[Xen-API] RE: XCP Management Tools Inquiry

["Nakajima, Jun" <jun.nakajima@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Steve.

 

I checked Xen Cloud Control System, but it’s not on line? I’m not sure if Xen Orchestra Project uses XAPI; I’m negative as far as I looked the code.

 

The CloudStack Community Edition looks good (http://open.cloud.com), although it supports only libvirt as far as I understand. Since they support XenServer 5.6 in the Enterprise Edition, I think they can add XAPI support somehow.

 

Even if XenCenter runs only on Windows, I think it should be useful if it can connect to XCP; it’s much easier to install from my experience.  All the other ones assume particular distro of Linux, and they typically require many things to install.

Subject: [Xen-API] XCP Management Tools Inquiry

 

XCP Users:

 

As many of you are aware, there are several open source products available for everyone to use when working with XCP. I would like to get some feedback on the various tools to get a feeling on how people are using XCP and these tools.

 

Here are the tools that I am aware of (please respond if you are using another tool):

 

·         OpenXenManager – www.openxenmanager.com

·         Xen Orchestra Project – http://xen-orchestra.com

·         Xen VNC Proxy – www.xvpsource.org

·         Xen Cloud Control System -  www.xencloudcontrol.com

·         Convirture – www.convirture.com (not sure if they enabled XCP APIs or not)

 

Finally, in the XCP meeting yesterday, it came up that XenCenter from Citrix should also be allowed to connect to XCP as it does not now. XenCenter only runs on a Windows machine and there is no plan to port to Linux so it is unclear how many XCP users would leverage this tool. I would like to gauge community thoughts on this as well.

 

Thanks.
