[Xen-users] Why is XenCenter telling me to register my XCP box?
I think the title says it all :) I got far enough along in the Xen documentation that the documentation recommended me to start using XenCenter to manage the server. Why am I being asked by XenCenter to register my XCP 1.0 server? I know it''s similar, but it''s not a Citrix XenServer... ;)>From what I can gather, XCP is open source freeware...correct me if I''m wrong.Thanks! _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

RE: [Xen-users] Why is XenCenter telling me to register my XCP box?
Thanks for the response!
Okay, so I downloaded it, plus gtk+ for windows plus python 2.7 (32-bit version)
for windows, now when I try to run it, (using the windows command line), I get
this:
C:\OpenXenManager\openxenmanager>c:\Python27\Python.exe window.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "window.py", line 54, in <module>
import win32gui
ImportError: No module named win32gui
C:\OpenXenManager\openxenmanager>
The rather simplistic readme says:
"You need pygtk
You need ubuntu jaunty or debian unstable (glade 3.6 and libgtk 2.16)
You need python-gtk-vnc
Install rrdtool for graphs
To launch openxenmanager:
python window.py"
The one missing dependency I can spot is python-gtk-vnc (which doesn''t
seem to exist in the windows world).
However, python seems to blow up when asked to import win32gui... :) (Smiling
because it''s running in Windows already!).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yes, xcp is opensource and free, but citrix xencenter gui tool is not.
Try openxenmanager.

Thanks, got that (the xenmanager xva) working...but it does seem a little wasteful (resource wise) to dedicate one VM to managing the other VM''s.

RE: [Xen-users] Why is XenCenter telling me to register my XCP box?
I actually resolved the Win32gui issue (it was related to another library required for python-Win32gui). Once I resolved that, openxenmanager works (for a few minutes). It seems to hang once a VNC session has been opened (sometimes before). I noticed that the openxenmanager distro includes a windows VNC exe file. The thing I really need something for, rather than being able to open a remote terminal session into my VM''s, is managing the VM''s themselves on DOM0 (which is, unfortunately, absent from xenmanager xva). Xenwebmanager xva is a cool idea, though. What would be really, really cool is if it was #1) self-contained in DOM0 and #2) available as a setup option on XCP and #3) the VM management tools from openxenmanager were added to it.

RE: [Xen-users] Why is XenCenter telling me to register my XCP box?
Placing a web management interface in the Dom0 is a bad idea. If there is ever a security issue with the web interface, the Dom0 would be vulnerable. Also, if the web tool started using a lot of CPU time (because of sloppy code or a DoS attack), then the Dom0 would get slowed down enough to reduce the performance of all of the DomU. For best results, let the Dom0 simply do Dom0 related tasks. Don''t put web interfaces or other services into the Dom0. It is not worth the risk. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Brent Boswell Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 1:05 PM To: Todd Deshane Cc: xen-users@lists.xensource.com; Pasi Kärkkäinen; openxenmanager-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Why is XenCenter telling me to register my XCP box?
