[Xen-users] Databases and Virtualisation Basic Question 
| 
We are looking to use virtualisation on a new project to help with 
deployment etc. One of the servers will be database server, specifically the RDBMS will 
be PostgreSQL. Therefore on that server will be the host Linux OS with a guest Linux 
OS running on Xen. The guest OS is the one with the database.   My question is   If the database is running on a guest OS with its own disk space etc 
and we then wish to deploy and run a newer image due to a software change or 
something what happens to the data in the database on the older image? Is 
this lost?  How can the new image pick up the existing data? Am I having a 
fundamental misunderstanding?     Thanks in advance for your responses.
