Tim, Thanks for replying, let me clean up everything and re-setup my test infra after my $dayjob hours and get back to you. The test cases in the design doc does not discuss Xen Project so I thought I should ask if ACS works with Xen Project 4.x.
The Xen/XenProject/XenServer/XAPI/XCP is confusing [1]. From what I understand, XCP was some sort of an opensource version of XenServer, but since XenServer distribution (which consists of Xen, XenCenter, XAPI, Linux etc.) is opensource, XCP has been discontinued since 1.6 release? Now, on many Linux distro XAPI is still available as 'xcp-xapi' such as in Debian/Ubuntu, so what package(s) do you suggest one needs to install and configure so I can get DevCloud [2] work again? DevCloud is a VM that runs Xen (Xen Project) inside it and can be used as a virtual host to test/develop ACS against it.
