[Xen-users] Which distro to use for Dom0

[Donny Brooks <dbrooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I first started using Xen I was on Ubuntu 8.04 with the version of 
Xen that shipped with it. Now here at work I have had to move to a 
Centos based Dom0 due to the dell OMSA requirement of an rpm based os. I 
have found good sources on how to install OMSA on just about any linux 
distribution so I am now in the market for a new setup. Centos is fine 
but I was wondering if there was something else out there that would be 
better for the dom0.
All of my servers are Dell's and have 2 or 4 nics which I have and can 
bond together and pass a trunk through. We now have an iSCSI SAN that I 
need thrown in the mix. Do I need to dedicate half the nics for the 
iSCSI or just pass the vlan to the domu's? I am unclear on this part.

Here is what we need for the distro/xen:

Live/automatic domu failover
Easy upgrade path between xen versions
Preferably web-based dom0 administration (not totally needed but is nice 
for the others in my office)
What is the best distribution to accomplish this with the greatest of 
ease/administration?
Thanks in advance

Donny B.
