Hi, Is there by any chance a Xen demo CD for the current unstable tree? I''d like to be able to test Xen 3 on my AMD64 without risking my data and without extended downtime.

It''s currently just with some test partners, but will be made avaiable for general download later this week. It''s a live ISO that boots a native linux kernel and runs automated tests, then reboots into 32 bit Xen and runs the same tests, then repeats with reboots into 32 bit PAE xen and where appropriate 64bit Xen. It records a tar file of the results that it then tries to upload to xensource.com for post processing. The CD will also run network tests if you run another copy of the CG booted into network server mode on a machine on the same subnet (thye use mDNS to find each other). We''ll do a 3.0 demo CD after the official release. Best, Ian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have AthlonXP, Athlon64 and PII platforms at home that I can test on and also have access to various 32/64bit servers at work (IBM & HP) that I can test on. I would be more than happy to contribute test results with the selfish goal of trying to ensure that Xen3 works for me :-) Thanks, Fraser _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
If there is a need ( besides my selfish playing around ) I may also have some free time and hardware available to test on. Specifically: IBM HS20 ( 2 X 2.2 / 4 GB ) Blade IBM HS40 ( 4 X 2.0 / 8 GB ) Blade <- current fedora core 4 / xen-2.0.7 testing ( 40 rhel4es guests ) HP DL380 G4 ( 2 X 3.6 / 5 GB ) HP DL385 G4 ( 2 X 2.6 / 8 GB ) HP DL580 G2 ( 4 X 2.0 / 8 GB ) With more free time, could also test on: Older Compaq / HP hardware: Proliant 1600 ( 2 X ?? ) ML370''s (G1/G2/G3) ( 2 X ?? ) Proliant 3000''s ( Duals ) Proliant 5500''s ( 4 X ?? ) Proliant 6500''s ( 4 X ?? ) Thanks, J.J. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Fraser Campbell Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 8:18 AM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] xendemo-3.x.iso?
