XCP Users: As many of you are aware, there are several open source products available for everyone to use when working with XCP. I would like to get some feedback on the various tools to get a feeling on how people are using XCP and these tools. Here are the tools that I am aware of (please respond if you are using another tool): * OpenXenManager - www.openxenmanager.com<http://www.openxenmanager.com> * Xen Orchestra Project - http://xen-orchestra.com * Xen VNC Proxy - www.xvpsource.org<http://www.xvpsource.org> * Xen Cloud Control System - www.xencloudcontrol.com<http://www.xencloudcontrol.com> * Convirture - www.convirture.com<http://www.convirture.com> (not sure if they enabled XCP APIs or not) Finally, in the XCP meeting yesterday, it came up that XenCenter from Citrix should also be allowed to connect to XCP as it does not now. XenCenter only runs on a Windows machine and there is no plan to port to Linux so it is unclear how many XCP users would leverage this tool. I would like to gauge community thoughts on this as well.

Thanks, Steve. I checked Xen Cloud Control System, but it''s not on line? I''m not sure if Xen Orchestra Project uses XAPI; I''m negative as far as I looked the code. The CloudStack Community Edition looks good (http://open.cloud.com), although it supports only libvirt as far as I understand. Since they support XenServer 5.6 in the Enterprise Edition, I think they can add XAPI support somehow. Even if XenCenter runs only on Windows, I think it should be useful if it can connect to XCP; it''s much easier to install from my experience. All the other ones assume particular distro of Linux, and they typically require many things to install.

hi: as far as to now,i have tried both openxenmanager(openxencerter) and convirture 2.0,here are some of my experience: 1) for openxenmanager(opencenter),i run it on my window xp ,gui seems great,but it seems to be too easy to going dead,so i need to restart it again and again.... 2) for convirt 2.0,i tried to install the convirt tool on the xcp host but failed;the installing script report as follows: [root@xenserver-xcp-1 scripts]# ./convirt-tool setup DISTRO RedHat VER 0.1.1-25823p CODENAME xenenterprise KERNEL 2.6.27.42-0.1.1.xs0.1.1.737.1065xen ARCH i686 Info: Sourcing /opt/convirture-tools-2.0/install/managed_server/scripts/../../../common/scripts/RedHat_functions /opt/convirture-tools-2.0/install/managed_server/scripts/../../../common/scripts/functions: line 83: xm: command not found Xen server (xend) is not running...

Hi all, my experience is very similar to wangalalei’s. OpenXenManager is really a good think but it is unstable. I have to restart it after quite every operation. I was unable to install convirture 2.0 too. Vern’s XCCP is really a good project, I think that it would be wonderful if Vern will release a customized VM with all installed like XVP. I think that XenCenter could be a very good solution, even if it runs only on windows platform.

Hello, for XCP, there is only usable solution and it si openxenmanager, but it is standalone application and lacks multiple users support and their privileges (administrator, operator (provisioning machines), guest (view only). The application often hangs or dies. I tried Convirt, it doesn`t looks like to support XCP, not even in Enterprise version. XCC site is down It would be nice if Convirt has XCP support, not only kvm/xen. r.

Stephen: Well, obviously I''m using XCCS, it being my baby and all :). I''m running a full scale public cloud with it and XCP here. My goal with the combination, and the reason XCCS exists in the first place, is to match or beat the big boys for cloud automation. It''s nice to be able to beat Amazon, etc on price but if you can beat them on user experience and functionality then all the better. The next foray with XCP and XCCS is hosted infrastructure private clouds :).
