[one-users] VM deployment on Xen

[Yasz Yassin]

Hi Javier,

Thanks for your reply. To deploy a VM on Xen node, do I have to specify
the  vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 file?

Also, can I deploy a full-virtualization VM for Xen machine using
opennebula?
Or do I have to get the para-virtualized VM?

thanks
yasz
