The problem here is the different "implementations" that exist: - Xen (install and configure yourself, toolset: 'xl' , 'xm' is deprecated) - Citrix and XCP (pre-configured, install on dedicated server, toolset: 'xcp') - OVM (Oracle's implementation, not sure which toolset they use) > Could you add missing pieces about why power management --- as in > frequency scaling --- doesn't work What doesn't work with this? The following seems quite detailed: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_power_management And the commands listed there (for the hypervisor based option) work on my server. > and what to do about keeping the time > in sync between all VMs when you find out that this doesn't work as the > documentation would have you think it does? In what way doesn't it work? The clocks are all synchronized and I don't need to use anything like 'ntpd' -- Joost
