Hello Everyone,

Sorry if this has been address before, but I have a question about the RAM usage in Xen. What I am confused with is this:

When you specify the kernel option (dom0_mem=) for Domain0, is the RAM allocated to slave os's taken from the domain0 RAM amount, or are all the domains (including domain0) have their own memory partitions? The reason I am confused is because I have used VMWare for a long time and it grabs memory from the main OS to use on slave OSs.
   Thanks in advance.

Mike Lee
