Can Xen Project Hypervisor work in Xenserver?

Can Xen Project Hypervisor work in Xenserver?

Hello,

Assuming one builds the Xen hypervisor avaialable from the
http://www.xenproject.org/ respository and then uses it to replace the
hypervisor in the Citrix Xenserver /boot directory - will this work.
Rather, is it possible to build and mondify the xenproject hypervisor and
use it to replace the Citrix Xenserver or would one have to get the code
for Xenserver and compile that instead?

Thanks,
D'Mita

A plain Xenproject hypervisor will not work under XenServer.

However, XenServer is open source and available from
https://github.com/xenserver/

You will find that the hypervisor and tools in use is not too different
from upstream Xen.
