OS's? From the redhat docs, it looks like the guest OS's reside at /var/lib/libvirt/images/.

I like LVM (for the reasons you cite). Would you (anyone?) say it's best to have one LV per guest or one LV for all guests?
tnx.
I'm new to this but I would think you would want a separate LV for each guest. Seems I read somewhere, that you need one core per guest as well. That's why I'm opting for the Xeon processor rather than the iCore(x). Four cores v. two. More options.
Can't believe this thread hasn't stirred more response. Maybe we all are in the learning phase.
