I would like to install XCP. So I started at
http://www.xen.org/products/index.html
and found the section labeled
''Xen Cloud Platform Project''
This section was a nice overview but no
links to docs or downloads.
The next section was labeled ''USERS''
which had a download link to
''Xen Cloud Platform 1.5 Beta Download''
This has an ''Installable Image''
and ''source files''.
Neither referenced any documentation.
** I would really like to find documentation.
Next, a section labeled ''DEVELOPER ''
All the Xen versions were 3.4.
The lead page to this said it would use 4.1.
** So, what am I missing here?
In another search for documentation, I found:
Xen Cloud Platform Installation Guide
Release 0.1
Published October 2009
0.1 Edition
This was on http://xen.org/files/XenCloud/installation.pdf
** This documentation is three years old.
Is this still valid?
Valid mostly?
Is there a newer version?
I jump in deep water often. But I like to plan.
Here, accurate documentation would be great for a plan.
I will appreciate all help and suggestions.

The install is similar to an install of a Linux distro. Thanks, Todd -- Todd, Thank you. Valid enough has value especially for professionals. My concern is that the new install will have configuration options that were not available 3 years ago. I am trying to hedge my lack of experience with Linux by finding documentation that will support my understanding of the configuration options. Is there documentation that will help my understanding the XCP options, and for that matter Linux and Xen options? I have read two books on Xen, 2 and 3 years old. None of these address XCP. I am hoping for something that will help me understand how to configure. As a secondary note, the 3 year old ''Xen Cloud Platform Installation Guide'', says that XCP should be the only OS - no multi-boot. Is there a fundamental purpose for this or is it an artifact of a particular installation process? ray
Your best bet is to look at the latest documentation on Citrix XenServer. It is pretty much the same deal.
