Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Running mixed FC5/FC6 domains: msg#00138

Subject: Running mixed FC5/FC6 domains
Now that FC6T1 is upon us, I'm wondering if it is supported to run an FC6Tx domU as a guest of an FC5 dom0 host? Or an FC5 domU as a guest of an FC6 dom0 host? If possible would this require synchronised xen versions for guest and host domains?

I see using xen as a good way to make upgrades less painful by live migration of guests between hosts while the hosts are upgraded, and by splitting functions of a server into multiple guests which can be tested/upgraded individually.

Allowing mixed domains could ease the "upgrade treadmill" of Fedora, and reduce the possibility of breaking everything at once during upgrades.

Presumably RHEL5 customers will eventually ask the same questions about supporting mixed RHEL6 upgrades with xen? Getting this right would give xen/linux the "no downtime" functionality I recall from performing rolling upgrades across nodes in VMS clusters years ago.

Thoughts?
