Is XenServer 7 on the roadmap? I have seen significant performance differences between my ACS cluster running XS 6.5 SP1 and a separate XS 7 cluster (non-ACS) connecting to the same storage array. Other than the XS hosts being different versions all is the same. Same switches, same storage array, etc..
I am just curious.

We have reduced the failures and errors for XenServer from 93 to 9 and for VMware from 51 to 14. A CentOS 6/CentOS 6 KVM run is currently executing. Based on manual tests/fixes, we are expecting to be the first super green configuration. We have also found the following additional defects: * CLOUDSTACK-9528 [2]: SSVM Downloads (built-in) Template Multiple Times * CLOUDSTACK-9529 [3]: Marvin Tests Do Not Clean Up Properly 9528 is causing XenServer environments to fail to install and startup cleanly. A lack of cleanup described in 9529 is causing XenServer to exhaust available resources before a test run completes. We believe that resolution of these issues will address most, if not all, of the XenServer issues.
