Linux & Virtualization on Altix

[Jason Dixon]

We recently picked up a new SGI Altix 350 (2 bricks, 4 cpus, 4GB) for  
"playing around", although it will hopefully become a part of our  
corporate development environment.  It came installed with SuSE 9  
SLES (which I'm not very fond of) and some Red Hat Enterprise for  
Itanium CDs, which I'd like to install in it.  I'd like to do some  
sort of virtualization, a la Xen, to allocate virtual systems to  
various developers, but I'm not finding much that will run on the  
Altix 350 in 32-bit mode with SMP, much less ia64.

Has anyone run Xen on *any* flavor of Linux running on Altix (in  
particular, Red Hat/Fedora-based)?  Any suggestions or ideas?
