To do this I had do some changes to existing Xen documentation: Apply minimal changes to filenames, enabling later addition of hypervisor support using Xen+libvirt, renaming XenServer files using git mv - section_introduction-to-xen.xml > section_hypervisor_xen_xapi.xml - section_xen-install.xml > section_xapi-install.xml - section_compute-configure-xen.xml > section_compute-configure-xapi.xml All XenServer docs can now be identified using xapi in the filename. Renamed relevant occurances of Xen to XenServer in XenServer docs and the Hypervisor page and replaced outdated references to Xen.org with XenProject.org Changed URL from introduction-to-xen.html to xen_libvirt.html in doc/common/section_kvm_enable.xml (did not include references in .po and .pot files in locale, which are autogenerated) All of the new Xen via Libvirt documentation is in a new page called section_hypervisor_xen_libvirt.html Change-Id: I6a6de021ef4e5de4fe28aa971411e07b656c969c Closes-Bug: #1253565 Signed-off-by: Lars Kurth <lars.kurth@xenproject.org> Co-Authored-By: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@suse.com> Co-Authored-By: Anthony Perard <anthony.perard@citrix.com>

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.
