One use case is providing metadata to an instance before that instance starts
their network stack. A bit of an edge case, but I guess one instance of this
use case is the network injection logic used for Flat networking.
Would injected files cover the above case? Would it still work after the

We have recently updated the XenServer/XCP code so the storage is configurable,
if you want a pattern to copy.

If I remember correctly, they assumed standalone ESX hosts with local storage,
so never got around to
Hi,
Are there people keen for a UK based OpenStack group?
I noticed these:

But doesn't seems to have been much happening yet.

Hi,
Sorry I missed this, I am still behind on my email.
In the current model every XCP node gets a VM with nova-compute running on it,
and it must be a linux PV VM.
That node does several management tasks. For example, with raw images, it will
stream the image into a VDI attached to that VM. I
Sorry for the late response.
What you really want to do is export the OVF through XenCenter, inside there
you will find the VHD file, which is what you really want to be uploading to
Glance (I think there are instructions there for VHD files).
Mate has a nice blog post on quicker ways to extrac
Cinder is the way forward to look at exposing multiple volume types.
The Cinder guys should be able to help you with how to get that working:

XCP NFS support should be in there soon too:

Sounds like a bug worth reporting.
What flavor where you selecting, and what image were you using?
There is some code in XenAPI driver that tries to resize the partition of the
disk, and the file system on it, if I remember correctly. Can you see that in
the logs? Maybe it fails because your im
My bad, I noticed you have some IBM arrays. What SR type are you using to
connect to those?
I think Cinder has some code of some IBM arrays. If that connects with iSCSI,
it should work with XCP.

DevStack is able to automate this whole process for you, if you follow the
XenServer Readme:

It basically installs all the plugins, and creates the VM that runs the nova
services for you. Understanding the networking can be

There are some example nova.conf files here that may help:

Those agents use the Xen/XenAPI specific stuff called xenstore.

kind of password generation on boot or at a poll interval, but I don't remember

Hi,
Not quick sure which "name" of the instance you are refereeing to.
Do you mean when you open XenCenter it shows you a different name?
Thanks,

One more thing I spotted around links.

The idea I like is to unify the migrate and live-migrate APIs. Currently the
migrate is scheduled and live-migrate is direct to the host.
A single migrate call could be scheduled by default, accepting hints for a
specific host or zone, with the option to be live or not-live and with or

Just to clarify, I don't think those flags are need for the
XCP/XenServer block migration, it goes straight to the chosen SR on
the destination.
I would agree, there probably should be a block migration section under KVM too.
