similar to: how to manage xcp?

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, 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 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).

Hi all, Version 1.2 of the XCP migration utility is now available at: http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_projects.html Release highlight is the ability to migrate PV VMs that load kernel/ramdisk from the Dom0(without pygrub). In order for the script to automatically SFTP the kernel/ramdisk to the server( using --sftp ), you will need the paramiko module: http://www.lag.net/paramiko. You can

Hello, When trying to start VM I am getting the following error: # --- [root@xcp-dev01 ~]# xe vm-start uuid=f535e5bd-6540-3745-d494-14f776da85e5 Error code: INVALID_SOURCE Error parameters: Unable to access a required file in the specified repository: file:///tmp/cdrom-repo--2OF-Z/install.amd/xen/vmlinuz., , # --- I have used last xen server documentation to prepare the VM installation from

Xen List After planning for a year to move my Xen 3.4 classrooms to XCP I''m now making an effort. With the old system I wrote many lines of bash scripts around the xm command to group and manage my VMs. I used sudo to grant privileges for each student to start, stop, console into, reboot, and wipe their VMs without any interaction from me. Now with XCP I had the hope of moving to the

Simon, To add on to this question: Is it possible to run a VM (RHEL 5.2) which I had created on XCP 0.5 on XCP 1.0 whenever it is released?

Dear list, I am battling with rather grave performance issues in the 42052 build of XCP 1.0. Specifically, this concerns disk IO both on the host and in the VMs. I have tested the connectivity to the NFS/iSCSI server that backs the whole platform (Nexenta, SSD ZIL/l2arc, striping over 9 5-disk zraid1), and from a clean Ubuntu install, I am able to saturate the network both over NFS and iSCSI

I have just run into the following error when trying to create a debian lenny vm in XCP 0.5.0 from the command line. This used to work in 0.1.1 as far as I can remember. Here is what I did: [root@xcp1 ~]# UUID=`xe vm-install template="Debian Lenny 5.0 (32-bit)" new-name-label=lenny-test-1` VIF=`xe vif-create network-uuid=0c94af8b-da04-5417-cdd6-f4c6236aea8b vm-uuid=$UUID device=0` xe

Hi all, I`m evaluating methods for nightly "snapshot" a physical win2003 to xcp vm. I know it would be a lot easier and reliable just to to one convert one time and start to generate real vm snapshots, but at this time I cannot use this method. I tested the sequence: disk2vdh -> xenconvert (to xcp), but a big deal of using this method is that xenconvert does not send

Hi, For 10 times now i tried to install a VM in to my new XCP machine but everytime i get the same error: [root@xcp-digitog ~]# xe vm-start vm=Debian6 Error code: Using <class ''grub.GrubConf.Grub2ConfigFile''> to parse /boot/grub/grub.cfg Error parameters: WARNING:root:Unknown directive load_video, Traceback (most recent call last):, File "/usr/bin/pygrub",

I''m looking to expose a(several) drive "/dev/sda" that is physically to the XCP host to a pv guest running locally. I know this would tie the VM, which lives in a remote SR, to this specific XCP host that this local disk. I''m not looking to create a VHD file on this local drive and use it as a disk in the VM. I''m looking to expose entire physical disks to

Hi. I have a problem when defining a VM under XCP and use templates: all VM get a same disk size when I define it. How can I define a VM disk size before it is installed using XCP templates?
