[Xen-users] New Install Plan Help - NIC Requirements

[<ray@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to understand what may be needed/useful for the system NIC.

 

My plan is to use an Asus mb, Sabertooth or Crosshair.  They both have a single on-board Ethernet port.  I am wondering about the possibility/need to have a 2-port plug-in NIC.  A scenario is to have a domU Windows or Linux SVN/Apache/PostgreSQL VM and interact with it through another domU Windows or Linus VM.  I also may want to remote in from the Internet or a Windows remote desktop through a domU Windows VM.

 

BTW, I am reading "Running Xen: A Hands-on Guide to the Art of Virtualization".  In chapter 2, p. 34, it addresses starting a new Debian-based guest creation and it shows the resultant listing.  The narrative states "The xmllib warning messages can be safely ignored in this case".  The listing shows:

/usr/lib/python2.4/xmllib.py:9:  DeprcationWarning:

    The xmllib module is obsolete.   Use xml.sax instead.

warnings.warn("The xmllib module is obsolete.

 

 It doesn't state what the case is and I am new enough not to understand from the context.  Why would I not need to be concerned about the warning?  Additionally, being new to Linux, I would like to understand how to chase down warnings, errors, etc. While I can move forward just through neglect, I old like to take a knowledgable step.

 

Thanks,

ray
