I have been playing around with Citrix XenServer Express. It seems
pretty cool, and mostly meets my needs, except that the Express (Free)
version only supports up to 4GB of RAM. I have 8GB on my machines.
Since XenServer is based on Xen, I should be able to just install a base
install of CentOS and use a third party management client to get all
(most?) of the functionality of the XenServer without having to be
limited to 4GB of RAM.
Can someone recommend tools that I can use to manage the Xen hosts? I
see there is Ganeti, but that seems to be linux only. I would prefer a
windows or a web client, as I intend to have the actual Xen hosts be as
stripped down installation as possible.
As far as being able to utilize 8GB in CentOS do I need to install the
x86_64 version, or is there some sort of AWE support? I remember
reading that x86_64 version has some compatibility issues.
Thanks in advance,
Russ
