[Avocado-devel] Is it possible to run qemu-backend tests on XEN?

[Cleber Rosa]

Hi Zhangbo,

Indeed the tests on the qemu-backend are not intended to be run on XEN,
but with either pure qemu (tcg) or qemu + KVM.

That's actually an interesting point: how hard would it be to tweak the
qemu backend to make its test usable on XEN? Anyway, if you're not willing
to spend a reasonable amount of time and energy, you should focus on the
libvirt backend to test XEN.

Cheers,
Cleber.
