XEN on RHEL 6
Hi guys.

I read that RHEL will not support XEN in version 6 and it will support KVM. Does this mean we can't install XEN from RHEL repositories? Should we install it from source code?

If it is not professionnal, you can try to play with Qube which is supposed to be an ultra securized hypervisor XEN based with many code optimisations (network driver i think, since Xen is known to be slow regarding this area) supporting new intel VT instruction set for virtualization.

I would think carefully about using Xen under RHEL 6. Using Xen means recompiling your kernel and thus you lose Red Hat Support..

No need to roll your own. There are a numbers of parties preparing RPMs of the XEN hypervisor, tools and dom0 kernel for RHEL6. Keep an eye on the xen-users mailing list.

Is it good to migrate to KVM? I can't find much material such as books or tutorials for KVM to learn. Could anyone help me.

If you want a migration path from XEN on GNU/Linux platforms, then your choice is KVM. So, yes, it would probably be worth your time learning about KVM.

Unfortunately, at present the documentation on KVM is poor to downright incorrect - especially in the areas where KVM and QEMU overlap.

Also, Red Hat's DESIGN for "kvm" (lowercased and quoted intentionally) is RHEV. So if you're a Red Hat corporate user, you want Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. If you want an unsupported hypervisor experience using RHEL, then you can use the kvm (without quotes) that comes with it.
