CloudMin / Citrix XenServer Integration questions

Hi Support,

Does CloudMin support Citrix XenServer pools or is only compatible with standalone XenServer boxes? If not, when is pool support being added?

When provisioning a VM on XenServer is it possible to specify which Xen SR (Storage Repository) is used?

Finally, Bandwidth reporting does not seem to work with XenServer hosted VMs. I can see stats for the XenServer host, just not the VMs. Is monitoring XenServer VMs planned?

Regards, Nathan.

Currently it only supports standalone XenServer boxes. Pool support is planned, but we don't have an ETA yet.

When provisioning a VM on XenServer is it possible to specify which Xen SR (Storage Repository) is used?

This will be possible in the next release. Current you can select the SR for additional disks for a VM, but not the first disk.

Finally, Bandwidth reporting does not seem to work with XenServer hosted VMs. I can see stats for the XenServer host, just not the VMs. Is monitoring XenServer VMs planned?

We would like to add this, but XenServer doesn't appear to offer an API to fetch bandwidth using stats from a virtual system..

Is there any update on the "Pool Support"? (and: is XenServer 6 supported?)

The latest Cloudmin will detect if a VM has been moved to a different machine in the pool, but cannot yet trigger a move.
