Re: [Xen-users] xen manager

[Stephan Seitz <s.seitz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just sharing my experiences with convirture:

pros:
- uses xm compatible (not xl compatible) config files
- can be used on top (or besides console voodoo)
- can be deployed (with basic features) on an already running xen server pool.

cons:
- application is extremely fragile
- has timing issues when managing a few more machines (up to ~100 vm's is somewhat ok)
- statistics come with  noticable, rather expensive workload on dom0's

I'm currently using it for giving the possibility of start/stop/migrate to some more staff which can
do these tasks quite fine, but I don't want to see them at dom0's root prompt.



Initially very complex, but after a few days of learning if found cloudstack [0] a very nice
management tool which has a lot more features when it comes to SAAS / IAAS
Just read the installation guide.
