[Xen-users] [XCP] questions

[James Pifer <jep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking at XCP with interest. My environment right now is SLES10 and
SLES11 servers. I've always had issues with memory where the servers
stop responding after an undetermined amount of time even though xm info
says plenty of RAM is available. Sometimes xm itself hangs. Sometimes a
hard reboot is even required. It got better with SLES11 and xen 3.4.2
with ballooning disabled, but I don't think it's entirely gone.

I'm also interested in having some tools that make managing my domUs a
little bit easier. It would be nice to be able to safely give others
more access to administration as well. 

I looked at moving to XenServer a few months ago and even built a
XenServer, but it didn't appear to support ocfs2 which I use for my
shared storage. I could get probably get away from ocfs2, but it seems
to work well for me. I see that this is planned for XCP. The other issue
I had with XenServer was converting my 35-40 domU's over looked like it
would be a huge project by itself. 

My questions are:
Is anyone using XCP yet?

Any guesses on how long before it would be considered acceptable for
production use?

Any eta on ocfs2 support? It's currently listed at the bottom of the
Roadmap if that has any significance. 

Will I be able to easily move my file based domU's over to XCP?

Thanks,
James
