Supporting Documents for XL & XM
| Document | Description | 
|---|---|
| xl.cfg(5), disk configuration | This document specifies the xl config file format disk configuration option. | 
| xl.cfg(5), network configuration | This document specifies the xl config file format vif configuration option. | 
| xl.cfg(5), tsc_mode configuration | In Xen 4 a new config option called tsc_mode may be specified for each domain. This document is targeted for Xen users and administrators that may need to select a non-default tsc_mode. | 
| xm.cfg(5), sEDF scheduler | The sEDF scheduler provides weighted CPU sharing in an intuitive way and uses realtime-algorithms to ensure time guarantees. | 
Other documents
| Document | Description | 
|---|---|
| Environment Variables for different Linux distros | With directory layout differences between Red Hat, Debian, Suse and other distros one needs to set the variables for CONFIG_LEAF_DIR, SUBSYS_DIR and INITD_DIR. | 
Advanced topics
| Document(s) | Description | Also See | 
|---|---|---|
| How to do PCI Passthrough with VT-d | Xen PCI Passthrough Overview, VT-d HowTo | |
| Virtual TPM support | This document gives a short introduction to the virtual TPM support in XEN and goes as far as connecting a user domain to a virtual TPM instance and doing a short test to verify success. It is assumed that the user is fairly familiar with compiling and installing XEN and Linux on a machine. | Virtual Trusted Platform Module (research note) |
