The problem here is the different "implementations" that exist: |
| 14 |
- Xen (install and configure yourself, toolset: 'xl' , 'xm' is deprecated) |
| 15 |
- Citrix and XCP (pre-configured, install on dedicated server, toolset: 'xcp') |
| 16 |
- OVM (Oracle's implementation, not sure which toolset they use) |

What doesn't work with this? |
| 22 |
The following seems quite detailed: |
| 23 |
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_power_management |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And the commands listed there (for the hypervisor based option) work on my |
| 26 |
server. |

In what way doesn't it work? |
| 33 |
The clocks are all synchronized and I don't need to use anything like 'ntpd' |
