<p>Thanks all for replying.</p>
<p>We want to stick on to the Xen Hypervisor for some reason.</p>
<p>1. Does the community plan to support this feature?<br>
2. Could I submit this request to the blueprint? My team would like to contribute on it if necessary.<br>
3. or some good reasons to migrate from Xen to KVM?</p>
<p>Regards<br>

<p>Seems like an attribute that could be added to instance types / flavors that could be passed on to the scheduler and virt layers.</p>

Actually, this is not currently possible. For reasons I don't<br>
know, the libvirt driver currently hardcodes use of paravirtualized<br>
guests when connected to Xen hosts. It does not allow use of HVM<br>
guests. There's no particularly good technical reason why it can't<br>
be made to work. There'd need to be a way to tag instance types<br>
with HVM vs paravirt, in addition to their architecture. The<br>
libvirt driver would have to expose whether each host supports<br>
paravirt or HVM or both. The schedular would then have to take<br>
this into account when placing guests.<br>
<br>
Until this is done, if you really need to run HVM guests, then<br>
you'll have to use KVM instead of Xen.<br>
<br>
