lxc and xen in the same cloud

[Rodrigo Lopez <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I have deployed a Cloud with CS 4.1.1 with two clusters of Xen hypervisor.
We are now facing the possibility to add a new cluster running LXC. I 
have read the documentation on how to configure CS to use LXC, and that 
created some doubts:

If I follow the docs and configure the CS to use LXC will the 
environment that is already set up continue to run without any problems?

I also read that it is needed a KVM host to run the system VMs for the 
LXC host. I would like to add a cluster of ARM servers running LXC. So, 
I was not planning to add KVM hypervisor on them. Would it be ok to have 
a cluster running KVM to provide the resources for the system VMs that 
are going to be needed for the LXC cluster?

The way I understand this, you will have only to create an LXC cluster 
in your existing zone, and just be careful about what Network labels you 
use for the LXC (Zone config).

No, any hypervisor should do. There are no SVM templates for LXC, that's 
all.
