Couple of questions 1st.
I hadn't come across any of these yet:
uuid="b0c975de-ee50-5837-9f21-3da7fdb01565" extid=0 vif=[ ... model=rtl8139' ... ]
I'll read up, but are these general Xen requirements, or something specific to the Windows install?
The uuid is an optional config file setting. If it is not specified, xen will automatically generate a new uuid each time the VM starts. The extid option is there to enable the Hyper-V adapter that was created by Novell. It allows Windows Server 2008 to use its virtualization optimizations by translating the Hyper-V hypercalls (imbedded in Win2k8) into XEN hypercalls. In this case, I have the adapter disabled. The model=rtl8139 tells the device model to emulate a Realtek 8139 network card. If a model is not specified, the device model will default to that card anyway, so it is not needed in this case. However, there are other devices that are valid depending on the version of xen that is being run (e100, e1000, etc.)
And for this,
pae=1
Do I need to zypper-install any of the *pae* packages in my Dom0?
No need to install anything else. This is telling the device model to emulate pae within the guest. Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org
