RE: Is Cloudstack 4.1.0 ready to be used with Xenserver 6.2
I know Paul Angus from ShapeBlue has already stood up a CloudStack 4.2 with XenServer 6.2 environment, however CloudStack 4.1 does not officially support 4.1 so it will prevent you adding a 6.2 Host unless you modify the code

If you eventually intend using opensource XenServer 6.2 (a good choice) then you can deploy the free version of XenServer 6.1 for now, then either upgrade it to 6.2 or if this is not possible (I hope it will be) do a rolling upgrade of your Hosts to 6.2 once it is available.
You only need to the free version of XenServer 6.1 as features which the advanced version provides such as HA are actually provided by CloudStack.
When choosing a Hypervisor, how you are going to support it always an important consideration. Even when you adopt opensource XenServer, you may decide you want to buy a Citrix Support package for it. The Hypervisors are a critical part of your infrastructure, and ensuring you have the right skills in house, or a support contract to fall back is always a good idea.

Thanks for the info Ram. Can you please suggest any opensource hyper-visor platform which can be used with cloudstack 4.1 (vSphere and Xenserver earlier versions are commercial I believe). Though KVM can be used but it is a para-virtualization package and not a bare metal hypervisor.

I know Paul Angus from ShapeBlue has already stood up a CloudStack 4.2 with XenServer 6.2 environment, however CloudStack 4.1 does not officially support XenServer 6.2 so it will prevent you adding a 6.2 Host unless you modify the code
