Re: [Xen-API] Re: [Xen-users] XCP and XenCenter

[Lars Seeliger <meesterlars@xxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate you getting back to me, Todd.

Right now XenCenter integration is severely limited, feature-wise. I sincerely hope improvements are made soon, or a workaround such as that alluded to by Tomoiaga is provided.

Thanks for your time. And for an otherwise incredible product.

Hi Lars,

I'm pretty sure the XenCenter compatibility is in the works. We might
not have all the kinks out by 1.0, but Jon should be able to confirm.

Also, I don't see where the IRC logs are stored either. I asked in the
#xen-api channel and will reply back if I hear anything.

We are in the process of documenting differences between XCP and XenServer here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XCP_Docs

Thanks for the feedback and if I hear any news I'll write back either
directly to you or this thread.

Thanks,
Todd
