Rafi: Thanks for the link, I looked at it earlier, from what I understand the wiki page assumes a Type 2 Hypervisor. My idea is to make Citrix Xenserver (Type 1 Hypervisor) as a nova-node. I spent sometime on this but was going no where. Installed gcc, g++, make etc to compile apt-get from source on Xenserver. Then ran into issues as apt-get expects some files which are missing in Xenserver.
Hope someone can shed some light, I see openstack claims support in Xenserver but is it on a standard Xenserver downloaded from Citrix or a custom built Xenserver?
