Xen Tools for Win Svr 2008
-
Migrating my company from 2008 era to 2019. Everything perfect except one of my VMs has to be on Svr 2008 (Internal bespoke software - developers are working on an upgrade but months away.)
So i have 2 new HPE boxes 1 for failover.
Running XCP-NG Latest and Xen Orchestra (self compiled while testing) DC and EX working fine read/write perfect all wonderful but for the 2008 box...I cannot get any form of xen tools or xcp tools to work Xen tools just brick the VM and xcp tools cannot start service. I know it's not supported but somebody may know!
I can get the "I/O Optimized" by letting windows update do it's thing which improved things slightly but not enough read/write speed is exceptionally slow. unworkable.
The standard XCP tools will not install, it cannot start the serviceEverything is fine except disk read/write speed
Anyone know a workaround?

This OS is simply not supported anymore on latest XCP-ng release. It might work on XCP-ng 8.1.
At worst, you can try on older XenServer (maybe 7.1).

Thank you, i am trying Xen 7.0 at the moment, download links for 7.1 LTS seem to be unavailable.
Was hoping some 2008 tools that i didnt find
thanks dude -
@glitchy This weekend everything moved to 8.2. Windows 2008 works as before. Management agent version 7.2
