Hi Abhi,

Thank you very much, actually I have the following scenario for hypervisor.
HDD: 500 GB
RAM: 32GB 
CPU 8 Core @2.9GHz

and each guest vm is
HDD: 50GB
RAM: +/- 4 GB
CPU 1 Core +/-@ 2.0 GHz
Maximum 8 guest VM

in my server two eth each  gigabit 

I want to run some mysql and membase service which have huge disk I/O
So is the server configuration is OK or do i need SAS HDD or something else?

Thanks
Jewel

Hi Jewel,
   If you list down the requirements for the guest VM in terms of CPU, RAM and 
storage adding that to Xenserver overhead you can get the requirements for the 
hardware you need.
For Xenserver overhead, simple rule of thumb is to allow 512 MB for the 
XenServer total (Hypervisor plus the control domain) if there is less than 5 GB 
of memory in the server, and allow 1 GB of memory if there is more than 5 GB in 
the server. 
  Also you need to decide if you want HA, in that case you will need some 
redundant hardware.
