I was wondering if someone could direct me to a resource or provide their own insights to differences between Xen and XCP. I have used Xen to go virtual on a majority of my infrastructure (Except for one NT 4 box) and was wondering if going with XCP would bring about any major benefits? For instance, from what I understand from what I have read, XCP allows you to create resource pools. The

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

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

Hello all, I have found the commands for enabling this feature but is there any additional documentation that is specific to XCP 1.0? Such as monitoring current usage (is it doing anything), maybe even a graph in xencenter that shows trends of usage?

Has anyone experimented with installing XCP from a USB thumb drive? Is it possible? How was the installation media installed to the USB thumb drive (e.g., dd)?

I just noticed OpenXenCenter (aka OpenXenManager) that is an open source replacement for Citrix's XenCenter. This tool works with XenServer. But as per the blog entry: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2010/02/09/xen-cloud-platform-installation/ it is also supposed to work with Xen Cloud Platform. XCP is licensed GPL2 and is a combination of multiple packages. Has the team looked at the

i have downloaded the CentOS distribution that comes with Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) at http://www.xen.org/download/xcp/index.html. i am trying to install the parted utility. yum install parted however, i get the following message.

Hi all I'm looking for the linux source files for CentOS 5.1 2.6.18-53.el5. To install VirtualBox, I apparently need the kernel sources, and even after installing kernel-devel & kernel-headers via yum I still get an error saying I need the kernel-sources [root at gimbli ~]# ll /usr/src/kernels/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5-x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1

Good day. We trying to test XCP cloud under some product-like load (4 hosts, each with 24Gb mem and 8 cores) But with just about 30-40 virtual machines I got an extreme load on dom0 on pool master host: LA is about 3.5-6, and most time are used by xapi and stunnel processes. It''s really bother me: what happens on higher load with few thousands of VMs with about 10-16 hosts in pool...

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

[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

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.

Hi list, I have recently migrated to XCP from Vmware Server 2 and have run into issues importing the VM''s Following citrix''s guide I tried using XenCenter to do the import directly on the vmdk files this resulted in XenCenter logging this error: "Failed to import. ---> System.Exception: Failed to import virtual disk file. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element

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

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.

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
