Re: [Xen-API] DVS choices for XenServer

Wonderful !!!

So the cross server switch in single pool works & will work :)Â Now if Xenserver wants to get ahead of other hypervisors & wants to have a cross pool virtual switch, will it be possible ? I can vouch for extensive testing if required.

Also since the DVSC is back, are there any plans to let people like us extend it ? Like I found POXNOX apis to be good to use for implementing firewall and other stuff.

Hi Rushikesh,

as per Tech Preview Release Notes:

"Prior deprecation notice for Distributed Virtual Switch Controller (DVSC) now rescinded."

So no problem to stay with DVSC :)

Hello Everyone,

DVSC was good and is really helpful to create CrossServer private switches, however Citrix has decided to abandon it.

I'm looking for alternate options to DVSC and found NOX to be working with OpenVSwitch of XenServer. I would like to explore possibilities of having a CrossServer/CrossPool private switches with help of OpenVSwitch on Xenserver.

I added my switches to NOX and can see topology however XenCenter does not give an option to create CrossServer Private Network.

Any hits/advices ?

Thanks,
Rushikesh J
