  1. Benefits: • Increased server utilization • Reduced IT TCO • Improved IT agility

  2. Advantages: • High performances • Affordable, low cost solution • Robust and easy to use • Easy to deploy • Simple management and implementation of virtual machine • Multi-os support enables windows and Linux virtual machines • Board industry support amongst leading manufacturer including IBM, INTEL, HP • Wider local storage support • Deep hardware virtualization integration

  3. Xen-Domain0 Xen-DomainU Guest OS Host OS PinTool CodeCache 2 Engine PinOS I/O Xen Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) 1 H a r d w a r e To run PinOS between guest and hardware: Use Xen Virtualize and present a fake processor to the guest OS 1 2 XEN architecture

  5. Paravirtualization • Table 2.4 Paravirtualization Requirements and Considerations • Item Type item Requirements or special Consideration • Memory Management Segmentation Cannot insert privileged segment descrip- • tors and cannot overlap with the top end • of the linear address space. • Paging Guest operating system has direct read • access to hardware-level page tables, • updates are batched or performed indi- • vidually and validated by the hypervisor. • CPU Protection The guest operating system must run at a • more restricted privilege level than Xen— • in other words, it cannot run in Ring-0. • Exceptions The guest operating system must register • a table for exception trap handlers.

  6. Continued… • System calls The guest operating system may install a • handler for system calls, allowing direct • calls from an application or the operating • system itself. Some of these calls do not • need to be handled directly by Xen. • Interrupts Hardware interrupts are replaced with a • notification event mechanism. • Time The guest operating system must be • aware • Device I/O Network Virtual devices are simple to access. Data • and Disk is transferred using asynchronous I/O • rings, and interrupt-like communication • to the guest operating system is handled • through event notifications.

  8. virtualization • CPU • Cpu virtualization • Cpu scheduling • Time • Memory management • Memory allocation • Paging and segmentation • Virtual address translation • I/o virtualization • Device i/o ring • Event channels • Virtual i/o devices and split device driver • Software and hardware iommu

  9. Creating virtual machine • Using a template file • Installing from a CD or an ISO image onto a XEN virtual machine (windows 2003 and windows xp only) • Installing from vendor media onto a network installation server directly onto a XEN vm • Performing a physical to virtual convertion on an existing server • Cloning an existing VM • Importing an existing exported XEN VM

  10. Installing XEN VM using template

  11. Installing windows on a XEN VM

  12. The new windows XEN VM ready to use

  13. Installing Linux from network installed server to XEN VM

  14. Cloning virtual machines

  15. Importing an exported XEN VM

  16. Using administrator console

  17. Graphical and text console
