RE: [Xen-API] Re: [Xen-users] XCP and XenCenter

[Tomoiaga Cristian <cristi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The features like Snapshots, Memory a.o. do not appear because XenCenter treats 
XCP as being a very old version of XenServer (XenServer 1.0 I believe).
If you install the XenServer 5.6fp1 drivers inside one VM and change the 
version of XCP from 1.0 to 5.6 all features will appear and everything will 
work. Unfortunately this is not a very good solution but just for testing you 
can search on the history for #xen-api on freenode in order to find out how to 
replace 1.0 with 5.6 in the xapi binary file. Other then that, installing the 
XenServer drivers inside an XCP VM should be easy.
Come on guys it's a simple fix, report different versions if Xencenter connects 
to xapi, please!
