similar to: [XCP] XCP 1.6 Upgrade and Functionality Questions

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.

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

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.

Hi all, today i tried to enable HA on xcp 1.6 but when i enable it through xencenter I received the following error in xensource.log: Dec 5 17:56:26 xcp1 xapi: [ info|xcp1|490661|Async.pool.enable_ha R:9119ce88ffcb|xapi_ha] Using statefile: /etc/xensource/static-vdis/0/disk Dec 5 17:56:26 xcp1 xapi: [debug|xcp1|490661|Async.pool.enable_ha R:9119ce88ffcb|xapi_ha]

Hi, After reading XenServer documents and debugging, I found the previous configuration is correct, here is the one I've configured to work: In XCP, as in XenServer, system's network configuration doesn't really matter, it only make sense before XCP starts and handles the network settings. So there is no need to configure VLAN on host machine, and you only need a minimal one active

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

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

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

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

Hi there. I needed to recompile xapi to fix a bug that was resolved regarding vdi-create not setting the sharable flag. I used the sources provided in the source-1.iso from xen.org. Everything is good in this regard, and creating a vdi that has "sharable=true" is possible, but I had a problem that forced me to revert to the older copy of the xapi binary because my XCP box was now being

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. ->

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

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:

Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi, Writting this message saddens me, but no choice... Because upstream authors (eg: Citrix) have explained that they cannot maintain the current version of XenAPI, or upgrade it to a newer version, we have no choice but to remove completely XenAPI from both Unstable and Testing. Quoting Euan Harris from Citrix (it's not needed for the FTP masters

I''m trying to contain my frustration...but I''m wondering if *anyone* has *ever* gotten the Import functionality to work in XCP? I''ve tried several times, and keep getting the same obnoxious and useless error that is absolutely no help to anyone: Failed to Import. I have made sure that the transfer VM is installed (View -> Show Hidden Objects, transfer VM is there),

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,

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

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 Everyone, I am new with XCP. I''ve setup several hosts with* XCP 1.0* and manage it through XenCenter and command console. Each host has two NICs, one (xenbr0) connected to a physical switch for Internet (said sw1), the other (xenbr3) connected to a physical switch for internal network (said sw2). I am trying to setup VMs and VLANs on xenbr3. I created a virtual bridge by
