[Xen-API] vhdx support ?

2012-06-01 Thread Sébastien Riccio
Hi, I don't know where this question should be posted, but I'll try here. Is there any plan for XenServer/XCP/Kronos to support the vhdx format that should get rid of the 2tb limit for a single volume ? As seen somewhere on the interweb: Now with VHDX Microsoft kills this limitations and bri

Andrew, So, I'm going to get off topic (maybe, arguably, it's still within topic). Looking at the CloudStack website, they said the software is to manage a large number of virtual machines (VMs) as a cloud computing platform. What precisely does it help you manage? For example, I've been trying

Don't know if this is still actual. If migration hangs (and source host reboots) target host will stay with paused domain preventing VM to be restarted. it looks like: root 13714 0.0 0.0 3516 980 ?Ss 22:55 0:00 /opt/xensource/libexec/xenguest -controloutfd 6 -controlinf

I have done quite a lot of work recently getting DevStack working well with XenServer (and XCP). So you should find that a lot easier now. There are a few patches of mine still pending, but they should hit trunk and stable/essex in the not too distant future. The key issue usually understanding

Agreed. CloudStack was by far easier to get setup and has a very mature installation guide as well as admin guide. There are a few things you have to keep in mind when setting up Cloudstack 3.0 with XCP 1.5. 1. You have to rename or copy /etc/xensource/installed-repos/xcp:main to /etc/xensou

Hey guys, I'm just a user of XCP who has played with all of these, so I don't consider myself an expert, keep that in mind: I've attempted to integrate all three of those with XCP at various times, basically I found that OpenStack will eventually work and is a very active project, but is so activ

I'm interested in the answers to these questions too. In particular, I'd like to see some tutorials for integrating CloudStack or OpenStack with XCP. I've read a lot of documentations online that these third party management tools can integrate with XCP, but I haven't really seen any good tutorials
