Hello,
I am just installing XCP 0.1.1 on a server with 24GB RAM
Normally XCP is a 64 bits version but
* *uname -a*
Linux node012 2.6.27.42-0.1.1.xs0.1.1.737.1065xen #1 SMP Fri
Jan 15 16:20:16 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
(not a x86_64 version !!!!)

Hello, First, thank you for your fast answear. There is no 64 bits version of XCP dom0?

I guess XCP might switch to 64b at some point, but there aren''t any strong reasons for it at the moment.

Thank you Vincent, Pasi and Ian for your answears and hoping that can you help me a little more with your advice :-) Let me explain more precisely my problem. We just installed a new cluster (32 servers with Nehalem CPU and 24 GB). To automate the deployment of XCP on multiple machines, we want to create an image of the installed software of XCP. P.S. we use Bright Computing as a cluster manager http://www.brightcomputing.com/ Now we installed XCP in a physical machine and want to grab all the softwares (the hypervisor and the dom0) on an image that can be deployed automatically on the whole cluster using Bright Computing Cluster Manager. Any idea or advice ?

Just thinking on XCP specific things, you probably need to delete the cloned database, and have the first scripts rerun on the cloned machine (have a look at /etc/firstboot.d). But this is not trivial, and you have to ready to commit some time and effort to do that. -- Vincent _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
