I would always recommend the latest version of XenServer and of OpenStack. In particular there were a couple of fixes for race conditions that have gone into Kilo, so I would recommend using that version.
XenServer 6.5 with SP1 is the newest XenServer and has a number of performance and scalability enhancements that, even if you are happy with the feature set in earlier versions of XenServer, mean that I would recommend it. As a minimum, XenServer 6.2 would also work.

One last question: This 3 node setup is just a proof of concept of a bigger architecture (with around 30 nodes). I personally would prefer use KVM, so we can use Kilo and Neutron, but for some political reasons, we are really pushed to use XenServer (no problem about XS itself, I think it is great), but we don't have enough time and "hands" to make it work. Thinking about it,i would ask (maybe Bob will give me the best answer) what should be the best choise for use Openstack with XenServer regarding their versions? Maybe an older XCP with Juno or Icehouse? And what about VMWare as it is as XenServer in Group B? Thank you again.

If you want to use XenServer then community member Bob Ball ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) can help you more with this.

Looking around the internet for docs about XenServer as compute node, i've got the impression that the main effort of OpenStack is use KVM instead of XenServer, because the docs (and lots of another links outhere) are outdated. May i consider it true? Should i forget about XenServer and move to KVM? What do you guys think about that?
