Please keep replies on the mailing list. These question helps other in the future by being seachable in the archives.

Xen and KVM are types of hypervisors, like virtualbox is, but they run on Linux hosts. To use them, you would need to install linux on the bare machine. This in turn requires a CPU that supports virtualization (which most CPUs made in the last few years do support).

If you can install CentOS 6, you can use KVM which is what I recommend.

One more thing...till now i have used this setup:

have Windows vista OS ---> Virtual Box---->Red Hat installed.

If i download Xen or KVM can i use the same setup instead of Virtual Box?

Windows vista OS ---->Xen or KVM ---->Red Hat installed

        First up, give this section a read. It will explain what fencing
        does and why you're seeing what you are;

        As for being virtualbox guests, you're in a bit of a spot as
        there doesn't seem to be a native agent. Google shows this though;

        If you can switch to KVM or Xen, then you can use the
        fence_virsh or fence_xvm agents.

        cheers

            Hello,

            I am not aware of fencing.Yes you are correct i have not
            configured
            anything related to fencing.

            Can you please let me know as how can i proceed...Do i have
            to purchase
            some sort of hardware?

            How can i implement Power Fencing?

            I am using virtual box machines on my desktop in which linux are
            installed and have been connected through swtich.

                 Hence they may not have IPMI/ILO etc.

                 I am 99.99% certain that fencing has not been configured.

                 I also doubt if it has external storage.

                 (I can identify as I tried my experiments with clusters
            first time
                 with such desktop class machines)

                 The only solution for this is Power Fencing.
