Hey Keir, Can you elaborate on the HA solution? Will this be something like Kemari, included with Xen, or something completely new? And by guest page sharing, this means memory overprovisioning/committing instead of the balloon driver automation from Oracle/Dan? Lastly, m/any changes to the XML-RPC Xen API? Thanks!

It''s in progress, but no definite completion date yet.> Lastly, m/any changes to the XML-RPC Xen API?I doubt it. Is anyone seriously working on that any more? -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Either way though, just as long as it doesn''t change (much), I''ll stay happy as I''ve been working quite a bit with it :-) One other question -- any thoughts on when 3.4.2 will be released? Thanks for the info on what we may see in the next version. -- Joshua West Senior Systems Engineer Brandeis University http://www.brandeis.edu _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

In this case I assume this will be 20103, 20104 and 20116. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
