> SystemVMs and VR to run as HVM on XenServer
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-10232
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10232
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: SystemVM, Virtual Router, XenServer
> Affects Versions: 4.10.0.0, 4.9.3.0
> Reporter: Pierre-Luc Dion
> Priority: Major
>
> Following the recent Meltdown-Spectre security risk,one of the mitigation,as
> of Jan 2018, for XenServer Hypervisor is to run Virtual-Machine in HVM mode.
> Currently SystemVMs and Virtual-Routers run as PV on XenServer and the eth0
> is configured using {{/etc/init.d/cloud-early-config}} using grub params from
> {{/proc/cmdline}}. When VM run as HVM, it is not possible to push initial
> boot instruction via pygrub.
> Quick tests has been done using xenstore and it look like it would be
> possible to send same initial boot instruction has pygrub but using xenstore
> for HVM instances.
