Hi Dan,

From Fedora site http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Virtualization?highlight=%28xenguest-install%29

I find several information, I am sure if they are correct:

1, "Integrated graphical framebuffer. Both the GUI installer and the guest operating system's graphical environment can be accessed from virt-manager without the need for VNC." As I remembered, you told me when we double-click any DomU, we will start a graphic console, this console just use virt-manmager embedded vnc-viewer to access DomU, so need vnc connection. Also I know when install a guest domain, there also will appear a vnc-viewer for install OS.
But from the above explanation, seems we never use vnc any more?

What this means is that virt-manager implements the VNC protocol directly
itself, so there is no need for a separate vncviewer program. The VNC
code is all in the src/vncViewer directory.
Ah, I see...

2,"CPU and memory management. The vCPUs and memory of active guest operating systems can be adjusted on the fly." From your website http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/screenshots.html, I can see "Most of this dialog is currently non-functional. Compare with a scan of the design mockup" under "Virtual machine configuration", when I tried, seems it's true most of them can't work, so who is wrong?

Actually the VCPU & memory adjustment is functional now - within certain
constraints. Paravirt guests can have memory & VCPUs adjusted. Fullyvirt
guests cannot have any adjustments. For guests which are not currently
running (ie inactive), memory, max-memory & VCPUs can be adjusted. Hotplug of disks & nics is not yet implemented for anything.
I hacked a virt-manager, and it can run at Solaris now, I do a test, yes, you are right.

Seems here I have to add another question. :)
3, From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6, I can see "Installation must be a network type. It is not possible to install from a local disk or CDROM. " is it true? As I remember virt-manager will get CDROM list for HVM install, can this feature run now? I have no this type of machine to test HVM.

BTW, when we create a new DomU, and not use virt-manager, what command line we can use? by now I only know virt-install, can xm or virsh create a DomU from zero?

Regards,
Dan.
