Xen devel - Nov 2009 - Can the open source XAPI toolstack be used on SUSE 11?

Hi All,

I am trying to use the XAPI toolstack(open source by xensource.) to manager a
SUSE 11 host. However,the service XAPI start failed on SUSE 11 when I execute
"service xapi start".
I am not sure whether XAPI toolstack can be used based on SUSE 11?
Can anyone give me some information about version of xen hypervisor and patch I
need to match the XAPI toolstack ?

Cheers
Jay

Hi,

I haven''t tried to use xapi on SUSE 11.

If you:
. Compile the binary on a SUSE 11 maching (to prevent library version
mismatches)
. Use the xen and qemu versions listed on the xen.org page with the patch queues
applied
. Use the dom0 kernel from XCP
Then it ought to work, more or less. They may well be some trivial problem like
a missing file in /etc/. Could you post the end of your /var/log/xensource.log
file? That will probably contain relevant information.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Nice to receive your suggestion.

My purpose is to use the Xapi in the original SUSE11 rather than to replace
SUSE11''xen and dom0 kernel.
I am wondering whether the open source Xapi toolstack is developed to match the
XCP(xen, dom0 kernel and other patches)?
And is it possible to use xapi toolstack with no modification to manager other
virtual platform(such as SUSE),which is based on xen.

Thanks for your information. 

Cheers
Jay

Hi,

At the moment I would say that''s not possible to manage unpatches xen 
hypervisor, however at a later point we aim to have that feature, by 
having all the patches that make sense from XCP in upstream xen.
