Hi Rafael. That's certainly a clever way of getting it to work, however if you were to put the Host into maintenance mode, or reboot it, all the VMS would stop and you would have no way of restarting them.
The original poster is new to CloudStack and needs to learn how it works. I don't think we should encourage the use of complex 'hacked' deployments which could give them problems in the event the Host is restarted etc. Regards Geoff Higginbottom CTO / Cloud Architect D: +44 20 3603 0542<tel:+442036030542> | S: +44 20 3603 0540<tel:+442036030540> | M: +447968161581<tel:+447968161581> geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com<mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com> | www.shapeblue.com<htp://www.shapeblue.com/> | Twitter:@cloudstackguru<https://twitter.com/#!/cloudstackguru> ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS<x-apple-data-detectors://5> On 2 Nov 2014, at 12:28, Rafael Weingartner <rafaelweingart...@gmail.com<mailto:rafaelweingart...@gmail.com>> wrote: Actually, you can have CS running on a Xen server host that it is running; however it is a little bit tricky, because when you add a xen server, the CS does not load any VM configuration that it already has running. I did that myself in the Cloud that we have in our networking and management lab. I first installed CS in a temp machine and added the hosts I wanted to manage to CS. Then, I created 4 instances (you most certainly do not need that much) one for the CS-database, CS1 and CS2 and an Apache Webserver working as a load balancer. After that, I stopped the CS that was in the temp machine, migrated the database for the cs-database VM, configured CS1 and CS2 to use that database that is in the VM. Configured the Apache web server, and that is it. You now have a CS environment that runs on physical machines and VMs that it manages.

It works for KVM because CloudStack and KVM are running as services on CentOS, CloudStack is not running as a VM on KVM. You do have a couple of options however: Install Virtualbox and then create a VM for CloudStack and a separate VM for XenServer - take a look at this recent presentation I have at the European User Group http://www.slideshare.net/ShapeBlue/building-virtualised-cloudstack-test-environments This is really aimed at testing on a Laptop, if you have a physical box a better option is to install the free version of ESXi then add a CentOS VM for CloudStack and a XenServer VM as your Hypervisor. If you configure ESXi for nested virtualisation your XenServer will support HVM VMs, unlike on Virtualbox which will only support PV VMs Regards Geoff Higginbottom CTO / Cloud Architect D: +44 20 3603 0542<tel:+442036030542> | S: +44 20 3603 0540<tel: +442036030540> | M: +447968161581<tel:+447968161581> geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com<mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com><mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com> | www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com><htp://www.shapeblue.com/> | Twitter:@cloudstackguru< https://twitter.com/#!/cloudstackguru> ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS<x-apple-data-detectors://5> On 2 Nov 2014, at 04:14, "matthiasmuelle...@web.de<mailto:matthiasmuelle...@web.de><mailto: matthiasmuelle...@web.de<mailto:matthiasmuelle...@web.de>>" <matthiasmuelle...@web.de<mailto:matthiasmuelle...@web.de><mailto: matthiasmuelle...@web.de<mailto:matthiasmuelle...@web.de>>> wrote: Hello, is there any way to install the CloudStack management server as VM on XenServer 6.2.0 which will also added as host for instances? It is possible to install it on CentOS host with KVM but I do not find any information regarding XenServer VM. In the documentation it is stated, that there should be no running VM on XenServer but I am not sure, if there is no possibility. I evaluate to create an environment with a single server in the first step.
