Installing Xen

Be nice guys we're all friends here.

And yes, I quoted wrong person
 
I am sorry to be throwing this onto a topic that is a few months old - but have you ever thought of looking at the commercial offering of XenServer from Citrix? It is freely available, unless you need XenMotion and HA clustering, etc.

We run all of our servers on it, since we can get commercial support for it if need be.

Just FWIW.

I like the other one that's in the repo's better.
 
Hi guys,

ive read this 3d many times but, still dont have a box to try it on... :D

Well, now ive got one and i would ask you... there is a sort of GUI for Xen where admin and user can access?

I mean for example, admin can create easy new VM's and user can see their stats and restore the vm to default, or, witha new os?

Thanks
 
thanks, but look little expensive 10$/month (no lifetime license at all seems) for use it just for learning :D

do you know any free gui? ^^
 
There really isn't a free one.. not a good one anyway..

Besides, learn command line first before you mess with GUI's or you'll be sorry..

Also, solusvm is a heap of $h1t.
 
@Dougy:
a heap of $h1t sounds like a personal opinion. Please do give us some specific reasons why you think so. I'm especially interested because I'm about to start testing it.

Thanks.

Solus is, in my experience, the best vm GUI for xen (never tested openvz) in the market. It is an extraordinary piece of software. We've been using them for about 1 1/2 years now.

I totally recommend that you try them, becuase they are a tight team, with a high quality product. You can still administer your vms using straight xen cli. It just makes life easier.

Cheers!

I won't use it because it has bug after bug after bug, and exploits on occasion too. Just read around their forums. There's plenty.

I used it for quite a while, and I only ran into a few minor issues, but I've seen some larger scale production deployments go horribly wrong.

You write you've seen them, but the overall impression of your post is that you've read somewhere about others who've had them. Please be helpful and point us to something specific; otherwise your posts are just hearsay.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, even if I posted the IM logs that discussed the issues, they're easily forged, right? So, there is no way to really provide credible proof. Just need to trust me on this one.
