The Citrix drivers come with the various versions Citrix XenServer. Moreover, they only work for said Citrix XenServer, not open source Xen. There is a free version of the Citrix XenServer, but when I looked at it, it only supported 1 (one) cpu/core (total), and no more than 4 domUs.

Where can I get Citrix drivers for XEN? Randy McAnally wrote: We use the Citrix drivers on XenServer in production and the performance is very, very good. Equal CPU performance for single CPU, but much better than GPLPV for multi CPU. Network and disk performance is better than GPLPV in all cases. And most importantly, they never, ever crash. -- Randy www.FastServ.com ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Dustin Henning" <Dustin.Henning@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Xen Users Mailing List'" <xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:13:59 -0500 Subject: RE: [Xen-users] windows server on xen in production? Xen.org HVM DomUs would probably be equally production-ready barring Windows drivers, though, and on top of that I believe some users do use GPLPV drivers in production in spite of best practice concerns and downtime risk. I am not sure how great HVM domUs would be for DB service in general, though. Without drivers it would certainly be costly in terms of performance. With drivers, I believe the GPLPV drivers perform better that the Citrix ones to such an extent that some Citrix users have tried to use them (which may or may not be possible but that would have to be verified in this list's archives).

Xen and Windows is not production ready (PV drivers are still beta and in development). However the commerical varient Citrix XenServer is production ready. -- Randy www.FastServ.com ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Ma-ris Ruskulis <maris@xxxxxxxx> To: xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:30:27 +0200 Subject: [Xen-users] windows server on xen in production? Hello! I'm wondering about using windows 2003 for MSSQL replication. Is someone using win server on xen in production? What is experience of using this? Is it production ready? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users ------- End of Original Message ------- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users ------- End of Original Message ------- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
