[libvirt] Xenner status
Can someone tell me if RHEL-6 is planned to have support for Xenner? Will this be built into qemu? Otherwise what are options for using Xenner with RHEL-5? We want to run both KVM and Xen guests managed by KVM hypervisor.

Xenner as it has been is mostly a proof of concept. Gerd has been doing work to merge Xenner into QEMU itself, but I believe he has that on hold while more important changes are done. So I don't know when Xenner might be fully merged. It certainly won't be in RHEL5/6, since it is just a proof of concept at this stage, not enterprise quality maturity Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|

I ask about Xenner because of what I saw in announcement of RHEL 5.4 in this article: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/09/red-hat-moves-forward-with-k... It implied that Xenner was available for 5.4 and therefore I assumed it would be in RHEL-6 as well. So I guess from what you are saying is that it won't be officially supported but would be available at are own risk. Gerry
