Quoting Chris Richardson <crichardson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:

I'm running RHEL5, and running into more and more limitations with the full
virtualization. The more I look at it, the more sense it makes for me to run
my RHEL5 guests paravirtualized.

Is there any way to convert a full virt guest to a paravirt, or do I start
over?

Is that really all that needs to be done? Other than a couple of config file changes?

Thanks,

Jon
