XCP: first unstable snapshot available

XCP: first unstable snapshot available

[Dave Scott]

Hi,

I've built a snapshot of XCP unstable and uploaded it here:

http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/Software/unstable/

The goal is to create snapshots weekly, do some limited tests and automatically upload them to the website. This particular snapshot hasn't been tested at all so be careful :-)

The major new feature in this snapshot is a switch to a 2.6.32 "big xen patch"-type kernel.

Feedback welcome!

Cheers,
Dave

Looks like Open vSwitch is not there (unlike XCP 0.5)?

I haven't installed this particular build but I can see the vswitch bits
in the root filesystem tarball and the default set in the installer is
to use vswitch.

Are you getting no networking at all or is it just using Linux bridging?
What does /etc/xensource/network.conf contain?
What does "rpm -q openvswitch" say?
What about "chkconfig --list openvswitch"?

Ian.

Okay, I think it's just that the xsconsole does not show it in the menus. The commands like ovs-vsctl work fine.

openvswitch

Did we change it from 'vswitch'?

> What does "rpm -q openvswitch" say? 
openvswitch-1.0.1-66.1578

openvswitch     0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

So we are good.

The xsconsole plugin was part of the out-of-tree openvswitch add-on. Now
that it is integrated into XCP it is no longer required and upstream
asked that we remove it to avoid confusion.

Yes, upstream are trying to use openvswitch more consistently and XCP
followed suit. "vswitch" is still acceptable in this file but
"openvswitch" is preferred.

Yes, it looks like it is all fine.

Hello,

Is there a hg patchqueue tree for the XCP 2.6.32 kernel? 

Like the one for 2.6.27: http://xenbits.xen.org/XCP/linux-2.6.27.pq.hg

Oops.
There is now:
