Re: [Xen-users] Xen in Xen

[Alexandre Chapellon <a.chapellon@xxxxxxxxx>]

If i remember well, nested virutalisation is possible but only for 
paravirtualised guests inside HVM guests.
The FAQ seems to agree:
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenFaq2#head-51dcb6d653d7a1f52f9daca6f4dabc48f2e4d9f8

So for now you can't run windows guest in HVM guest (for exmaple).

Nested HVM guests once was in the features request list of Xen 4.1 
(presented as a convenient feature to learn VM management, nothing 
else.). AFAICT it has not been released.
IMHO, running a cloud this way would not be either efficient nor reliable.
