similar to: XCP vs XenServer (free edition) or is it XCP mature enough?

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, Is it possible to create a custom template for XCP? Or edit an existing one? I know that I could create a VM and then exported as a template, but I would prefer to create a template like "Debian Lenny 5.0" that install debian from the network but with 64bits instead of the 32bits used by the template. -- Angel L.

Hello, I have just installed a debian domU in a xcp server. After install xen-tools in the domU, then I have a new repository: deb http://updates.vmd.citrix.com/XenCloudPlatform/0.1.1/debian/ lenny main but this URL doesn''t exist. What is the correct URL? -- Angel L. Mateo Martínez Sección de Telemática Área de Tecnologías de la Información _o) y las Comunicaciones Aplicadas

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

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. 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

Hello, I’m having difficulty to starting Ubuntu 10.04 virtual machine with XCP 0.5.0. I put 3 files (vmlinuz, initrd.gz, xm-debian.cfg) in the same place under the unpacked ISO tree but when I start the VM, the following error is returned: # xe vm-install template="Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 (32-bit)" new-name-label=Teste other-config-install-repository=nfs:10.0.0.3:

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

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

Hello, For my xen domUs I''m using a mixture of locah physical partitions (with LVM) and iSCSI disks. For local partitions, I don''t have any problem, because LVM volumes are always the same. But for iSCSI disks, devices are assigned in the order they are connected, so I can''t be sured that device that now is /dev/sdb (for example) will always be /dev/sdb. So, is there

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.

Hello, I have a xen server that needs to run a domU on a different vlan than xen''s. I have configured my switch (a cisco catalyst) to tag every untagged packet to the default vlan (the one in which is dom0) and to accept tagged packets (for that domU). I have xenbr0 linked with the eth0, the default network. Then I run * vconfig add eth0 101 -> To create a virtual interface with

Hi all. Obviously there''s been a lot of talk lately about frontends or management consoles for xen. All, or most, seem to be for XCP or XenServer. Is there anything for a group of standalone servers sharing storage? In my case it''s SLES11 with xen 3.4.1. I would love to have a frontend for seeing status, starting, and stopping domains. Provisioning new domains would be an

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

Hello, We are trying to deploy our new ldap servers infrastructure with virtual servers running with xen. So we have installed two debian (etch) virtual machines under different domU''s (domUs are debian etch two). We are using bridge networking in xen, with default init scripts. In our test environment, these servers are working fine. But we are having problems with these new servers

Hello, I have detected a problem with my network interfaces in my xen servers. The problem I have is that snmp is reporting interfaces as 10Mbps, although they are connected at 1000Mbps. Nevertheless, the nic is working at 1000Mbps, because it reports traffic at more than 10Mbps. This is not a critical bug, but it is annoying, because we have scripts to monitor interfaces and create usage

Hello, Since my last update of xen, I am having problems with bridges and xen. When I want to start a bridge on the dom0 (to run a domU in a different vlan than the default) I run /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start netdev=eth0.302 bridge=xen-br302 antispoof=no where eth0.302 is an interface associated with my vlan 302 (it tags with this vlan identifier). The problem I have is that it

Hello, I have a Xen dom0 (Debian Etch running xen 3.0.3) running different domUs. DomUs'' disks are LVM2 volumes. Now I have increased the size of one of these LVM volumes so I have to inform to the corresponding domU that its disk has increased its size (to resize it without unmounting it). How can I do this? -- Angel L. Mateo Martínez Sección de Telemática Área de Tecnologías de la

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
