What is the status of XEN and Fedora 10 at this point? The website http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 shows a last update date of 7/30/08.
Thanks.

It is still domU only. It might be in Fedora 11 depending on when the upstream kernel gets PvopsDom0 support (maybe in 2.6.28).

So does that mean it can run as the domain controller but not as a VM on another domain controller? Am I reading what that means correctly?
Thanks.

Nope, reverse it. Dom0 is the "controller", DomU is the "guest". F8 is the last Fedora to have Dom0 support.

Crud. After I replied I re-read what I wrote and thought that I must have reversed it. Guess it's time to rebuild my box to F8 (which is where I started yesterday)! Why even have F10 xen rpm's if it's not available as a dom0 architecture?

"It is still domU only", so those are for DomU.
Except you don't need the xen packages inside a domU host, just a xen enabled kernel (which for F10 is the ordinary kernel). I would have said they are there for when Dom0 starts working again, and that might occur within F10 if the Dom0 hooks are in 2.6.28 and F10 is updated to that kernel, which is certainly possible during the lifetime of F10.

That makes sense. I didn't think they were required for a domU.
Thanks.
