      @JaredBusch nothing.

      Just a random conversation with a random IT consultant. He just reminded me of you.

          Yes, it is just part of XenServer.

            Just confirming, just doing some reading up on it, two host setup at a minimum.

              Of course, since XenMotion is moving a workload from one box to another. Anything "one to another" requires two things.

                Like "handing French Fries to a friend" requires two people.

                  @scottalanmiller of course 2 host minimum. My point was about it being open source /free.

                    That's something to talk about? that's way less than my normal amount of email.

                        What Citrix product are we talking about? Xenserver? It's been open source for many years now.

                          yeah, that confused me too. XenServer itself has been OS for a while and is built on stuff that was always OS. So the discussion would only make sense about XA or XD, but does not appear to have been as XenMotion would only apply to XS.

                            Yeah the conversation was about how he had to go back to work to continue work on a migration from xenserver (and xenmotion as a tool) to esxi.

                              Even more money probably (just guessing of course) going into his pockets for this "error" with XM that only the IT consultant or operator could have ultimately caused.

                                Another question, how is it that XA and XD aren't open source. Or are they, and just not commonly used?

                                  They are not. How would they be? They have no association or history with XS.

                                    I thought they were associated, they aren't?

                                      Nope, XA is Citrix MetaFrame from the 1990s. Has nothing to do with virtualization at all.

                                          Ah, are you thinking because of the name? When Citrix acquired the right to the name Xen, when the virtualization frenzy was at its peak, they wanted people to foolishly think that all kinds of things were virtualization that weren't (like cloud today) so they added the name Xen to all kinds of existing products that were totally not related to virtualization or Xen or XenServer in any way.

                                            it's been so long that I forgot that they did that and that people might still think that the Xen moniker referred to the Xen product when added to other products. XenApp and XenDesktop are just names, nothing more. Like JavaScript, meant to add confusion, but no association with java.
