+1 from me, it has features that users want, more specifacally arm support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to xen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218817 Title: [FFE] Update to Xen-4.3 in Saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/1218817/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1218817] Re: [FFE] Update to Xen-4.3 in Saucy
Since I have not heard anything back from Citrix, I did an attempt of checking myself and found that even without any update to Xen the xen- api/xcp state is ... highly improvable. The command-line examples in the README.Debian of xcp-xapi more or less work (with the caveat that you have to leave network config to xcp and that fails to send the hostname with dhcp which then makes networking in a pain in the bum, but that is probably another story). A more grave problem is that the xen command (which is a wrapper that is supposed to automatically use the right xm/xl toolstack) in not handling xapi as a toolstack and seems to cause the xapi daemon to loose its mind (until restarting). And unfortunately the xendomains startup script uses xen list. Again that is broken right now without any updates. Openxenmanager is supposed to be a graphical frontend to control a host running the xapi stack but right now shows more python exceptions than anything else. Also without any changes to current Xen. That said with replacing xen to 4.3 and using the updated xen-api from my PPA I managed to get a PVM guest up. That still seems to use blktap devices, so not having support compiled into libxenlight does not seem to matter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to xen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218817 Title: [FFE] Update to Xen-4.3 in Saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/1218817/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1218817] Re: [FFE] Update to Xen-4.3 in Saucy
I uploaded and build the new Xen package in my PPA (ppa:smb/xen): https://launchpad.net/~smb/+archive/xen/+build/4880118/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-saucy-amd64.xen_4.3.0-0ubuntu3_UPLOADING.txt.gz https://launchpad.net/~smb/+archive/xen/+build/4880119/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-saucy-i386.xen_4.3.0-0ubuntu3_UPLOADING.txt.gz Testing done: - Install and use the new packages from the PPA in Saucy (one Intel and one AMD based host) - On each host - Create and use HVM guests locally with xm/xl commands. - Create and use HVM guests through libvirt (xm and xl stack) - For xl stack using qemu-xen-traditional and qemu-xen (actually qemu-system-i386) - Create and use PVM guests from clould-images locally with xm/xl commands. [Note: PVM domains are not working through libvirt with the current and all previous releases.] ** Description changed: Xen-4.3 released in July and beside the new features and improvements described in [1] the packaging has been improved to: - continue to support qemu-dm (also called qemu-xen-traditional) - automatically migrate xm/xend persistent domains to use the current 4.3 - - export libxenlight properly into libxen-dev (required to get libvirt libxl support) + - export libxenlight properly into libxen-dev (required to get libvirt libxl + support) + - Depend on qemu to use upstream qemu in qemu-xen mode - add support to compile on armhf Since this new release also marks a bigger change as 32bit hypervisors are no longer supported and the old xm/xend stack now being officially deprecated for the second release [2] (making a complete removal expected sooner than later), it is important to get this into Saucy to allow this to settle before the next LTS. Also the Arm support might be quite important.

Several bugfixes were required in virt-install, libvirt and qemu and already have been uploaded to Saucy and submitted upstream when appropriate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to xen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218817 Title: [FFE] Update to Xen-4.3 in Saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/1218817/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
