I agree. It would be fantastic if there was a DDK for XCP. That issue is annoying when trying to use the XenServer DDK with XCP. I've been trying to do some work with the OFED and XCP. It is bad enough that the OFED is not included in XCP in first place, but being forced to use the XenServer DDK instead of a XCP DDK is a bit much. I love XCP, but this is a bit silly.

Unfortunately the kernel name used for 5.6 SP2 isn't the same as for XCP 1.1 so I'm not going to be able to just install the new OVS 1.3 based kernel module into XCP, at least not cleanly. XenServer 5.6 SP2: /lib/modules/2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs5.6.100.327.170613xen/extra/openvswitch/openv switch_mod.ko XCP 1.1: /lib/modules/2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs1.1.0.327.170596xen/kernel/net/openvswitch/op envswitch_mod.ko Does anyone know the easiest path forward? My plan is to install the XCP kernel source into the 5.6 SP2 DDK VM, compile and install it and then recompile OVS 1.3. Does that sound reasonable? It's a bit crazy that we don't have a DDK VM for XCP. If there's a design or build doc somewhere someone could pass on to me I'd be happy to build the DDK VM and make it available to the community. Given the number of requests there seems to be a need.
