XenAPI library for OpenStack projects
|
|
|
|
This library provides the support functions needed to connect to and manage a XenAPI-based
|
|
hypervisor, such as Citrix's XenServer.

Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The following features are supported since 0.3.1:
|
|
|
|
* VDI streaming
|
|
It will allow the library user to create XenServer VDI from a gzipped
|
|
image data stream; or create gzipped image data stream from a specified
|
|
XenServer VDI. By comparing to the existing dom0 glance plugin, the
|
|
image data gets processed on the fly via streams. So it doesn't create
|
|
intermediate files. And it completely uses the formal VDI import or
|
|
export APIs when it exchanges VDI data with XenServer.
|
|
|
|
* XAPI pool
|
|
With this feature, we can deploy OpenStack on hosts which belong to a
|
|
XAPI pool, so that we can get the benefits from XAPI pool features:
|
|
e.g. it's able to live migrate instance between two hosts without
|
|
moving the disks on shared storage.
|
|
|
|
The following features are supported since 0.3.2:
|
|
|
|
* Bootstrap compute node via a single command
|
|
Now we can support to boostrap an OpenStack compute node by running the
|
|
command of ``xenapi_bootstrap`` from a VM which is running on XenServer.
|
|
At the moment, only CentOS 7.x is supported.
