I''m attempting to convert a CentOs 5.6 x64 machine from Xen (Open Source) to Citrix XenServer and I am having some trouble towards the final stages. I need to take the .XVA created by XVA.PY and use XenConvert to manipulate this into another file format (OVF). Here''s the process I use: 1. Poweroff the VM 2. Create a new disk in 3 times the size of the primary 3. Sign in to

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

Hi, I installed two linux VMs in XenServer 6.0, one is CentOS 5.5 and the other is Ubuntu 10.04, both of which are HVMs. I install xenserver tools many times and the packages are installed, but XenCenter keeps telling me that "Xenserver tools is not installed".

Hi, It''s been forever and a day since I last posted here, mainly because I haven''t touched Xen in a few years now due to job changes... But now I''ve been handed a project to work with XenServer, Citrix''s commercial grade Xen. So, I wanted to ask if there were any people here with experience using XenServer, XenCenter and so on, or if you knew of a better list

Hi, I have Gluster 3.2.6 RPM's for Citrix XenServer 6.0. I've installed and mounted exports, but that's where I stopped. My issues are: 1. XenServer mounts the NFS servers SR subdirectory, not the export. Gluster won't do that. -- I can, apparently, mount the gluster export somewhere else, and then 'mount --bind' the subdir to the right place 2. I don't really know

Hi, Do you think it''s possible to run Xenserver/XCP or xen from an usb drive or memory card like it''s possible for vmware please ? Is it recommended ? Are there any performance issue :-) ? I would like to dedicate all of the local storage to hosting VMs only. Looking at xen/xenserver/xcp doc, i was wondering why there''s so few tutorial on installing them on usb

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

Hello, What is for you the best GlusterFS scenario in using XenServer (i'm not talking about Xen on a linux but XenServer baremetal) for a web farm (Apache-Tomcat) ? I were thinking of using ZFS as the filesystem for the different nodes. The objectives/needs : * A storage cluster with the capacity equal to at least 1 node(assuming all nodes are the same). * being able to lose/take down any

I've been using XenServer / XCP (with the "xe" toolset) for a number of years for hosting servers used for development and free software projects and I'm now looking at migrating all those environments to libvirt / KVM. I had a look at the wiki[1] already and didn't see XenServer mentioned there. Could anybody help comment on or explain a few things: - comparison between

Guys! I have one fiber channel IBM storage (10T) and 8 HP Proliant servers with 32G of RAM on each and 1 HP with 4G of RAM. My question is: * How to use the same storage (block device) with all my different virtualization servers simultaneously?

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.
