DomU

From Xen
Revision as of 18:48, 13 November 2011 by 94.5.117.176 (talk)


A DomU is the counterpart to Dom0; it is an unprivileged domain with (by default) no access to the hardware. It must run a FrontendDriver for multiplexed hardware it wishes to share with other domains. A DomU is started by xend in Dom0, which the user accesses with the xm command-line tool. The kernel for a DomU comes from Dom0's filesystem, not from the filesystem exported to the DomU.
