🔗 Enterprise Management Tools List

This section contains the discussion happening on the et-mgmt-tools list

🔗 virt-manager Adds Disk and Network I/O Graphs

Guido Günther submitted[1] a patch for virt-manager to display with disk and network input/output graphs in addition to the CPU and memory utilization graphs.

🔗 virt-manager Supports Multiple Serial Consoles

Cole Robinson patched[1] virt-manager to combine "the serial console window with the VM details window. Opening the serial console now appends a tab to the details view. In addition, multiple serial consoles are now supported, not just the primary/first defined console, though this still only works for 'pty' devices."

🔗 Fedora Xen List

This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-xen list.

🔗 No Dom0 Support in Fedora 10

Daniel P. Berrange laid[1] it out there. "There is pretty much zero chance that Fedora 10 will include a Xen Dom0 host. While upstream Xen developers are making good progress on porting Dom0 to paravirt_ops, there is simply too little time for this to be ready for Fedora 10. So if you need to use Fedora 10 as a host, then KVM is your only viable option at this time. If you can wait for Fedora 11 (or use RHEL-5 / CentOS-5) then Xen may be an option for you."

🔗 Libvirt List

This section contains the discussion happening on the libvir-list.

🔗 Running Xen Guests Without xend

Stefan de Konink asked[1] if users could someday run xen guests without a xend running. Gerd Hoffmann said[2] there are patches queued up which begin to allow qemu to do this. Adding, "If things work out well we might have that in the F11 timeframe." Assuming Dom0 support in the pv_ops based kernel is completed.
