Re: [Xen-users] Which distro to use for Dom0

[Donny Brooks <dbrooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about the live migration parts, are they well supported in Debian? This is the biggest part I want to get working...live/auto migration.

Debian 6 (squeeze) beta 2 is good. Stable xen 4.01 available and no fuss apt-get xen installation.
Caveat: I did just install this yesterday, but was pleased by the progress so far. Much better Xen support than Ubuntu. I missed a few Ubuntu apps, like kvpm, but the maverick versions compiled and ran fine on debian 6 with no problems.

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
