RE: [Xen-users] XCP releases

[Dave Scott <Dave.Scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally I usually use PXE + an answerfile to automate the upgrade process but I agree it’s not as convenient as it could be. One possibility is to make a VM appliance with a PXE server in it: download the new .iso, attach it to the appliance, set your (other!) host to PXE boot and then go. It’s not much good if you only have one host though J

 

Cheers,

Dave

Hi,

 

I think the current code in the repos is pretty stable so it would probably make sense to create a ‘stable’ branch soon.

 

Next in the ‘unstable’ branch we could start doing the fun stuff like Xen 4.0 J As a first step I think Vincent sent an email (to xen-devel IIRC) with URLs to repos where he’s made at least some of the code compile with xen-unstable. I think we could take those patches and build upon them. I’d also like to regularly update the binary snapshot so it’s easier to install the latest, greatest ‘bleeding-edge’ version J

 

Cheers,

Dave

That includes Xen 4.0? :-)

 

TEAM:

 

I believe that XCP will be moving to Xen 4.0 shortly; at Xen Summit in two weeks Jonathan Ludlam will be presenting the roadmap  and plan for XCP moving forward. I anticipate that he will give some dates as to when we can expect Xen 4.0 in XCP. In the meantime, I will watch the boards like you to see if Jonathan or Dave Scott post any new information.

 

Thanks.

It would make sense considering the purpose of XCP but I'm time is an issue. We want the bleeding edge but by sacrificing too much stability. With Xen 4.0, maturing of OpenXenCenter and a few other things we're going to be in good shape.
