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.

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

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

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 am a newb to XCP and somewhat to Linux. I set up XCP on a test machine and used xe to configure a couple of VMs. The VMs are working fine but if I deploy XCP with only xe to manage machines, the others here will want my head on a plate. I set up a Fedora client on a different machine and installed Virtual Machine Manager. When trying to connect via SSH, I get an error that says

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, 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

Ive got XCP 1.1 on 2 blades and setup a pool master, then shared the SR all seems fine, Id like to manage it with XenServer Web Self, though its throwing an error Unsupported version of Citrix XenServer detected. 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

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. 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

Hi list, I have recently migrated to XCP from Vmware Server 2 and have run into issues importing the VM''s Following citrix''s guide I tried using XenCenter to do the import directly on the vmdk files this resulted in XenCenter logging this error: "Failed to import. ---> System.Exception: Failed to import virtual disk file. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element

Hello, I’m having difficulty to starting Ubuntu 10.04 virtual machine with XCP 0.5.0.

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

Hello, I hope to be in the right list. my question is the following. I can''t seem to get multipathing configure on XCP 1.6. In XenCenter I was able to enable "Multipath" however, in the LUN under general tab I see " multipath 1 of 1 active", the the CLI I do the following command xe --m node session it list only one session. Can someone help me please? Thanks in

Hi, I''ve been trying to use E5520 and X5650 together in an heterogeneous pool without success. I know the combination is not on the official XenServer supported list (http://hcl.xensource.com/CPUPoolsList.aspx), but I thought it would be possible to set the mask anyway and see for myself if the combination works… My problem is that the mask doesn''t "stick" after a

Hello, I just tried out XCP and I was surprised to see it looks pretty much like Xen from Citrix. Based on the RPM packages installed, I assume XCP is based on RHEL5. With that in mind, I have a few questions that I did not find an answer on the web... Perhaps I didn''t look in the right places, so if you know about any good documentations that I should read please share it :)
