Well,

I have installed CentOS with XEN support, but the vmware doesn't work at all. When i push the start button in the vmware, after some minutes, it gives me na error, telling that vmware process died. The host is a dual quad-core 2.6GHZ with 8GB ram, and i would like to get into XEN, but i need to have vmware as well.

Best regards, Bruno

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to run in at the same time Xen and Vmware, under the same physical host?

I don't see why not. Install the xen kernel and then install VMware, shouldn't be that difficult. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There is not any way (that I know of) to run VMWare and a Xen host on the same machine. To run a Xen host, you need the Xen kernel, and VMWare does not run on that kenrel.

I can verify that it does not work.

You will probably need another machine.

This is way out there, but I've read in the VMTN forums that it is possible to run the xen dom0 in a VMware virtual machine. Never tried it myself, so I won't make any promises. Performance in xen domU would stink, but I can't imagine you would be doing this for any other reason than development and testing...

Guys,

you can't do this.

If you try and run vmware on a Xen kernel you will panic/crash the box as soon as you try to startup a vmware vm.

Both Xen and vmware run in ring 0.

Not without patching a lot of stuff. When someone asked this a while back.. there was a lot of conflicting code and when they got past that it just crashed. To put it another way, both are ball games that look alike: Cricket, American Baseball.. beyond throwing a ball, hitting, catching, and running they are not the same.

Hi,

The host doesn't crash , but the vmware doesn't start at all. I supose that this is a no way situation....
