Hi, I am looking for open source application that does similar to NC states Virtual Computing Library (VCL) for xen management. I have seen ovirt.org, but it seems to require hardware virtualization, which I don''t have. any pointers will be appreciated. /yonas

It''s also planning on integrating Cobbler support in the future. These solutions are more CLI/batch/scripting oriented though if you need to customize your own solution for specific things (like the VCL case) you may want that anyway -- I''m not too familiar with the VCL to say for sure. --Michael

Func does have one in development though it has a ways to go. Still usable from the command line/API/etc.
