XCP-ng project
-
The short term goal is to have:
- the latest XS version with "XenServer" name replaced by XCP-ng
- removal of all feature restriction
- easy upgrade path from XS to XCP-ng
Mid-term goal:
- rely on RPM repo for all operations
- validate/authorize more vanilla packages to be used on Dom0 for more integrations within Xen and XAPI
Long-term goal:
- contribute directly to mainline (XAPI/drivers)
- re-unite XAPI into a mainline without license check
-
Seriously - this is fantastic stuff !!
-
The one thing that kept me from using XenServer at my current server provider is that I couldn't get XAPI to listen on custom ports.
PLEASE make that something easily done!
NB: I haven't used XenServer since 7.0.

Once there is an ISO I'd be happy to test, I'd be interesting in helping the upgrade process as well.

Yeah this looks really promising
-
I backed this.... I mean, the logo itself is a winner . Iām almost as excited to be getting a shirt as a fantastic modern hypervisor platform to move forward with!
-
This project looks so promising for previous xenserver users.
Be great to see an option to import xen-orchestra built into the project, wherever that imports the VM for you or installs on the host itself.
