I have a couple of questions regarding XCP: First, there were rumblings that there are issues upgrading XCP (1.5 -> 1.6)? Any further detail on these potential issues, or what needs to be done to get around them? Second, it previous versions of XCP there were tricks that had to be played (documented on the Wiki) to make XenCenter believe that XCP was actually a modern version of XenServer,

One of the issues I''ve had using XenServer in a multitenant environment is the requirement for the VMs to have xentools installed as it causes significant issues when upgrading the VM OS or the pool from one version of XenServer (XCP) to another. Having to touch hundreds VMs (by hand) after an upgrade just doesn''t scale nor is delegating the task to VM owners an option.

If XCP supports Heterogenour CPU''s and Xencenter only supports it with advanced editons, how will XCP handle it when being used with Xencenter. I have a bunch of different Intel Cpu''s with different steppings and would like to be able to live migrate from within xencenter. Now I have to use the cli commands with my xenserver network and force the migration, but looking to move to

Hello, I am quite new on XCP. At first, i had a Xenserver server but i am looking for a full open source solution and of course I discovered XCP. Actually, i have one xenserver and one XCP server that I manage through Xencenter. I''m trying to P2V an existing ( old Mandriva ) server to XCP. I tried differents things, all without success. Boot on XCP disk to find a P2V option. ->

Anyone here using the XCP 1.0 Storage EqualLogic has the dell? In Citrix XenServer Xencerter appears to integration, but in XenCenter not with XCP. I read that the drivers were removed. No way around installing the drivers again? Cordialmente, Lorscheider Santiago +55 85 81559040 Msn: lorscheider_santiago@hotmail.com Visite meu blog: http://lsantiago.spaces.live.com Twitter:

Dear XCP lovers, We have installed XCP 1.1 on our BladeCenter and it is working like a charm. Except when creating a VLAN, the xenserver needs to be switched to bridge mode and back to openvswitch. As I understood, this is a bug in xenserver 5.6 SP2 and will be fixed in the xencenter 6.0 which will come with XCP 1.5. Is there a date when the beta version will be released ? Concerning our VLAN

Dear all, How to make XCP cannot management by XenCenter? We have an environment about 10 XCP host, and provide about 50 vm for users, We notice that some users want to use XenCenter to connect the XCP host, even they don’t have password, so we want to make XCP cannot use XenCenter and only for console management, is it possible? Sorry for the strange question,

Hello, I am trying/evaluating XCP to manage our virtualization servers. Now, I have installed it in a test server and as far as I can see, it is very similar to XenServer, but I can''t manage it with XenCenter graphical console. Is there any GUI for XCP? I could connect with OpenXenCenter, but it still isn''t mature to be useful. Or do I have to use with xe commands? --

Hello, I am using XCP 1.0 and am accessing it with XenCenter. I have three NIC''s and I have bonded two of them through the XenCenter frontend. I then create a VLAN using XenCenter and attach it to the bond0. I create a VM and create its NIC to use VLAN 10, which it does and when the VM boots the NIC shows Active inside of XenCenter. When I look at the XCP host it shows VLAN 10 as an

Hi. We look to switch from XenServer, as it latest versions do not run on our eserver xSeries 336 server. Does the XCP 1.1 fully support this hardware? Also, any idea how well the Xen tools, such as XenCenter and Xen HW->VM tools supported in 1.1 release? I seen there is a feature called XAPI that makes the XCP look as fully-featured XenServer. Thanks.

I''ve just been playing with XenSource and Kronos packages, but the fast cloning ability from XenServer doesn''t appear to be available. Where does this come from exactly, is it something built into Xen or is there a component of XenServer that''s needed to handle it? I was hoping to use Xen on Debian with my web app controlling it using either XAPI or Libvirt, but I

Hello everyone, I have XCP installed on a machine, with a guest OS running windows 7. Is there a way to login locally on the host machine itself (as opposed to using the console view in XenCenter?). The reason I am asking is that I am trying to look at interactions between Xen and graphics cards, and I want to make sure that the graphics card is being used ( as opposed to rendering through RDP).

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

New build with Ubuntu 13.04 and Xen 4.2. Installed XCP-XAPI as the plan was to use XenCenter to manage the installation. I pretty much followed this guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Setting%20up%20Xen%20and%20XAPI%20(XenAPI)%20on%20Ubuntu%20Server%2012.04%20LTS%20and%20Managing%20it%20With%20Citrix%20XenCenter%20or%20OpenXenManager With a few changes for things that have been fixed

I just noticed OpenXenCenter (aka OpenXenManager) that is an open source replacement for Citrix's XenCenter. This tool works with XenServer. But as per the blog entry: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2010/02/09/xen-cloud-platform-installation/ it is also supposed to work with Xen Cloud Platform. XCP is licensed GPL2 and is a combination of multiple packages. Has the team looked at the

Hello, I am a system manager of a datacenter. Is this moment, we about 30-40 xen servers running 2 or 3 domUs each of them. We are now using (standalone) xen over debian lenny. We manage each xen server independently, but we are looking for a central management console. At this moment, I have the doubt about using citrix xenserver (the free edition) or XCP. I didn''t know much

Dear All, I am new for XCP, Recently, i installed the XCP and open xencenter in our testbed. However, it has a message to notify me the license only have 30 days trial. Do anyone face this problem before? How can i obtain the full version of XCP instead of using the trial version?

I think the title says it all :) I got far enough along in the Xen documentation that the documentation recommended me to start using XenCenter to manage the server. Why am I being asked by XenCenter to register my XCP 1.0 server? I know it''s similar, but it''s not a Citrix XenServer... ;) >From what I can gather, XCP is open source freeware...correct me if I''m

XCP Users: As many of you are aware, there are several open source products available for everyone to use when working with XCP. I would like to get some feedback on the various tools to get a feeling on how people are using XCP and these tools. Here are the tools that I am aware of (please respond if you are using another tool): * OpenXenManager -
