Xen is a type 1 hypervisor: When your server starts, Xen is the
|
|
first software that runs. Consequently, you must install XenServer
|
|
before you install the operating system where you want to run
|
|
OpenStack code. You then install
|
|
<systemitem class="service">nova-compute</systemitem> into a
|
|
dedicated virtual machine on the host.

Make sure you use the EXT type of storage repository (SR). Features
|
|
that require access to VHD files (such as copy on write, snapshot
|
|
and migration) do not work when you use the LVM SR. Storage
|
|
repository (SR) is a XAPI-specific term relating to the physical
|
|
storage where virtual disks are stored.
