Hello all you XEN experts! I've got a XEN3_DOMU virtual machine currently running NetBSD 8.1, and hosted on a commercial provider (www.prgmr.com). Since I'm running 8.1 I think that implies that I'm running in HVM mode?
Anyway, the provider will soon be upgrading their host to a PVHVM-only environment. That means that I need to upgrade, to -current. So, a few questions. (I'm a really dummy when it comes to XEN, so please forgive me if the questions don't make sense! Where's my copy of O'Reilly's ``XEN For Dummies'' when I need it? :) ) 1. Since I'm switching to PVHVM, will there be any differences in the "visible" devices? Will I need to update my kernel config? Or will a -current XEN3_DOMU kernel work "out of the box"? 2. Will I be able to update only my kernel, and continue running my 8.1 userland? 3. Will I need to make any configuration changes to things in /etc ? I'm really reluctant to update my userland at this time unless it is absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | p...@whooppee.com | | Software Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoye...@netbsd.org | +--------------------+--------------------------+-----------------------+
