DATE	TIME	WHERE
Thursday Sep 17, 2009	All day	#fedora-test-day (webchat)

What to test?

This part of today's Fedora Test Day will focus on testing the area concerned with Xen DomU functionality, which is based on the pv_ops work in upstream Linux.

If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test Fedora as a Xen DomU and provide feedback.

Who's available

Andrew (Drew) Jones is your host for today.

The following people have also agreed to be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion:

• add your name here

What's needed to test

• A distribution with Xen Dom0 support. This can either be Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, CentOS 5, Suse, Fedora, etc. We also highly recommend that your distribution is fully updated to the latest released packages. See instructions on the main test day page.
• At least one guest image installed before the test day (suggested reading - Virtualization_Quick_Start).
