Industry develops Xen Hypervisor -- xen.org
Growing Ecosystem Momentum
• Innovation at Xen.org is happening at a record pace– >3700 individual members of Xen.org
– Over 250 companies contributing (both technology and end users)
– Unique code contributions up over 110% YOY in Q1’09
– Xen.org traffic up 58% YOY in Q1’09
• Free XenServer has been overwhelming successful– XenServer now available from over 250 sites in 50 countries
– Download volumes up over 300% YOY
– Q1 revenues up over 200% YOY
– Landing lighthouse customers: Bechtel, Tesco and SAP
Xen Hypervisor
• Xen hypervisor is the core virtualization engine for both the open source and XenServer products
• It supports paravirtualization and hardware virtualization assistance. Both products offer stable, tested components
• •Differences between Xen open source and XenServer include:– Xen open source code includes unstable or untested components
– Citrix XenServer products are rigorously tested and include
– polished features for heavy production use
– Citrix adds proprietary enterprise‐level software to the Xen
hypervisor
XENSERVER UND OSS XENDETAILS
XenServer (free) und Essentials für
XenServer (fee)
• Citrix XenServer 5.5
•Only 64‐bit hypervisor version
•Xen base 3.3
•Dom0, stripped down Centos
kompatibel busybox
• XenSource XE
• Essentials code is proprietary
•Installation “TEN to XEN”
Xen Open Source
• Xen versions:
• 32‐bit, • 32‐bit‐PAE • 64‐bit
•Xen 3.4.1
• Xen theoretical memory and CPU
limits:
• Terabytes of memory
• 128 CPU cores
• Xen requires Linux experience to
install. Installation usually takes one
day to install

XenServer Resource Pools
Ability to join multiple physical servers into one logical pool of resources.
Allows VM agility• Automatic Initial Placement
• Live Migration
Shared configurations• Networking
• Remote Storage
Resiliency to single system failures• Clustered management layer
• No backend management server
• Built-in replicated database on each node

Example 1: To import multiple metadata files into a pool:
# importscript.sh# Imports multiple numbered VM Metadata files## Usage: ./importscript.sh filenameecho Importing $1xe vm-import filename=$1 metadata=truei=2
while [ -f $1$i ]doecho Importing $1$ixe vm-import filename=$1$i metadata=truei=`expr $i + 1`
