Yes , it will improve performance significantly like any other Guest moved out of VMWare Server to Xen PV DomU. However, you would have build Xen from source and build PVOPS 2.31.5 kernel from source on Ubuntu 9.04 Server, unless some packaging for 3.4.1 Hypervisor has been already done on Jaunty. Kernel to support Dom0 is still your problem. --- On Wed, 11/11/09, Mark Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: From: Mark Johnson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [xen-discuss] Xen a good alternative for VMware ?

What problem are you trying to solve? If you are running it in a desktop environment, you should use vbox. If this is a headless server and you want good MP performance and close to metal performance on >= 1G NICs, you should use PV guests on Xen.
