Xen 4.0 released
by David Kowis on Apr.07, 2010, under Source Mage, W00t!, fedora
Finally!
From the official page:
The Xen 4.0 release contains a number of important new features and updates including:
- Blktap2 – High performance VHD implementation supporting snaphots and clonces including live snapshots
- Netchannel2 – Support for new Smart NICs with multi-queue and SR-IOV functionality
- Fault Tolerance – Live transactional synchronization of VM state between physical servers
- Libxenlight – New library providing higher-level control of Xen between various toolstacks
- PV-USB and VGA Pass-through
SourceMage has already updated packages for it.
There’s a repository and src RPMs available for Fedora here. Specifically the Xen 4.0 src RPM. I’ll try to remember to fire up a build on my xen DomU that I use to build RPMs for me :)
Xen Stats

Now you can view the stats on who’s doing the most work in my Xen hosts. Yay.
It explodes if there’s a halted vm. It’s not built to handle the new xen 3.0 lifestyle of things. I guess I’ll be learning myself some python. Or I’ll translate it all to bash ;) I could probably do it in bash. Not that python isn’t used for everything in xen anyway. Okay, now I’m rambling.
