Many thanks.

Currently we are using xen 4.0. Dom0 is RHEL 5.4(kernel 2.6.31-13), most of DomUs are using Windows 2003, and some of them are also RHEL 5.4.

NONE of the DomU is patched.

No problem, however could you tell me which type of system you are
using (Linux, Windows, ...), its version and exact kernel version
if it is the case ???
