Yes, for what it's worth, we manage all our public cloud regions with instances 
running on XenServer in a small private cloud.  That small installation is 
managed by Vms manually created on a small number of XenServer machines.  This 
includes Quantum and Melange nodes (although we hope to move them to Neutorn 
soon).

Additionally – our compute nodes run in production as a VM on each XenServer 
hypervisor.  It doubles the overhead from a "node" standpoint, but provides a 
lot of advantages.

Thanks!

Hi Dhanesh,

Yes, this should be possible – there is no additional coupling between the 
compute node and the network node when running with XenServer and as such they 
can easily be running as two separate virtual machines.

In terms of the setup, you might want to look at 
http://blogs.citrix.com/2013/06/14/openstack-networking-quantum-on-xenserver-from-notworking-to-networking/
 which has a useful deployment diagram and should help explain what can be 
separated in which way.

Hi All,


Is it possible to use Xenserver with  two virtual machines as Compute Node and 
Network node?
Will it effect the performance? or the set up in any ways?



Regards,
Dhanesh M.
