Installing Sodium Agent on XenServer 6.5

Well boo. Wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Python version on a fully upgraded XenServer 6.x

>>> print(sys.version)
2.4.3 (#1, Jan  9 2013, 06:47:03)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)]

Very brief synopsis: We are a project that is currently in alpha that does monitoring (and soon remote management) of servers with the intent of quite a bit more than just that. We do a lot of posting/interaction here on ML so that we can get everyone's opinions on features and the directions they should take, that way at the end of development (as if it ever ends) we'll have a product that people will actually want to use.

I think that while it would be great, older XenServer is going to be out of scope, at least for a really long time, with Sodium. There are a lot of barriers there and a really small use case. Now the current XenServer might be a different matter. Has anyone looked at that at all?

Don't but xenserver 7 is centos 7 so it should be python 2.7

olivier

# python -V
Python 2.7.5

On XenServer 7.1

Yeah, while I had a system available I figured looking to see if it would "just work" made sense. But the version of Python is to old, and it's a huge hassle to get a newer version installed at best.

Time to update to XS 7 and test

Yeah, if I had any way to get my own OS installed it would've already been. Another server at WholeSaleInternet.

They don't let you install an OS there? And they don't keep the ones that they offer updated?

They give you a choice, and they always seem to be a little behind. One big reason why it's only every going to be a home lab environment for me and not a recommended service for any company.
