XenServer 7

Is anyone here working on XenServer 7 support for CloudStack?


Kind regards,

Re: XenServer 7

Posted by John Burwell <jo...@shapeblue.com>.
All,

Has anyone had a chance to try XenServer 7 since it’s release?  If so, does it work?  If not, how broken is it?  My guess would be in agreement with the general consensus that a change from CentOS 5 to 7 would not only be breaking, but significant.

Thanks,
-John

Correct, all modern XenServer distros until 7 were centos 5.x. I doubt any
xapi changes would break cloudstack, but the plugins should be retested,
and btw it's also systemd time

Posted by Syed Mushtaq <sy...@gmail.com>.
I had installed Xenserver 7 when it was still in beta. If I remember
correctly, it has a different python version than 6.5 (2.4 in 6.5 and 2.6
in 7). Some scripts had been modified to run on python 2.4 may break with
XS7. Will have to verify this.

Oh, I did know that, thanks for sharing Will.

I was reading their Release notes; it seems that their “major changes”
section does not reflect the experience you are getting.

CentOS changes a LOT, especially around networking, so I would not be
surprised if it does not work. It still takes me like 20 minutes to figure
out what the hell I am doing when I login to CentOS7.  No ifconfig, no
iptables, etc, etc, etc...  They pretty much did a wholesale change of
everything you expect to be there.

Lots of testing will have to be done on this and I have not tried to do
that yet...

Re: XenServer 7

Posted by Rafael Weingärtner <ra...@gmail.com>.
Considering those scripts you are right; but, my main concerns would be
regarding some XAPI change. The scripts that we create and inject into the
Dom0 should not be that intrusive.

I do not know about the differences between CentOS 6 and 7, but the only
way I see a script stopping working is that if a program that the script
uses does not come with the CentOS 7 that is bundled with XenServer or if
that program does not work with CentOS 7 anymore.
I do not recall every single task that those scripts execute, at the top of
my memory I can say that they play with the systems' firewall. They also
mount, copy, and move some files around. I believe they also remove some
configurations from the XAPI sometimes.

Looking at the release notes in [1], it seems that none of the scripts
should stop working. However, to be sure about every single function and
task that ACS execute on XenServer a batch of tests would be required.

Rafael 

We don’t purely use XAPI with XenServer.
XenServer 7 has a CentOS7 dom0 rather than CentOS6.  We do a whole load of stuff behind the scenes with python and shell scripts a chunk of which won't work anymore.

Re: XenServer 7

Posted by Syed Ahmed <sa...@cloudops.com>.
Hi Raja,

Can we get an answer to this? I have done some XenServer refactoring which
I wish to push upstream but if XenServer 7 integration is being pushed. I'd
like to sit on my changes in favour of getting better support for
XenServer.

For clarity, is the correct to assume that you'll upstream this to ACS?

Primarily we're awaiting thin provisioning of fiber channel SAN disks.

Hope to see it in the next release :-)

Hi Erik

BVT – build verification tests or smoke tests are the test automation scripts we have in cloudstack repo.
We will run these tests first and see if anything is broken.  For any failures, we will create bugs.
IMO, since 4.9 is out, the next version should have the support for XS 7.0.  
Are you look at anything specific feature/functionality in XS 7.0?  can you share what it is ?

Does it mean that you have already done some fixing to get it to work and
will start testing it?
Or that you plan on testing it now, to figure out what needs fixing?
Or something else?

I'm trying to figure out when I can expect to use ACS (or a commercial
distribution) with XS7

Would you mind elaborating a bit what that means?

Does it mean that you have already done some fixing to get it to work and
will start testing it?
Or that you plan on testing it now, to figure out what needs fixing?
Or something else?
