Xen users - Sep 2011 - FreeBSD 8.2 XENHVM Kernel on Xencloud

Good afternoon,

The subject practically is saying what I''m trying to ask but... does 
anyone tried FreeBSD 8.2 or similar under Cytrix Xenserver or XenCloud?. I 
have been doing some benchmarks and seems to perform pretty nice... and 
seems to be
stable too; the only thing would be nice to be available for FreeBSD at 
Xenserver/Xencloud would be the Xenserver/Xencloud''s Xentools; although
I
assume Xentools are basically for having info of the ip of the machine 
(hostname, if
the machine has been cloned...) and so... because I assume a xe migrate 
and so commands make use of lvm and so... for hot migrations and so... 
should work the same way although are not officially supported in the 
xenserver/xencloud
https api.

Has anyone ever had some experience with FreeBSD in this environments?. 
Which of them?, and which FreeBSD version?. The XenCloud version I tried 
is Xencloud 1.0, which makes use of :

Includes Xen hypervisor version 3.4.2
Includes Linux 2.6.32 privileged domain


Thank you very much.
Good bye!.

Our real worry about FreeBSD as HVM to be stable and the performance to be 
good at Xencloud/Xenserver not really to be able to suspend vm or similar...

As far as I know, Citrix offers their NetScaler appliance also as virtual
appliance for XenServer - NetScaler is based on FreeBSD and runs as hvm in
XenCenter. So one would assume, it should work somewhat. :)

Hi Zary,

I have been reading about this at NetScaler appliance overview... and
don''t seem to be freebsd hvm because
at Cytrix home you can read about this saying :

Minimum requirements per physical host for first VPX VM

Hypervisor 4, 5 	XenServer 5 Update 3 or later, VMWare ESX(i) 3.5 
or above, Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V role enabled
Processor 	Dual core, Intel VTx or AMD-v
Memory 	4 GB
Hard drive 	20 GB
Network interface 	Hypervisor supported network interface card

If it can run on HYPER-V it seems to be a Windows Virtual Machine???? Can 
cytrix have really made this???....
