Hi, I'd considered that, but I'm having trouble finding a system that supports VT-d/VT-x.
Any hiccups converting Xen to KVM? I imagine the Windows boxes will move easily enough, just using clonezilla or similar. The rest of my servers are Ubuntu based, and PVM's so I'll need to add a kernel, so I'm looking at http://www.blog.turmair.de/2010/12/xen-to-kvm-or-physical-vmware-migration/ Any performance issues?
