[Xen-users] RE: [XCP]: RC1 of XCP 0.5 available for testing

[Dave Scott <Dave.Scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

The second release candidate of the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) version 0.5 is now 
available for testing from:

http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_source_0.5.html

The changes since the RC1 are:

* VCPU weight/cap/affinity are now preserved over VM migrate, resume
* CLI command 'xe get-vms-which-prevent-evacuation' now follows the usual CLI 
pattern and '--minimal' works as expected
* Failure to manually change the pool master when there is a large amount of 
RRD data has been fixed[1]
* pygrub now supports ext4 filesystems
... leading to ...
* experimental support for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04[2]

Please download and test! :)

[1] if there are a large number of RRD datasources (eg corresponding to a large 
number of VLANs) then the RRD XML becomes large and serializing it will fail. 
This failure nolonger causes the pool master transition to fail but it does 
prevent the XML being saved to disk. Hopefully this will be fixed in the 
unstable branch for the next release.

[2] thanks to Alex Zeffertt, David Markey and Ian Campbell for sorting this 
out. Note that you should select the network install option if you are using a 
console like OpenXenManager.

Cheers,
Dave
