Hi all, I finally got Xen3.0 running on my server and it works really well, however the administration side of running the server is a bit annoying. I''ve been back onto the xen website and since I installed my server and noticed that Xen now have some enterprise solutions, (if only I had waited I would have paid for one of these instead of the open source version) The main advantage to using one of these is that they have an administrator console that you can install remotely. I was wondering if anyone had any experience or ever tried using the XenSource Administrator Console with the open source version (free) of Xen (3.0). I''ve installed the console on my remote machine, but when I try to connect to my Xen dom0 it say that its not a XenSource server... Surely the the Xen Enterprise editions and the open source versions are pretty similar? There must be a way of getting the Admin console working.... I Hope! :-) Thanks in advance... -Simon ==========================================================================The contents of this email are intended for the named addresses and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

And, even when you solve tis somehow, if you sell a product with support, and allow people to use it with their self-compiled stuff, you lose control, and must either write in the contract that this situation _can_ work, but is not supported, or you got to hell with support hours that you give without additional fee, because people build their stuff wrong, etc. Henning _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I''ve done the latter, with some success, for Subversion and right now for Nagios and MRTG and Xen. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Can you tell me where can I find source code of linux xen kernel 2.6.18.3? I''ve downloaded xen 3.0.4 from source and compiled it but kernel 2.6.16-33 doesn''t recognize my SATA device. I''ve installed Debian from kernel 2.6.18-33 Thanks, Carlo _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The newer ones are ported from the distributions developers. AFAIK the debian team uses the port made actually by the fedora people - best to my knowledge at least, hopefully none of both parties feels objected when I say this :)> I''ve installed Debian from kernel 2.6.18-33You get sources for debian xen packages as for any other debian package. Try apt-get source <sourcepackagename> - but I am not sure which one is the right source package name for this package. You can ask on debian-user mailing list or pkg-xen-devel (or something like that) Mailing list, where the xen package maintainer hang around.
