[Xen-users] Non-XCP/XenServer frontend or management console
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 extra. Novell will be showing us their Orchestra product, but I have no idea what that costs. Thanks, James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] Non-XCP/XenServer frontend or management console
I can talk about what I know : Xen Orchestra. So far, developed for "classical" Xen (Xen 3.2 and Xen 3.4 tested on Debian). Web frontend (apache/php5/Javascript). Provisioning is not yet implemented, but you can do lot''s of other things (http://xen-orchestra.com) and check features (i.e cpu load etc) Current version is working well (but there is work to extend the project). I don''t know if it fits to your request. At work we use Xen Orchestra for overview and live migration (and other basic actions) and xen-tools on command line for creating new domU.

I got it installed. It''s looking for an sxp file for the configuration, which is a little different than what I have going. Most of my VMs have been created using virt-manager. After they are up and running I grab the configuration from xen store with a command like: xm list -l server1 > server1.conf If I need to move the VM to another server, or add and remove it for some reason, I delete it, then re-add it with this command: xm new -F server1.conf How is the best way change over to support XN-Manage?
