Re: [Xen-users] When to use XenServer vs. XCP

[James Troup <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I don't use XenServer or XenCenter so I cannot tell you much about the "whats" & "howtos" you will need to check out the citrix forums for that.

This mail list is support for the community Xen, XCP & XCI
So I don't think you will get much of a response on questions of XenServer or XenCenter.

Best of Luck.

Just come back to XCP ;)
Newer kernel, more features, later Xen 3.4.2 not 3.3.X etc.
A few bugs...

When I added my XenServer to XenCenter, I get a message to activate a free 30 day trial.  How do I activate this 100% free license you mention?

Thanks

No XenCentre is free too.
There is also the http://www.openxencenter.com/ project which is working on a linux clone.
It is quite usable. But you will not get away with no knowledge of xe using OCX.

XenCenter GUI that comes with XenServer does not work with XCP, it does version checking.

It seems the fancy gui in XenServer is not free, that Essentials is required to use XenCenter?

I'm just getting into Xen, being somewhat familiar with VMWare.  What is unclear to me, if Citrix XenServer is free, what advantage is there to use XCP?  If Xen is now a Citrix technology, why does it seem there are separate threads of product development, xen.org vs. citrix.com?

XCP is community, Xenserver is commercial. You get the latest bleeding edge stuff in XCP, you get Stability and the fancy gui in Xenserver.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."
Now they have two problems.
