is this worth creating a page on the wiki or maybe even a guest blog
post on
Good morning,
I have wrote previous mails about this topic from
egoitz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
address (I'm going to use this one in the future for this
mailing list). I have been working on adapting XenServerTools
for working with FreeBSD, and I'm proud to say here is the
result :) . It's working and although it's in testing phase it
seem's to work pretty nice :). I can suspend, move, use
ballooning, display ip, disk bandwitdth and so… from XenCenter.
So, I would like to share it from this mail, and basically know
if it works nice for you too :) ; apart from this, if Citrix
people does see any kind of problem with the code I would be
very thankful too if they notify me in order to solve it. It has
tested with FreeBSD 9.0 RELEASE, xen-tools-4.0.1 (port) and XCP
1.1.0-50674c. I think this could be too, a good starting point
for supporting FreeBSD in XenCloudPlatform :) (we can help
happily!!).
The requirements for getting this working are basically :
- Run FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE 64 bit HVM Kernel (although should
work too with 8.2/8.3-RELEASE HVM Kernel and 64 bit too).
- Xentools port.
- And you should later extract the tar and copy the files to
the corresponding path on the disk.
After that just… '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/xe-daemon.sh start' and
enjoy it :) .
Let me know you're opinions.
Regards,
