port OS to XEN

Hello everyone,

I'm studying XEN these days, and totally a newbie for XEN world. Recently,
I'm assigned to move our OS to run on XEN, I means, paravitualization. I
know a bit about XEN technique, and I tried to look into Linux code, but it
seems too many threads to get understood it ... Now, I have no idea how
to proceed my project... Can anyone give some advice?

Any suggestion from you will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
Sean

Thanks a million, Min. If you can tell me where I can get extras/minios will
be greatly appreciated!


Another problem,
I notice there is project named HXEN, aiming to run XEN core hypervisor on
regular operating system and currently support windows and Mac X. Does that
mean I can install XEN on windows as an application and create my own
virtual machine on it? And does it use the paravirtualization technique?
(Actually, I need a environment to test.)


Best Regards,
Sean

Hi,
I wish to port my OS to run on Xen as a DomU. Could you please guide me or
give  some reference material as a starting point.
Thanks a lot,

Xen support unmodied guest OS. So you can just run your OS in HVM guest except your OS used un-documented features.

Thanks! However if i wish to use it as a modified guest ie..run it
para-virtualized, how should I do it. I have the Xen -Interface manual...but
I was wondering if there is an example I could follow?
Thanks,
Madhuri

"The Definitive Guide to Xen" is about the best source of information
for this. It is outdated in some topics, but AFAIK it is single
available book about how to write own PV kernels for Xen. 
And also very good book about Xen.

You might find MiniOS (from extras/mini-os in the Xen source) a
tractable example of a PV OS. Any of the other existing PV OSes might
also be a useful reference.
