similar to: XCP Snapshots and Unreclaimable Disk Space

Hi list, Saw that there''s a patch for xenserver 5.6fp1 which should fix this: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX129267 Anybody know if/when this will happen on XCP? I have the same problem - disk usage remains the same after snapshot deletion - this is in the log on the pool master: vhd-util: libvhd::vhd_validate_footer: invalid footer cookie: ÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇ This guy has the same

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

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.

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

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. 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

Expected version: 5.6; Detected version: 1.1 wasnt there a trick to change it and fake it to be correct?? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

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

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

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: xcp-storage-managers Version: 0.1.1-2ubuntu1 Severity: normal This bug prevents CDROM VDIs from being hotplugged into guest VMs. The issue is that the NFS ISO SR configures the ISO VDIs to be 'file' types, which it should configure them to by 'phy' types. This breaks on Debian's Xen because the Debian hotplug scripts are more robuse than the ones on XenServer, and

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? --

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

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

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,

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. ->

hi，guys I try to install XCP using answerfile. I made all the environment needed well, and it works well without answerfile. However, there are so many machines to be installed, so I want to install it via unattended way. So i write a answerfile by copying the example of the manual. ------------------> label xenserver-auto kernel xenserver/mboot.c32 append xenserver/xen.gz dom0_mem=752M

Hi, I think this would be the best forum, let me know if not. I am in the middle of writing fencing scripts for Citrix XenServer virtual machines (specifically for use with Redhat Clustering, but will also work from pacemaker etc) and I noticed that XCP uses the same XenAPI (from what I can tell). Just wondering if someone would be able to test the scripts on XCP and let me know if they work.

Greetings, I recently upgraded Dovecot from 1.2 to 2.0.14, for purposes of using Dsync to migrate emails from one server to another. I'm using MySQL for authentication. However I get this error message when I try to run Dsync, and after looking around for an answer, I'm at a bit of a loss: [root at triata ~]# dsync -v -u asai at globalchangemusic.org backup ssh -p22222 vmail at
