Hi

as I currently understand it, being able to run both 32 bit and 64 bit
domUs on the same hypervisor requires it to be a 64-bit hypervisor and
the domUs being HVM, not paravirtualized. This in turn requires
hardware with virtualization support.

Is this true?

Now given these requirements, are there any restrictions on running
32 bit HVM domUs and 64 bit HVM domUs side-by-side on the same
x86_64 hypervisor? What about 32-bit PAE HVM guests?

Can I mix a 64-bit paravirtualized guest with 32/64 bit HVM guests on
a x86_64 hypervisor?


Thanks, Rene
