I just ordered quite a few servers, and, without verifying ahead of time, ordered without hard drives planning to boot over iSCSI using the built-in network cards (NOT an iSCSI HBA). I''m wondering if anyone has tried (and hopefully succeeded) installing XCP to an iSCSI volume using a network card with iSCSI boot support and the software iSCSI initiator in XCP. Obviously I can order HDs

Hello, It is nearly not possible to use XCP without a tutorial, in particular if ones has to use the xe CLI. Reading of reference.pdf and guests.pdf of XenServer and different wiki pages didn''t help enough. Even *XCP seems to be a very good software* it will be useless without good documentation because of it''s complexity. Thank you in advance for any hints. Regards, Mark

Xen List After planning for a year to move my Xen 3.4 classrooms to XCP I''m now making an effort. With the old system I wrote many lines of bash scripts around the xm command to group and manage my VMs. I used sudo to grant privileges for each student to start, stop, console into, reboot, and wipe their VMs without any interaction from me. Now with XCP I had the hope of moving to the

Have an Onapp system we are migrating away from to xenserver and it uses Xen source images I believe. I had no problem moving the MS Windows servers using the xenconvert utility, but not being a linux guy the conversion process of moving files from Onapp to xenserver is not clear. I think the files on Onapp are .img files, but they don''t use extensions from what I can tell when they

So, a few days ago I asked about network/iSCSI booting XCP (dom0). Doesn''t seem like it''s something that very many people have done, since I didn''t get much response, so I decided to give it a shot myself. I was able to install a couple of CentOS 5 packages that help with network booting and get the system to boot off of NFS (can provide some more detail on that,

Just a brief update, the XCP entry in my blog appears to be one of the most popular pages on my site on a recurring basis I think this is a sign that (surprise surprise) people are using Debian for servers, they want to continue doing so in the cloud/virtualization era and the ability to run XCP this way is something they specifically want - big thanks are due to all those who have made it

XCP Users: I received an email from Alberto Gonzalez Rodriguez who created OpenXenCenter/OpenXenManager and is now working on OpenXenWebManager. Info to access the tool is: steps to test are: download from http://bit.ly/bres2U uncompress: tar xvfz xenwebmanager_rev24_full.tar.gz cd xenwebmanager python frontend.py and with a browser open http://localhost:8080 (or http://ip:8080) you need

I''m trying to build out a test cloud using XCP 1.0.0 beta with 3 machines of 18 cores total (Phenom II 1090s). I''ve built three machines, installed XCP 1.0.0 beta on them and they all three have the same problem - the Realtek network cards don''t work. The following is the output from lspci 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI

Greetings all: I''m officially releasing the first beta of my Xen Cloud Control System package! This is a web server based control and operations system for Xen Cloud Platform that will work with any device with a browser (I run my cloud from my BlackBerry :) ). The package can be downloaded from http://www.swiftwatertel.com/PACKAGES/xcc-0.1-040610.tar.gz . This is an early beta

I built a new box for home use, it is an ASUS M5A99X EVO 990X, the CPU is the 1075T 3.0Ghz AM3. I have 16 gigs of 1333 RAM, it is Patriot brand non - ECC. The disk is a 1TB Western Digital SATA II 3.0 mbps. I am using a USB DVD drive to do the install When I attempt to install either a generic CentOS install, it gives a Kernel panic and dies, the error says something about CPU0 and it reboots

Hi, What is the preferred OS to use with XEN, as the dom0 host? We primarely us CentOS (currently 5.6) but it seems that the native XEN that comes with CentOS is a bit behind. What is the preferred OS to run on the dom0''s? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Hi. I have problem with installation XCP and XenServer on DomU. Installation just stuck after a while from installation beginning. DomU just stop responding, even reconnect with vncviewer isn''t possible. I''m using iso images to install. Dom0 is kernel 3.6-rc7 with xen 4.2.1-pre. I''m having such log: -videoram option does not work with cirrus vga device model. Videoram

Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal The current README.Debian is quite old It gives some advice that will lead to people having a broken system (e.g. no networking). It describes a procedure for configuring networking that is completely opposite to what has been described more recently on the upstream mailing list http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702337 I'm happy

Package: xcp-xapi Version: 1.3.2-14 Severity: important I understand that XCP version 1.3 doesn't support IPv6 This blog talks about enabling it in v1.6: http://jeffloughridge.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/ipv6-in-xcp-1-6/ However, one observation that I have made is that the dom0 host, in a default wheezy installation, has kernel IPv6 enabled and appears to have a link-local address on every

[previously posted to xen-devel@ and xen-api@ but this might be of interest to xen-users@ too] Hi, I''ve refreshed the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) .isos on xen.org with a new development snapshot (labelled version 0.1.1). XCP is a collaborative effort to build a complete cloud infrastructure platform, complete with a powerful management stack, standards-based APIs, support for multi-tenancy

Title: HOWTO-FreeBSD-on-XCP Author: John D. "Trix" Farrar Date: 2012-02-09 * The Challenge - ParaVirtualized FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE under XCP 1.1.0 The idea here is to create a PV FreeBSD VM under Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) without starting with an HVM first. The documentation I''''ve been able to find on-line is at least a year old and is mostly written for Xen (under

Well, now that I''ve figured out that network booting XCP is not really going to be feasible, I''m moving on to my next option: flash media installation. The systems that I purchased have SDHC slots on them, so I figured I''d attempt to install XCP to one of these cards. I had already read that there''s a minimum disk size in the installer (apparently 12 GB in

Thanks for all the help... XVP seems quite high on requirements. Like it needs an SMTP server set up. I''m not sure I like that. I found a tool called BixData, it''s proprietary but with a free license for a limited number of managed servers. Being a fully fledged cloud management system, it''s true overkill for me and my 3-4 virtual machines, but at least it seems quite
