Proxmox

It's unclear to me if Proxmox VE would be considered a Xen management interface or not. It supplies a management interface, but is also the dom 0 and provides other features for storage management. Still, I feel like it might deserve a mention on this page somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.156.255.250 (talk) 06:02, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Host OS list

The host list lacks two of the most important Xen hosts: RHEL and Fedora. -- preceding signed by 96.83.95.49 (talk) 22:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is "type 1" vm ?

The article begins "Xen (pronounced /ˈzɛn/) is a type-1 virtual machine,..." but type 1 is not defined here or in the virtual machine page. What is a type 1 vm ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:9F7F:BAC3:D250:99FF:FEC2:1781 (talk) 22:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was a mistake. Xen is a type-1 hypervisor, not a VM. Type-1 vs type-2 is explained in the hypervisor article. I have corrected the Xen article. Sypwn (talk) 21:23, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should dom0 and domU have their own pages?

Currently, these both redirect to this page (Xen). The descriptions given in the text of this article suggest that they are independent concepts from Xen, so it seems to me that they should not redirect here, but instead should have their own articles. I am not an expert on the topic, however. Jtbwikiman (talk) 17:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
