XenServer and Xen Base

XenServer and Xen Base

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 570 bytes --]

Hello All,

I'm pretty new to Xen. Infact, this is my first mail. I'm not even sure if
this is the right mailing list for me to post this.

Well, I recently read a comment by CTO of Citrix that if Xen Base is the
engine, then XenServer is the Car!... Current XenServer runs Xen 3.3.

I was wondering if it is possible to change the engine of the car? that is
from Xen 3.3 to Xen 3.4? . This is mainly because to do nicer things Xen 3.4
does compared to Xen 3.3.

If YES (I'm sorry), how?

if NO (sorry again) why?.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
Sridhar

It's probably possible to change the hypervisor, however
Xapi(management piece) wont know how to harness the new features.

Take a look at XCP (Xen Cloud Platform), it's basicly XenServer opensourced,
and has Xen 3.4.2 already.

Thanks to both Pasi and Markey. Will try both the options.
