This is a work in progress still: http://etherpad.openstack.org/openstack-xen I still need to test and make reference to the RPM that includes the xapi plugins that get installed on the XCP/XenServer dom0. http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/openstack/openstack-xen-plugins/ Lots of other details to include as well. Including your question below. > Also, can you confirm whether a service VM (nova-compute domU) > is actually required, *per* Xenserver instance, regardless of pool > configuration? OpenStack is not yet aware of XCP/XenServer pools yet, so you will need a compute node per XenServer/XCP instance. The code is moving fast though (both from the XenAPI/XCP/XenServer side and the OpenStack side), so be sure to check on the current status. As for the best way to go in general, I'd say to work with the Diablo code and the newest available version of XCP/XenServer. The problem with the XenSeverDevelopment wiki page is that it is meant for developers and pulls from trunk. While this works fine it can tend to be a bit unstable. The concepts from it will apply to a Diablo release of OpenStack fine. And although untested the xapi RPM referenced above will save you from having to get a copy of trunk and manually copy in the plugins. It is high priority for me to finish this documentation and testing before the summit. Until then, do not hesitate to reach out to me and the list with questions.
