Re: [Xen-API] What is XCP iso 'under-the-hood'?

Oh and to finish off the other obvious end of that question.

You need to enable base because Citrix has disabled it specifically so that you don't go messing up their dom0 =)

e.g.

[root@vh04 yum.repos.d]# grep enabled *

CentOS-Base.repo:enabled=0

Good question =)

I think I wrote that in my default notes just to be completely explicit about my intentions.

However good timing for that question because I'm setting up a new XS, so let's see what happens.

And the answer is it works fine.
