Perhaps I'm just missing the obvious in the forums but I will risk a pair of stupid questions.

1) Is the ClearVM setup more similar to XenServer in that it installs a hypervisor only with extremely minimal Dom0 host base, or is it adding the KVM functionality and management tools to a standard ClearOS setup? Disk management and planning are required for either scenario, but the infographics don't really say anything technically useful.

2) Because management tools for Xen suck, I would like to migrate off of XenServer. I've been contemplating using a bare linux distro and loading up Xen on that or switching to KVM. Can ClearVM fairly easily migrate in a Xen vm and run it in KVM/ClearVM?

Answer 1) ClearVM adds the KVM functionality and management tools to standard OS's, ClearOS included.

Answer 2) Depends upon what you are running and what you mean as "fairly easily migrate". The simplest way to run a custom VM is to add the VM URL to your Store (bottom right).

    Perfect. That is the way I wanted to do it. Will have to rebuild a fresh and happy ClearOS and sort the storage appropriately.

    Hi,

    I have not much experience with ClearVM. I can say ClearVM is at the moment a separate product.

    See this REPLY of CEO Michael Proper.

    Have you seen the DOCUMENTATION? You have to scroll down a bit...
