Most likely, yes.  They should have a copy of the license agreement, and you can take a look at that and see what they have to say about using them apart from the VirtualIron product.  The only open source PV drivers are the ones that James has released - search the list for "GPL PV drivers" and that should turn up some threads related to those.  The drivers are still very much in the alpha stages.

But these drivers are also commercial, aren't they?

VirtualIron has network and other drivers. Check http://www.virtualiron.com/products/Free_Download.cfm.

Thank you.

You can search for the Open Source HVM drivers, but I don't think anything stable has come out, yet.  The only other PV drivers that I know about for Windows are commercially available (read: NOT free) - these are Novell's PV drivers for Windows and NetWare, and XenSource's PV drivers.  Again,  both of those are commercial products - in Novell's case you must purchase SLES10 to get the PV driver pack.  Not sure about the XenSource ones...

hallo everybody,

i googled a lot of time, looking for PV-drivers for Windows- domUs.

I found a few things about that, but nothing about download an installation.

Do anybody know, where I can get it and how to install?

 

My configuration:

Dom0: CentOS 5.1

DomUs: Windows XP and 2003 Server

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Guenter
