Request for assistance with Xenserver
Hi folks,
Today I was checking a problem with XCP, and looking at the code to check
how ACS discovers the hypervisor version I had a doubt. Sadly, I did not
have in my hands an environment using Xensever. So, can some of you that
use Xenserver, run the following command and provide me with the output?
xe host-param-list uuid=<host UUID> | grep software-version
Thanks in advance

Now I got your point,
That is true; there has not been much evolution in ACS in respect to XCP. I
know that, the last commit in respect to XCP, was a bug that we (I and some
colleagues) fixed a while ago. Since, we are using it in our environment;
we are checking if everything is working properly with XCP in ACs and
starting to maintain it.
What you said is true, ACs also uses SSH and not just the API of XAPI, but
so far, everything is working as expected with XCP. The only problem is the
one I found yesterday. I just opened a Jira ticket because that is the
protocol; we are the ones that will fix that problem.

RE: Request for assistance with Xenserver
Posted by Paul Angus <pa...@shapeblue.com>.
Rafael,
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I meant XCP support in CloudStack not having been maintained for some time.
I have built Debian+Xen+XAPI for clients before, but the driver was staying open source; which became much simpler with the opensource XenServer.
The result of stopping that maintenance will be why you're now seeing your error. I fear that you'll find more issues once you get past your current issue. CloudStack doesn't only communicate with the hosts over XAPI, but SSH as well (see cloudstack/scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver for a number of scripts are copied over to hosts).

I know that XCP per se is not being maintained anymore, you can read about that here: http://www.xenproject.org/developers/teams/xapi.html
The XCP as an “OS” that would come with Xen hypervisor + XAPI on top of CentOS was discontinued. However, the XAPI project per se continues to be developed as it is the base for XenServer. What we do here is to build our own “XenServer”. Anyone, can do that, pick an OS, install Xen hypervisor and then XAPI.
All of CloudStack commands that I have seen and used until today are based on XAPI, therefore, there is no difference between using the XenServer or the one we have and that most people would normally call XCP.
Tim himself posted a question in the user list a while ago in which I explained that for him.

RE: Request for assistance with Xenserver
Posted by Paul Angus <pa...@shapeblue.com>.
Hi Rafael,
I'm pretty sure XCP has not been maintained since Citrix's XenServer was made fully opensource.
Tim Mackey from the Xen Project did a load of work so that the CloudStack code explicitly refers to XenServer to cover this; making way for Xen (as Xen+Libvirt) to be introduced - something that I was a big fan of. However I believe that the latter part of this project has stalled.

When I said pure Xen, I meant XCP. XCP can be seen as an acronym to Xen hypervisor + XAPI. I recall to have explained that (difference between XCP and XenServer ) once or twice at the users list. Nowadays, the XCP version that was provided on top of an OS has been discontinued. However, we can use the OS we like (we use Debian) and on top of it install Xen hypervisor and then the XAPI packages. The XAPI project is an active project, as it is the base of XenServer.
We have a cloud build on top of Debian + Xen server (4.1) + XCP (1.6) that we have been using with CloudStack (since ACS 4.1). It has been running since 2013.

Re: Request for assistance with Xenserver
Posted by Rafael Weingärtner <ra...@gmail.com>.
When I said pure Xen, I meant XCP. XCP can be seen as an acronym to Xen
hypervisor + XAPI. I recall to have explained that (difference between XCP
and XenServer ) once or twice at the users list. Nowadays, the XCP version
that was provided on top of an OS has been discontinued. However, we can
use the OS we like (we use Debian) and on top of it install Xen hypervisor
and then the XAPI packages. The XAPI project is an active project, as it is
the base of XenServer.
We have a cloud build on top of Debian + Xen server (4.1) + XCP (1.6) that
we have been using with CloudStack (since ACS 4.1). It has been running
since 2013.

Hi Rafael,
Are you sure pure xen is supported? I think all code now assumes xenserver. Although when you use xapi it might as well work. This needs to be tested thoroughly.

Thanks, Remi,
Just by looking at your output, I found the bug.
I will open a Jira ticket and a PR to fix that.
The problem is the following:
In environments in which we use pure Xen hypervisor + XAPI, ACS is not
loading the Hypervisor version properly. That happens because when you use
pure Xen Hypervisor + XAPI, it does not have that
“product_version_text_short” entry. In those Environments, the version that
we have to retrieve comes from “platform_version” entry.

Hi Rafael,
This is from my devtest environment:
XS62
xe host-param-list uuid=uuid | grep software-version
software-version (MRO): product_version: 6.2.0; product_version_text: 6.2; product_version_text_short: 6.2; platform_name: XCP; platform_version: 1.8.0; product_brand: XenServer; build_number: 70446c; hostname: ganash-1; date: 2015-11-05; dbv: 2013.0621; xapi: 1.3; xen: 4.1.5; linux: 2.6.32.43-0.4.1.xs1.8.0.861.170802xen; xencenter_min: 2.0; xencenter_max: 2.1; network_backend: openvswitch; xs:xenserver-transfer-vm: XenServer Transfer VM, version 6.2.0, build 70314c; xcp:main: Base Pack, version 1.8.0, build 70446c; xs:main: XenServer Pack, version 6.2.0, build 70446c
# XS65
xe host-param-list uuid=uuid | grep software-version

You can easily run XenServer as a VM on for example KVM of VMware. I use this to make the template unique at first boot:
