      I didn't really find an answer with web search or forum search... Is managing the Xen Project servers the same in XOA or XO-CE as managing XCP-NG? I want to test something for comparison to XCP-NG and it seems the best way for me to test this is to build a Xen Project hypervisor (plus a small pile of money for a new host that I will need to order).

      Any known issues, I need really basic control of the host, no pools, remote storage, and would be nice to have a console into a Windows VM.

      If not I'll figure this out the hard way and RDP into the VM.

      Any known issues with using an HP T740 for this task? It's an AMD V1756b processor (4c/8t) and I'll probably jam a Supermicro 10gbps card in it and 64GB of ram, plus some local storage. I have some of these running vSphere8 that I'm learning on, and they seem to be fine for light lab use, I'm guessing XCP-NG will be fine on them, but never messed with the Xen Project version.

      Should I go with a RHEL based OS like Rocky or Alma instead of Debian?

        Hi,

        Xen on Debian only provides a very feature-slim API (libxl), not the XAPI. So it won't be possible to manage it via XO.

          Thanks. I've been doing some digging this morning and what I was thinking of testing isn't going to work. It's interesting reading but not going to help me.
