(In practice I think there may be some things not yet working or implemented for Xen + OpenStack). You may want to instead take a look at Project Kronos: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2011/07/22/project-kronos/ http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XAPI_on_Ubuntu with Project Kronos you will have two options: (1) bare metal --> (Linux Distribution + xapi + Nova Compute) (Note that currently only Ubuntu/Debian are supported, but Fedora is planned and someone did proof of concept on RHEL) OR (2) The XCP/XenServer way with Nova Compute in a VM. > This means: bare metal -> Fedora 16 -> nova-compute -> VM > > is the page: http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServerDevelopment still valid for > this configuration? No. But it should work for Project Kronos since the nova compute VM + xenapi needs to talk to XAPI. Hope that helps. Let me know if you try Project Kronos with OpenStack and if you run into any issues.
