About the common vDisk image feature
The Common Image feature allows a single vDisk to simultaneously support multiple target device platforms, greatly reducing the number of vDisks an administrator must maintain. The procedure for creating a common image depends on the target device platform.
Supported target device platforms include:
-
A combination of XenServer VMs and physical devices (virtual-to-virtual and virtual-to-physical). For details, refer to Create Common Images for use with XenServer VMs and Physical Devices, or Blade Servers.
-
Multiple types of physical devices (different motherboards, network cards, video cards, and other hardware devices). For details, refer to Creating a Common Image for use with Multiple Physical Device Types
-
Blade servers. For details, refer to Create Common Images for use with XenServer VMs and Physical Devices, or Blade Servers
