The operation it's trying to perform is high up your callstack, at vmops.py line 826. It's deciding whether to do a VDI.resize or a VDI.resize_online, based on the host version number. This is because the VDI.resize_online feature was removed in XenServer 6.0. How is XCP advertising itself

I think that people are scared of the rootkit-like behavior of an arbitrary file injection mechanism. Compromise nova-compute, and now you can trivially compromise every guest in the whole cloud. In some sense that's irrational - I'm sure that there are lots of ways that you can gain control

[Openstack] --network vs --fixed_range in nova-manage

2012-01-10 Thread Ewan Mellor
In nova-manage, we have a 'network modify' command that takes --network but 'network delete' takes --fixed_range. The flag was renamed (some while ago) for the 'network delete' case. Was it intentional to leave the 'network modify' case alone? That appears inconsistent. Thanks, Ewan.
