Re: [Xen-API] XCP 1.1 xs-tools Version Override Problem
Surely the best solution is for the respective devs to try to ensure the XCP 1.5 release is fully compatible with XenCenter 6 and provides the correct XAPI and xs-tools versions out of the box?

I was thinking the same. Maybe if we could create a file similar to xapi_version_override for guest utilities...On Sat, Oct 22, 2011 at 1:42 PM, <brooks@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
The version override feature allows XenCenter to function nicely with XCP.1.x. Unfortunately xs-tools doesn't share the love. XCP 1.1 includes xs-tools-1.1 but thats not the version XCP expects when masquerading as XenServer 5.6 fp1/sp2. It expects xs-tools-5.x and it's unhappy about the version mismatch. It's so unhappy that it's preventing live migrations:
VM = CentOS 6 x86_64 PV with:
- xe-guest-utilities-1.1.0-651.x86_64.rpm
- xe-guest-utilities-xenstore-1.1.0-651.x86_64.rpm
installed from xs-tools-1.1.0.iso
[root@xenc2n1 ~]# xe vm-migrate vm=2b038b1d-62bc-b4de-68c2-8ef1cfa8f9d3 live=true host-uuid=2394d5b3-5b47-4a9b-9493-678120d7a576
You attempted an operation on a VM which requires a more recent version of the PV drivers. Please upgrade your PV drivers.
vm: 2b038b1d-62bc-b4de-68c2-8ef1cfa8f9d3 (i-3-12-VM)
I don't suppose there's an xs-tools version override hack we can apply :-).
I found this work item under XCP 1.1 on the wiki XCP Roadmap page:
23 Jun 11 | Mike McClurg | Remove PV-driver migration checks for PV
domains; check for presence in HVM domains
I suspect that didn't get done, or isn't working. What functions do the xe-guest-utilities provide? Without them installed you don't see any memory statistics under the "Performance" tab, but are they really needed for PV based VMs?
What we need is XCP support in XenCenter instead of a patch to XCP to make it appear as something it's not. Even though XenCenter is a Windows application it's the best configuration, management, and monitoring application available for XenServer and XCP.
