DomU

From Xen

A DomU is the counterpart to Dom0; it is an unprivileged domain with (by default) no access to the hardware. It must run a FrontendDriver for multiplexed hardware it wishes to share with other domains. A DomU is started by xend in Dom0, which the user accesses with the xm command-line tool. The kernel for a DomU comes from Dom0's filesystem, not from the filesystem exported to the DomU.
