XenServer Plugin for Fuel 6.1
XenServer is an Open Source hypervisor with commercial support options provided by Citrix. This plugin provides a new Release definition in Mirantis OpenStack to allow easy installation of production environments based on XenServer with Fuel.
Requirements
| Requirement | Version/Comment |
|---|---|
| Fuel | 6.1 |
| XenServer | 6.5 SP1 |
| XenServer plugin for Fuel | 1.0.1 |
- This plugin will not install XenServer or configure the Virtual Machines used to run the OpenStack services. Installation of XenServer and configuration of these Virtual Machines must be performed manually.
- Each hypervisor must have the same access credentials as Fuel does not support per-node settings.
- One Virtual Machine, which will be used to run Nova (the compute node), must exist on each hypervisor. This must be created as an HVM guest (in XenCenter, use the "Other Install Media" template) and configured to PXE boot from the PXE network used by Fuel.
- XenCenter is expected to be used to configure VMs, and is required by the HIMN tool in the installation steps
- Network 'br100' must exist on the XenServer hypervisors. This network will be added automatically to Virtual Machines and the compute nodes must have access to this network.
Limitations
- The plugin is only compatible with OpenStack environments deployed with Nova Network as network configuration in the environment configuration options. The plugin will disable incompatible options when the XenServer Release is selected.
