In Xen Project 4.10 we have made significant changes to the user interface.
Guest types are now selected using the type
option in the configuration file, where users can select a pv
, pvh
or hvm
guest.
The builder
option is being deprecated in favour of the type option. The pvh
option has been removed in Xen 4.9 (it will still work, but will create a PV guest).
A set of PVH specific options have been added.
