Virtualizing Cloudstack Manager onto XenServer host

[David Ortiz]

Hello,
 I am setting up a small test cluster and decided to use XenServer this 
time with Cloudstack 4.2.0.  I would like to run the management server on the 
cluster, but since XenServer uses its own OS install rather than CentOS, I 
believe that means I cannot run the manager on it bare metal like I would for 
KVM.  Is it possible for me to create the management server on a VM which I 
then would use to connect to the cluster for cloudstack functionality?
Thanks,  David Ortiz

I would always advise having a standalone xenserver cluster for management 
purposes.  Typically consisting of 2 hosts to host the cloudstack 
management and database servers.
