CloudStack XenServer Support Package for Xenserver 6.1

Hi All,
Just wondering whether Cloudstack support package for Xenserver 6.1 is available or not. The cloudstack doc talks about XenServer 6.0.2, XenServer 5.6 SP2 and XenServer 6.0 only.



Installing the CSP of Xenserver 6.0 on Xenserver 6.1 is advisable. ? Does it work Xenserver 6.1 as well ?


Please suggest.


Thanks and Regards
Karthik Kothuri

Hi,

CSP package is built in with Xen 6.1.  These details are missing in the document. Please file a doc ticket. 

Please follow the additional instructions to configure : 

===========================================================
If you are using XenServer 6.1, perform the following:

a. Run the following commands:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-arptables

b. To persist the above changes across reboots, set the following values in the /etc/sysctl.conf file. Run the following command:

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

Set these to 1:

net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 1

The XenServer host is now ready to be added to CloudStack. 

===========================================================

Thanks,
Sailaja.M

There are a number of folks who are running XCP with CloudStack.

Not really - essentially it's taking the running QCOW2 or VHD and
importing it as a template into CloudStack and then deploying that as
a VM - not terribly clean or efficient, but it works.

Does CS support Xen XCP?

Posted by Jason Pavao <ja...@oracle.com>.
I'm not seeing it mentioned in the docs.. Does anyone know and/or have 
experience running CS (4.0.1/4.0.2/4.1) with Xen XCP?

Also- If I have existing vms running on KVM or Xen hv's- is there an 
easy way to pull those existing inventories under CS for management? If 
there is a script/particular way to do so, please let me know.

Any advice/insight would be immensely appreciated!

Thanks.

Related JIRA ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2702

Looks like my methods are agreed except for the "sysctl -p
/etc/sysctl.conf" command.

Hi Karthik,


In case of XS 6.1, CSP functionality is already present in XS. There is no
need for any extra package installation.

Below are the steps to enable CSP functionality on XenServer 6.1

Thanks,
