I recommend figuring out = the right install-repository URL first via the CLI and then translate this = into python. You’d have to insert a line like:

<= /p>

session.xenapi.VM.add_to_= other_config(vm, “install-repository”, “<my URL>= 221;)

just before the session.x= enapi.VM.start()

It is probably the holidays: I know that Cloudious Systems (the makers of OSv) are interested showing OSv running on top of Xen and so do the XO guys. A blog post could be a good idea (tying it up with the DevRoom program, which has not yet been published). Another approach would be to reach out pro-actively to people we want to do demos (e.g. Samsung, people/projects with RT schedulers, ...). Unfortunuately I will struggle to do this given that I am in China.

It is probably the holidays: I know that Cloudious Systems (the makers of OSv) are interested showing OSv running on top of Xen and so do the XO guys. A blog post could be a good idea (tying it up with the DevRoom program, which has not yet been published). Another approach would be to reach out pro-actively to people we want to do demos (e.g. Samsung, people/projects with RT schedulers, ...). Unfortunuately I will struggle to do this given that I am in China.
