====== Setup_of_Windows_domU_on_Debian_lenny_dom0 ======

===== Dom0 Setting =====
 vi /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
 (vnc-listen '0.0.0.0')
 #the above allows any computer connect to view with VNC.
 #change to 127.0.0.1 to restrict viewing with VNC to dom0

VM disk based image setup:
 mkdir -p /xens/vm02
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/xens/vm02/disk-vm02.img bs=1024k count=20000

===== VM Config =====
 vi /etc/xen/vm02
 kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-default/boot/hvmloader'
 builder = 'hvm'
 memory = '512'
 device_model='/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/qemu-dm'
 
 # Disks
 disk = [[|'file:/xens/vm02/disk-vm02.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/xens/vm02/windows7.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]] 
 
 # Hostname
 name = 'vm02' 
 
 # Networking
 vif = [['type=ioemu,|ip=11.11.11.3, bridge=eth0']]
 
 # Behaviour
 boot='dc'
 vnc=1
 vncviewer=1
 serial='pty'
 shadow_memory = 8
 vcpus=1
 pae=0
 acpi=1
 apic=1
 ne2000=0
 usb=1
 usbdevice='tablet'

===== Start VM =====
 xm create /etc/xen/vm02
 #you should see:
 Using config file "/etc/xen/vm02".
 VNC= 1
 Started domain vm02
 #check:
 Debian-50-lenny-32-minimal:~# netstat -a | grep 5900
 tcp        0      0 *:5900                  *:*                     LISTEN
Then open up your VNC viewer and connect. No password is required.

===== Summary =====
The above shows very basic settings to get Windows running on Xen with a CPU with virtualisation support.
There are many, many configs and other setups out there for Windows on Xen.
I used Windows7 as the domU guest. Three-four years ago on Xen3.0 I tried to get XP to run as domU. I did manage it, however I had to use kvm to get XP installed on a disk image, and then xen would run it as a domU. I had no such issues with Xen3.2 and Windows 7.
