It's simpler to go the vmware server way, since all you have to do is to install the vmware-server rpm and register the existing VMs with it. By coincidence I've done exactly that 2 days ago. OTOH, xen is supported by the centos [and the wider linux] community , vmware is supported by others. Choose your poison :) > If using Xen, do I have to convert the images? > Yes, you do. Most probably you'll need to play at least with vmware-vdiskmanager _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
