Citrix XenServer 7.5 Xen Version[edit]

Hi, I've updated this article to include newer versions of XenServer. Sadly I could not find any source on the Xen version used by XenServer 7.5. Could someone running this version please add the patch version (I've added 4.7.x as earlier and later versions use that but added a reference that clarifies that decision). Looking at https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/399615-is-xenserver-76-using-xen-47-or/ you should be able to get the current Xen version using `xl info`.

In case I should not have added that version at all please remove it. FossoresLP (talk) 07:00, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proxmox[edit]

It's unclear to me if Proxmox VE would be considered a Xen management interface or not. It supplies a management interface, but is also the dom 0 and provides other features for storage management. Still, I feel like it might deserve a mention on this page somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.156.255.250 (talk) 06:02, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Host OS list[edit]

The host list lacks two of the most important Xen hosts: RHEL and Fedora. -- preceding signed by 96.83.95.49 (talk) 22:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is "type 1" vm ?[edit]

The article begins "Xen (pronounced /ˈzɛn/) is a type-1 virtual machine,..." but type 1 is not defined here or in the virtual machine page. What is a type 1 vm ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:9F7F:BAC3:D250:99FF:FEC2:1781 (talk) 22:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was a mistake. Xen is a type-1 hypervisor, not a VM. Type-1 vs type-2 is explained in the hypervisor article. I have corrected the Xen article. Sypwn (talk) 21:23, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
