How can I force xenserver to create a full (not paravirtualized) vm?
Exact opposite of this question:
How to makesure VM is in Para virtualization mode on XEN?
I've got xenserver 6.2 and nowhere in the UI when creating a VM does it give me the option to use HVM and not paravirtualize by default.
Any ideas?
