Query regarding Citrix

Query regarding Citrix

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 709 bytes --]

Hi People,

I would be very thankful if anyone can elaborate wether the Citrix uses the
Xen Source code as their hypervisor as it is. Or they tune and tweak the xen
source according to their needs and use it as a hypervisor.

Secondly, Is it obligatory to install Linux with Xenserver? If we do not
install linux with Xenserver host then Can we be able to install Linux
guests on VMs created in Xenserver?

Thirdly, Is it possible to customize the linux kernel if we install linux
pack for Xenserver host ?

Thanks.

since Xen itself doesn't have any network or block device driver, you
need a full OS as Dom0 to run the support daemons.

I think you're looking for Citrix's support forums for XenServer:
