ISO test Downloads Availability ?
Hi,

I seem to remember that there used to be ISO downloads of Xen
available, for people wanting to give it an easy way for a test drive,
and to submit (automated) feedback on which machines and
configurations Xen ran (in)correctly. However, I do not seem to be
able to find these ISO images for download at Xen.org anymore. Has the
project stopped making these useful test images - and if so, why ? -
or am I simply looking in the wrong place ?

Thanks in advance,


Regards,


John Smith.

xm test code is still available in the xen code

But all the docs and mailing list reference to it are quite out of date:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenTest
http://markmail.org/message/2jvnvim3hokwfaqy

There are live CDs available [1], but as far as automated testing goes
you may want to check on xen-devel, there are a couple of companies
that send in weekly reports

For example:
http://markmail.org/search/?q=vmx+status+report#query:vmx status
report+page:1+mid:hoqsjbr5x3l2i7pe+state:results

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Todd

The 3.03 version is still the latest released liveCD from Xen Source.
The VMKnoppix live CDs are a good alternative, with newer Xen packages
installed.

Todd,


Thank you very much for pointing me to the latest live ISO images,
that was exactly what I was looking for. However, I seem to remember a
command or option to automatically send the compatibility or machine
configuration to a Xen-Community controlled server. Do you happen to
know what command or option that was, so that I can submit my results
? For example, the Wiki refers to the commands 'tools/xm-test/xm-test'
and 'XenRT'. Are these still valid commands, and how do I configure
them to send the informational results to the right server ?



Thanks in advance,


Regards,


John Smith
