From Virtuatopia Purchase and download the full PDF and ePub versions of this eBook for only $8.99 Xen hardware virtual machine (HVM) virtualization provides support for the virtualization of unmodified guest operating systems without the loss of performance inherent in the use of full virtualization (the different types of virtualization are described in the An Overview of Virtualization Techniques chapter of this book). In the case of host systems containing CPUs with virtualization support, the HVM approach provides superior levels of performance when compared to full virtualization.

[edit] Checking Hardware Support for Xen Hardware Virtual Machines (HVM) In order to support hardware virtualization, the CPU must include Intel-VT or AMD-V support. This can be verified using the following commands: For Intel CPUs: grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo For AMD CPUSs: grep svm /proc/cpuinfo [edit] Preparing to Install a Xen HVM domainU Guest dd if=/dev/zero of=xenguest.img bs=1024k seek=6144 count=0 vncconsole=1.
