Hi,
Do you really think that RHEL6 will not include dom0 version ?
Yes, Xen Dom0 will be never supported from RHEL6, onlu domU ...
It seems that KVM will be the favorite for redhat virtualisation but i think Xen is actually largely deployed. We have here a "cluster" of ten Xen centos 5.4 dom0 and i'm asking what it will become with RHEL6 if there is no more dom0 version.
Well, you have several options:
- Migrate to KVM - Migrate to Oracle VM - Migrate to Windows Hyper-V - Migrate to VMware
.. or your dom0 cluster will be unsupported ....
We think about migration from Xen to KVM but the process could be complex and i don't know if kvm will equal Xen performance for production use. Anyone as the same problem/question here.
I have do it some tests using KVM under rhel5.4 and perfromance it is very very high ... but only for rhel5.x guests. For Windows versions or solaris/opensolaris systems performance is ver very poor until they released virtio drivers for these platforms ...
