Hi all,

On this page 
<http://docs.openstack.org/diablo/openstack-compute/admin/content/selecting-a-hypervisor.html>, 
one can see that XenServer 5.6 and XCP are supported. Is there any 
chance to run xen VMs using just the 'xen hypervisor' package from linux 
distributions?

This means: bare metal -> Fedora 16 -> nova-compute -> VM

is the page: http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServerDevelopment still valid 
for this configuration?


If yes, I get an error when testing the connection:

sudo nova-manage shell python

>>> import XenAPI
>>> import nova.virt.xenapi_conn
>>> nova.virt.xenapi_conn.XenAPI = XenAPI
>>> x = nova.virt.xenapi_conn.XenAPIConnection("http://localhost";, "", "")
