Hi, What is the preferred OS to use with XEN, as the dom0 host? We primarely us CentOS (currently 5.6) but it seems that the native XEN that comes with CentOS is a bit behind. What is the preferred OS to run on the dom0''s? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

[previously posted to xen-devel@ and xen-api@ but this might be of interest to xen-users@ too] Hi, I''ve refreshed the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) .isos on xen.org with a new development snapshot (labelled version 0.1.1). XCP is a collaborative effort to build a complete cloud infrastructure platform, complete with a powerful management stack, standards-based APIs, support for multi-tenancy

A friend of mine recommended checking out the Vyatta project. I was reviewing their website and saw endorsements of their product running on both Vmware and Xen. In fact, they have a Vmware virtual image and a beta XenServer image. However, I am running a typical Debian Lenny 64 DomU installed through the repositories. According to their installation documents, it states that the ISO can be

I'm trying to move my current Samba AD DC VM from EXSi vSphere to XenServer (XCP-NG). I was able to export the VM to .OVA file & import it into XCP-NG fine. I was able to open ADUC & the DNS manager in Windows without an issue. But my web server had a lot of these errors in the log & couldn't mount the SMB shares from the file server: kerberos_kinit_password <HOSTNAME>

Hi, I just compiled libvirt with ESX support. I can login just fine, list all the guests/domains but when I try to reboot or shutdown one of my guests/domains I get this error: virsh # reboot dbcluster1 error: Failed to reboot domain dbcluster1 error: internal error HTTP response code 500 for call to 'RebootGuest'. Fault: ServerFaultCode - fault.RestrictedVersion.summary And nothing

I would like to gain some idea of the XCP impact of these two CPU versions: Intel Core i7-2600, 3.4 GHz Core i7-2600K, 3.5 GHz Both have VT-x Differences 2600K does not include: Embedded Opions Available vPro Technology Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Trusted Execution Technology Is the difference critical? Thanks, ray

I''m needing to put a network card on a test server XCP 1.0. I''m seeing the citrix hcl (http://hcl.xensource.com) and I''m a doubt. I base that on which version to look for a compatible card? If the kernel is the same as in 5.6.0 FP1, but if the version of XCP uses the hypervisor 3.4.2 neither appears on the list. ps: I had a RTL-8169 but stopped working with update 0.5

Hello, I have been using Xen for many years now. I have mainly used it on Ubuntu and Debian, but I have also tried it on CentOS 5. Most of my machines have been installed a few years back. Then there seemed to be good packages for most distributions and a lot of nice examples on how to get it working. Now that I am trying to install a new server with the latest version of my favorite

Hi all, I started studying xen to implement some HA cluster hosting multiple guests. I am realizing that xen does not provide any native way to hot-clone or hot-backup a guest. Am I right ? Is there any way to how backup a virtual machine? Or is suspend - copy - resume the only possible tecnique ? Is there any way to clone a virtual machine? Do vm snapshots exists? Thank you for every answer!

Hi, I am new to virtualization and I am having the obvious hassle of choosing between Xen and KVM. Can Xen experts help me with this? Regards, Arindam _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Thanks for all the help... XVP seems quite high on requirements. Like it needs an SMTP server set up. I''m not sure I like that. I found a tool called BixData, it''s proprietary but with a free license for a limited number of managed servers. Being a fully fledged cloud management system, it''s true overkill for me and my 3-4 virtual machines, but at least it seems quite

Hi. We look to switch from XenServer, as it latest versions do not run on our eserver xSeries 336 server. Does the XCP 1.1 fully support this hardware? Also, any idea how well the Xen tools, such as XenCenter and Xen HW->VM tools supported in 1.1 release? I seen there is a feature called XAPI that makes the XCP look as fully-featured XenServer. Thanks.

Hello Everyone, I am new with XCP. I''ve setup several hosts with* XCP 1.0* and manage it through XenCenter and command console. Each host has two NICs, one (xenbr0) connected to a physical switch for Internet (said sw1), the other (xenbr3) connected to a physical switch for internal network (said sw2). I am trying to setup VMs and VLANs on xenbr3. I created a virtual bridge by

Hello, I am a system manager of a datacenter. Is this moment, we about 30-40 xen servers running 2 or 3 domUs each of them. We are now using (standalone) xen over debian lenny. We manage each xen server independently, but we are looking for a central management console. At this moment, I have the doubt about using citrix xenserver (the free edition) or XCP. I didn''t know much

Hello, I would like to understand how come the wiki seems to so deprived of attention. I am trying to research XCP for example and a lot of the links point to pages that don''t exist etc. Is the documentation team under-staffed? Is there some other resource that has become the de-facto place to go when wanting documentation? Thank you for your time, Remember -- I am only trying to

Well, now that I''ve figured out that network booting XCP is not really going to be feasible, I''m moving on to my next option: flash media installation. The systems that I purchased have SDHC slots on them, so I figured I''d attempt to install XCP to one of these cards. I had already read that there''s a minimum disk size in the installer (apparently 12 GB in

Hi, Do you think it''s possible to run Xenserver/XCP or xen from an usb drive or memory card like it''s possible for vmware please ? Is it recommended ? Are there any performance issue :-) ? I would like to dedicate all of the local storage to hosting VMs only. Looking at xen/xenserver/xcp doc, i was wondering why there''s so few tutorial on installing them on usb
