Hi all, I read with pleasure the announcement of the Kronos project. Some time ago someone had asked if it was possible to bring xapi on debian. The answer had been that xapi on XCP works through changes in the os and this made it difficult to porting. So the question is: will now be able to recompile xapi on systems other than the official without it becoming a hell? XCP is a great system, but when an installation already exists, it would be great to use xen + xapi. Following OpenStack we realized that the version officially supported is xpc /XenServer (ok ok and xen through libvirt). Having the opportunity to expose the same API in a different system would be perfect. That the Kronos project has as a side effect to make this easier :) ?

Debian/Ubuntu (or pick your distro and port packages, if needed) + xapi + xapi-openstack-plugins + openstack packages being easier is an important goal. Debian packages for OpenStack exists (http://wiki.openstack.org/Packaging/Debian). You can install them on a Debian + xapi test system even.

This made me hope for an easy installation of XCP package, but the 64 bit rebuild was more complicated than expected. The next cluster should have a centos6, and on my test i would try xapi-openstack-plugin - xapi - xen. I''ll start with tests in the coming days: if anyone is interested i can keep the list updated of the progress. -- Muriel _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
