Hi Konrad,

I thought Citrix Xenserver is based on Xen kernel and it inherited all of
Xen mgmt cli and other tools.

I have downloaded source code from
http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/lp/lp_1688623.asp
and have looked into product cd 1(in which I found netfront and netback
source code), product cd 4(probably tools). Unfortunately don't find
anything related to /xen/tools/hotplug... Any inputs?

Thanks
-RK
