Ok.. so we are getting closer. We got KVM out of the way :)
I cant find the official yum/rpm repo for XE tools - if there is such - please let me know. I would like to make flexible - such that you are not bound to specific version as you rebuild each time. I did find something from GoDaddy, but I'm hoping for something more official. -----Original Message----- From: Edison Su [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 1:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: CloudStack System VMs - guest vm tools support for XEN and KVM > -----Original Message----- > From: Musayev, Ilya [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 9:37 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: CloudStack System VMs - guest vm tools support for XEN and > KVM > > Sorry to be an annoyance, but I need some feedback to make this > process better for everyone. > > I want the system-vm creation script to have an ability to specify > which vm- guest tools to use as an argument. > > As of now, you can execute the script with following arguments and VM > will be created with specific guest-vm-tools: > > [vmarelatest] - gets latest open source vmware tools - takes into > account all future releases, [Vmware5.1] - gets latest OS tools of 5.1 > branch and so on for [vmware5.0,4.1 and 4.0]. > > I need help with what XEN and KVM - as I've managed those HVs the least. > > I would assume since we are running CentOS 6.3+, KVM tools are built > into a kernel, but that's my assumption. > > Can someone briefly mention how they handle guest-vm-tools for XEN and > KVM and if there yum repos you know off I can source? For KVM, there is no vm guest tools. For xenserver, seems it needs xe-guest-utilities_5.6.0-595_i386.deb? > > Thanks > ilya
