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 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". Are xenserver tools of linux intended only for PV vm? I am not familiar with xenserver and need help.Thanks! Best Regards,

Hi all, I have upgraded a test machine from OpenSuSE 11.1 to 11.2. I have found following bug: the server is a 2x quadcore intel box also 2x4=8cpu If you limit the dom0 cpu with dom0-cpus= [1-7]: - [xenwatch_cb] is running 100% cpu and makes var log entry every 65 sec BUG: soft lockup - CPU#X stuck for 61s! - xm commands not work - xend is dead if set dom0-cpus to 0 or 8: - everything looks

Hi, I am new to citrix xen server. I have sucesfully installed citrix xen server 5.6.1 Fp1(free version) on my system. and through xencenter I have connected citrix xenserver and created vm (centos 5.5 32 bit), Installed Xen-tools in centos.

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

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

Hi, Can someone send me the build steps how to build for Citrix XenServer ? I want to build a version of libvirt for Citrix XenServer. Regards, Navin

I didn''t want to re-open this old post that I found: http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/xen-users-Need-to-migrate-a-centos-image-from-xen-source-to-xenserver-td5532281.html however I am in the same predicament. Can anyone explain how to extract a Windows Server 2008 VM from Xen and import it into XenServer? -- View this message in context:

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.

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

Hello, I have Xenserver 5.0. When i install a new VM with Windows Server 2003 X64 Standard (R2) and install all windows-updates, it gives me a BSOD when i install the PV 0.9.12pre3 drivers.

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

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.

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 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

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

I finally decided to build 4.0.1 on my OpenSuSE box. I''ve been plodding along and resolving issues/dependencies as needed but now I''m stumped.
