Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue
Vadium, After installing XS62ESP1028 via CLI (no reboot on hosts yet) and building an Centos65 instance w/o ‘Dynamic Scalable’ option checked, it showed right in XenCenter. I installed the new tools from (XS62ESP1028) and still good. I created a template from this instance. Deployed said template, and the memory is still good in XenCenter. I tested on a Windows VM and it is the same with the new tools, however, as this particular tenant bypasses the virtual router, I have to reboot twice and reset networking as the new XenTools reset the networking stack.

Re: Dynamic Scalable Template issue
Ok. After rebooting the instance still no change after disabling globally. I modified all my templates to remove ‘Dynamic Scalable’, then I have to shutdown every instance and unselect ‘Dynamic Scalable’, then restart for it to be correct. This may need to be looked at closer for a Windows/XenDesktop(XenApp) environment as MS SQL will consume all the RAM windows sees. My other question is why CCP 4.3 (which is certified for Citrix Ready for IaaS for XD) didn’t have this issue until I upgraded to 4.3.0.2 in July. This feature was released in 4.2…..

Re: [DISCUSS] extending the libvirt/KVM plugin to also support libvirt/Xen
to maximise the chance that adding a feature for “Xen” causes it to work for “KVM” and vice-versa. In particular this means that, if a genuinely-useful capability is currently missing from the libvirt libxl driver, I want to implement it rather than work around it. Seems like a great route to me! You also want to support Xen+Qemu with this way? Yes, it should be possible to run fully virtualised VMs with Xen + Qemu. I think we’ll be able to choose whether to run VMs as PV or HVM. Ok, but those will be different code paths at some level. We have to be aware that there might be some storage differences between KVM and Xen like Ceph which is not fully supported yet by Xen. Ceph is an interesting one. Xen itself doesn’t know anything about storage— instead the dom0 takes care of it either via a kernel driver (blkback) or userspace program (qemu or tapdisk). When I tried to make Ceph work about a year ago[1] I hit a bug in libxl (the Xen control library). The good news is the fix made it into Xen 4.4, so with luck we can get it to work. When Xen runs with Qemu as full HVM it's Qemu which takes care of the Ceph storage, so in that case it's fixed. I haven't got a lot of experience with PV Xen. I heard stories of Ceph being integrated in blktap(2), but never tested it. If anything is missing in libvirt or the Java bindings we have to fix that indeed instead of hacking around it. Great :) Cheers, Dave [1] http://xenserver.org/discuss-virtualization/virtualization-blog/entry/tech-preview-of-xenserver-libvirt-ceph.html Wido Comments appreciated!

Re: [DISCUSS] Increasing VM IOPS by separating golden image in high IOPS partition in Xen Server ?
Sorry, thought you were based off the link you provided in this reply. In our case, we are using CloudStack integrated in VDI solution to provived pooled VM type[1]. So may be my approach can bring better UX for user with lower bootime ... A short change in design are followings - VM will be deployed with golden primary storage if primary storage is marked golden and this VM template is also marked as golden. - Choosing the best deploy destionation for both golden primary storage and normal root volume primary storage. Chosen host can also access both storage pools. - New Xen Server plug-in for modifying VHD parent id. Is there some place for me to submit my design and code. Can I write a new proposal in CS wiki ?

In our case, we are using CloudStack integrated in VDI solution to provived pooled VM type[1]. So may be my approach can bring better UX for user with lower bootime ... A short change in design are followings - VM will be deployed with golden primary storage if primary storage is marked golden and this VM template is also marked as golden. - Choosing the best deploy destionation for both golden primary storage and normal root volume primary storage. Chosen host can also access both storage pools. - New Xen Server plug-in for modifying VHD parent id. Is there some place for me to submit my design and code. Can I write a new proposal in CS wiki ?

Re: Citrix CloudPlatform Source Code
You can still get CCP 3.0.5 from Citrix downloads. On Wednesday, September 4, 2013, Musayev, Ilya wrote: Would anyone know if Citrix CloudPlatform Source Code, specifically version 3.0.5 is out on the open? What would be the closest match in Apache CloudStack and are there major differences? We've developed a feature for CCP 3.0.5 and used ACS 4.0.0 as code based. Since we are touching few files, we were under impression we can repackage the jars with classes that we've modified. This approach is not exactly smooth, and we have some issues integrating the code. Thanks for the feedback, Regards ilya
Re: CloudStack distros
Not that I am aware of. Also I believe once ACS 4.2 is released, ACS and CCP will be the same code base. I could be wrong.

I manage a flavor of CloudStack called CloudSand, but its only to bring most needed features from dev branch into a stable release - with ability to upgrade to next stable ACS release that has these features. So its not a completely new spin, just something to help with CloudStack adoption process. -Original Message- From: Todd Pigram [mailto:t...@toddpigram.com javascript:;] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 2:54 PM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org javascript:; Subject: Re: CloudStack distros Not that I am aware of.
