Hi Tilak,
CloudStack can most certainly manage kvm and XenServer at the same time.
Firstly download the latest XenServer system VM Template in line with the
install docs for your version.
You then need to setup the Xenserver Traffic Labels on each network in
CloudStack, setting them the same as the actual names of the networks or bonds
you have setup on your XenServer hosts.
Regarding lack of Intel VT support you need to run the following to update the
database BEFORE you try adding the hosts
mysql -p<password> cloud -e \ "INSERT INTO cloud.configuration (category,
instance, component, name, value, description) VALUES ('Advanced', 'DEFAULT',
'management-server', 'xen.check.hvm', 'false', 'Shoud we allow only the
XenServers support HVM');"
Finally take a look at

you setup XenServer Management HA.

Hi..
I have been using cloudstack using KVM for some time and would now like to
add a new cluster with Xenserver Hosts..
I wished to know is that possible for a single cloudstack management server
to handle both Xen and KVM? If yes can anybody tell me how to proceed to do
the same?
Its because the templates for system VM for Xen are different than that of
KVM and I read that adding support for Xen has to be done before setting up
the Management Server. I would not like any changes to my current
cloudstack management server as currently some VMs are running on it.
Also I wished to know is Intel VT necessary to be enabled for Xen too like
it is for KVM. I browsed a few links and they said that Xen can also work
without Intel VT enabled from the BIOS given extensive GUI based processing
is not required on the VMs. So does Cloudstack accept Xen Hosts with Intel
VT enabled?
