The options I'm considering at the moment are using Oracle Linux for the Dom0 and using Debian for the Dom0 with an Oracle kernel.
Oracle Linux itself doesn’t run Xen well, as it’s a (mostly) pure derivative of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and they removed Xen Dom0 support from their latest release. I would recommend/suggest trying out the combination of Oracle VM 3.2 (which is Xen 4.2) as your Dom0 with Oracle Linux as the DomUs. This would give you an OCFS2-based repository which could be shared across multiple systems. Note that Oracle VM and Oracle Linux are both free to download, distribute, use and update. Oracle VM also includes a full web-based management tool that configures the server(s), networking, storage and guests, including live migration and HA support out-of-the-box. Feel free to ping me directly for more info. Cheers, Avi
