Hi, I am aware that Xen via libvirt is in the group C support but since I am not able to install xenserver iso at compute machines I have, I have to consider to use xen with libvirt. I have three nodes, each one running ubuntu 14.04. I follow the instruction to install juno in ubuntu 14.04 and it works (I can create instances from horizon) when I use kvm as the hypervisor at the compute node . However, if I switch to use xen as the hypervisor, it will fail to create instances. Note that I am able to create a xen guest with virt-install from command line, with the following command. So, I believe I am quite close to get libvirt + xl work for openstack. Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks,
