Dear All, We are preparing amount 400 servers to deploy a large scale XEN cluster; I am looking for the best solution for that, these are some things I need to resolve: 1) 400 servers use raid-1, each server will have more than 100GB free disk space, I want to combine all of these for the cluster''s storage, so, it need to install the distribute file system; 2) How to deploy the high availability of XEN server? 3) How to assign the resources pool for each customer? 4) We provide virtualization service for our customers, the customers would use a GUI tool to connect for managing the virtual server, they can install they own VM, adjust the VM''s memory, CPU or hard ware resource, what tool can support these features? Thanks in advance for any advice or opinions on this. Best wishes, Dika.Ye _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It was my understanding it is meant to provision VMs for clients while they can pick their own specifications and that the created guests are offered in a HA way.

Hi Dika,> The XenServer client seems can''t connect to XEN server.Xenserver client (XenCenter) connects to XenServer (closed source, but with version that are free), so yes it cannot connect to standard Xen. However you should have a look to XCP (http://www.xen.org/products/cloudxen.html , the FOSS version of XenServer). It currently does not provide transparent migration of storage from one physical server to another, but it should mostly offer what you want. Currently you cannot use XenCenter to connect to XCP, but there are some other tools to do so. There is also a python API so it would be rather easy for you to build up a simple custom front end for your customer. cheers, Denis> > Best wishes, > > Dika Ye > > > -----邮件原件----- > 发件人: Rudi Ahlers [mailto:Rudi@SoftDux.com] > 发送时间: 2010年11月9日 3:01 > 收件人: Bart Coninckx > 抄送: lists@thohal.de; xen-users@lists.xensource.com; Dika Ye > 主题: Re: [Xen-users] XEN large scale cluster > > On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 3:51 PM, Bart Coninckx<bart.coninckx@telenet.be> wrote: >> On Monday 08 November 2010 14:41:22 Thomas Halinka wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> Am Montag, den 08.11.2010, 11:33 +0100 schrieb Bart Coninckx: >>>> On Monday 08 November 2010 10:55:56 Dika Ye wrote: >>>>> Dear All, >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> We are preparing amount 400 servers to deploy a large scale XEN >>>>> cluster; I am looking for the best solution for that, these are some >>>>> things I need to resolve: >>>>> >>>>> 1) 400 servers use raid-1, each server will have more than 100GB >>>>> free disk space, I want to combine all of these for the cluster''s >>>>> storage, so, it need to install the distribute file system; >>>>> >>>>> 2) How to deploy the high availability of XEN server? >>>>> >>>>> 3) How to assign the resources pool for each customer? >>>>> >>>>> 4) We provide virtualization service for our customers, the >>>>> customers would use a GUI tool to connect for managing the virtual >>>>> server, they can install they own VM, adjust the VM''s memory, CPU or >>>>> hard ware resource, what tool can support these features? >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Thanks in advance for any advice or opinions on this. >>>>> >>>>> Best wishes, >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Dika.Ye >>>> >>>> You could have a look at openQRM. >>> >>> im the Community-Manager @openQRM and it does absolutely not fit in this >>> environment! >>> >>>> B. >>> >>> Im just pointing out my notes in form of a wiki, which i hope is >>> tomorrow online. i would fill it with some more content, dcescriboing >>> such a setup. >>> >>> stay tuned, >>> >>> cu, >>> >>> thomas >>> >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> Xen-users mailing list >>>> Xen-users@lists.xensource.com >>>> http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >> >> >> Why not?
