We were discussing memory limits of the free (as in beer) closed source citrix xensource product- limits are added to the free product in order to encourage people to upgrade to the more expensive products. These limits don't exist in the open-source xen product, which is what the centos/Xen stuff is based on. http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/downloads/docs/user/#SECTION01130000000000000000 > Am I going to face any issues wanting to run some CentOS 5.x x86_64 > boxes with 16 or 32 GB memory as Xen hosts with up to 10 or 12 GB > memory CentOS 5.x x86_64 domUs ? I've personally run CentOS x86_64 5.1 boxes with north of 16G ram- there is nothing I am aware of that would stop you from putting as much ram as you want in a particular DomU. > Furthermore, am I going to encounter issues running CentOS 5.x i386 > boxes with 8 GB memory trying to run CentOS 4.x i386 domUs with 3.5 or > 4GB memory? You will be needing PAE, but that is default for CentOS i386/xen, so it should Just Work. make sure you install the libc6-xen package (should be installed as a dependency.) The usual PAE limits apply. I'm typing this message in emacs running on a DomU hosted on an i386/PAE box with 6G ram running CentOS5.1/xen. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
