Re: [Condor-users] Xen

[Craig Holland <crhollan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think I'm talking about the vm universe.  I'm envisioning sending a xen
domu into the grid as a job.  I've been able to create the vm universe, but
it seems like when a domu is created, it is tied to a specific dom0 (which I
guess makes sense).  And, once it is created, it isn't really clear to me
what the benefit of running it in the vm universe is.  BTW: I'm new to
condor ;)

Thanks,
craig
