Hi,

We are new to Xen (coming from vSphere), and testing XCP 0.5 (and XenServer).
We plan to use 1 pif for XCP access to our admin network and 2 other pifs (10 Gb) in bonding, with vlans on the bonding, to provide XCP access to our storage network, and VMs access to our various networks.

I'm trying to get the most out of the XCP/XenServer admin docs, but I have some questions:
- is it necessary to understand/use the Open vSwitch commands, or can you do everything with the xe command ?

- is it possible to properly deconfigure the network configuration, going back to the original state (with only an admin network), without reinstalling XCP ? When I tried with the various "xe network-destroy", "xe bond-destroy", xe pif-unplug", "xe pif-forget" ... I had errors that there were still pifs on the network when destroying networks, and I had errors that there were still networks on them when destroying pifs, like a dependency circle. Or maybe I forgot to use the vlan commands, but I have reinstalled since then. I haven't found a command to pretty print the various network dependencies so I could reverse-walk them :(

- do you use a GUI to set up XCP networking, if so which one ? (I succeeded with XenServer/XenCenter, but not with OpenXenCenter - maybe I didn't try hard enough)

Regards,

David
