[one-users] [SOLVED] Re: OpenNebula and XCP

[Javier Fontan]

To make xen 4.1 work with OpenNebula 3.8 there are some configuration changes.

* In /var/lib/one/remotes/vmm/xen/xenrc:

    export XM_CREDITS="sudo $XM_PATH sched-credit"

* In /etc/one/vmm_exec/vmm_exec_xen.conf:

    DISK   = [ driver = "tap2:tapdisk:aio:" ]

* In /var/lib/one/remotes/vmm/xen/attach_disk, change the line:

    FILE_PREFIX="tap:aio"
to
    FILE_PREFIX="tap2:tapdisk:aio"

Make sure you execute "onehost sync" so the remote files are updated
in the nodes.

These changes are already addressed in the new 4.0 code base. Now
there are two drivers (one for 3.x and other for 4.x) so it will be
easier to setup.

Moreover we will be participating in the Xen Hackaton next month [1]
where we will work to make the xen 4 drivers use the new APIs that
come with that version.

Cheers
