[one-users] ubuntu front end and openSUSE node

[Shi Jin]

Hi,

I have another question with regarding to this mixture of KVM and Xen nodes.
My understanding is that Xen takes partition image while KVM takes disk image.  If my KVM intended template is sent to the Xen node, it is not going to work. 
Therefore, I really want to be able to differentiate the two hypervisors while not limiting to a specific node. The way of specifying the hostname works but is not flexible enough. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.
