Having Mac OS X on a XEN virtual machine

mac-osxmac-osx-servervirtual-machinesvirtualizationxen

Is it possible to have Mac OS X guest on a XEN host?

If yes, how?

There are difference for Mac OS X Server?

In particular I'm interested in the installation of a testing Mac OS X Server inside a XEN domU, being the host a Debian linux server in the case that this would matter.

Thanks in advance

Your license for MacOS X only allows it to be run on Apple hardware. Only MacOS X server allows for virtualisation. Both vmware and Parallels have products which support this.

It is possible to run MacOS non server in other virtualisation systems however it is not legal to do so. If you ran linux on the bare metal of a Apple peice of hardware you may be able to get Xen to run MacOS server legally.
