communication of guest OSes with host OS

Hi all,
I have a question that how does communication works between guest OS and host OS over XEN. I mean when i check the hard ware config. over guest OS, it shows only the size of that VM and all.
But i want to know is it possible to view the hard drive info(like used space, left space and etc) of host OS through Guest OS. And similarly of guest OS through Host OS?
Basically how does WMI works on both ?
Thanks

For a guest OS to see Host drives you need to setup the shares in the configuration for the Vmware session. Now for the host to see the guest My thought is to setup networking as a bridge then using gui tools for network browsing might help. There is many ways it can be done.
