IMPORTANT: Be sure to carefully read stack.sh and any other scripts you execute before you run them, as they install software and may alter your networking configuration. We strongly recommend that you run stack.sh in a clean and disposable vm when you are first getting started.
# Devstack on Xenserver
If you would like to use Xenserver as the hypervisor, please refer to the instructions in ./tools/xen/README.md.
# Versions
The devstack master branch generally points to trunk versions of OpenStack components. For older, stable versions, look for branches named stable/[release]. For example, you can do the following to create a diablo OpenStack cloud:

a XenServer 5.6 + Openstack development environment. This file gives

Xenserver is a Type 1 hypervisor, so it needs to be installed on bare metal.
The Openstack services are configured to run within a "privileged" virtual
machine on the Xenserver host (called OS domU). The VM uses the XAPI toolstack
to communicate with the host.

It is advisable (and necessary if you are using Xenserver 6.0, due to space
limitations), to create the above mentioned OS domU, on a separate dev machine.
To do this, you will need to run Steps 2 on the dev machine (if required) as
well as the Xenserver host. Steps 3 and 4 should be run on the dev machine.
This process requires you to be root on the dev machine.
Step 2: Prepare DOM0

This script prpares your nova xva image. This script can be run on a separate machine

It is likely that for XS6 you will need to build_xva.sh on a separate machine due
to dom0 space constraints.
