Hi All, I am currently running Xen 3.3.1 in a production environment on CentOS 5.x, using the CentOS 5.x 2.6.18 xenlinux kernel with Xen 3.3.1 loaded instead of the CentOS Xen. The question is, is Xen 3.4.x considered production stable to upgrade to yet? I’m under the impression Xen 4.0.x is not production stable. In terms of migration to Xen 3.4.x, are there any hiccups I need to be aware of? Can I still use the CentOS 2.6.18 xenlinux kernel with Xen 3.4.x as per currently?

Hi David,
I am coming from the CentOS 2.6.18 kernel + Xen 3.3.1 from Gitco – not
the CentOS Xen 3.0.3. From 3.3 to 3.4 shouldn’t be too bad?
Regards,
Alan

Xen 3.4.3 is very much stable eight now, I was Using it with CentOS 5.5
x86_64 and it''s been running there for some months now.
On the other hand I''m making a big jump from 3.4.3 to 4.0.1 for testing
purposes and helping XEN community by reporting bugs and stuff, but my
DomUs won''t start, so tryin'' to figure it out.

Xen 3.4.x as per currently?
Well you get me with this one as I installed from GITCO repos directly I
didn''t use distro¡s version, do I don''t know that much about
migration
from 3.0 to 3.4, but it should be quite easy, just check xend-config.sxp
under /etc and make the necessary adjustments.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alan

So you know the drill, if you''ve got Gitco you''re a go, also
remember
that 3.0 is not longer maintained so it is a good idea to upgrade, just
as I said, check the xend-sconfig.sxp and the xmexample files under
/etc/xen directory for changes to get you going, just get the new repo
from gitco.de for 3.4.3 but I''d strongly advise to uninstall xen and
everything related to it and then install the new version to avoid
library conflicts and other hiccups that may creep up, I''ve tried to
upgrade and it''s rather painful so take my advise and try it out, first
on a test machine just copy the DomU and try to check it''s
functionality
if it all goes good carefully upgrade the production server.
Good luck.

Alan
