Xen Server

Nowadays, virtual machine been used moderate for testing and development. Last few years, I had tested xen server function at my working place. Found out, it is an interesting software or technology especially when doing virtual machine.

Now I try to rebuild the xen server with 2 virtual machine (Windows 2003 and RedHat). Found out there will be no problem to create RedHat as VM in xenserver. But there is problem with windows 2003. There is a limitation you need. For Windows Server, your server must support VT(Virtual Technology). If your processor not support, then no luck but need use third party software. The VT can be enabled in Bios.

From my experience, for a better usage on both VM. It wiser to enable vnc or remote desktop services due to the console is quite slow and small. Beside, the download by both VM seem slower. Maybe due to 1 NIC is shared by 3 hosts.

Besides that, everything seem running well. Now only need someone do some test running on the xen server.
