[one-users] Running FE as Xen dom0/domU?

[Richard Palmer]

Dear list,

	I'm planning on a open nebula setup on some hardware we have
	(not necessarily the hardware we *need*, but I'm hoping nebula will
	let us make the best use of it). But I have some questions:

	The servers are all fairly powerful so I don't want to waste one just
	running the FE on it. Can I run the FE code in dom0 (in Xen) and
	also add the same server as a host to Nebula?. Or would it be better
	to create a domU just to run the FE code in, but still add the host
	to Nebula ?.

	Can (or should) long running servers be managed through Nebula ? E.g.
	a blog server. I'd like to have a single view of all the servers
	so creating them all via Nebula would be useful, but perhaps it's
	not really meant for this.

	Can any requirements beyond memory and disc be specified for an
	instance ?. E.g. must have access to tape library attached to only
	one of the hosts.

Many thanks,

Richard
