is my thinking correct ?  TIA.

Regards,
