Xen Hypervisor – Open-Source-Virtualisierung für Systemadministratoren

Hier kommt die Einleitung in das Thema mit Hinweisen, wozu du Xen als Systemadministrator wissen solltest. Xen ist ein leistungsstarker, open-source Type-1-Hypervisor, der dir ermöglicht, mehrere virtuelle Maschinen (Domains) parallel auf einem physischen Host zu betreiben, ohne dass ein Host-Betriebssystem dazwischen funktioniert. Du solltest Xen kennen, weil es in älteren Linux-Umgebungen wie Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 eine Standardlösung für Virtualisierung war und dir hilft, […]

#PegaProx for#Proxmox only? Nah, now you can also manage #XCPng!

XCP-ng support is still in tech preview but alread comes with:

  • XCP-ng Pool Support — Connect XCP-ng / Xen hypervisor pools alongside Proxmox clusters
  • VM Power Actions — Start, stop, shutdown, reboot, suspend/resume for XCP-ng VMs
  • VNC Console — Remote console access via XAPI RFB
  • Disk Management — Add, resize, remove, move virtual disks on XCP-ng VMs
  • Network Management — Add, update, remove virtual network interfaces
  • CD-ROM — Mount/unmount ISOs from XCP-ng storage repositories
  • Node Details & Maintenance — View node info, enter/exit maintenance mode with VM evacuation
  • Storage Uploads — Upload ISOs and templates to XCP-ng storage

At @bawuenet we're in the process of upgrading our #Xen #xcpng hypervisors to #uefi boot. Of course, we automate things and want to be able to reinstall our hypervisors from network boot. Our EFI netboot system is based on #ipxe which means it can only load EFI binaries. But xcp-ng ships the Xen kernel as a multiboot2 based image.
As probably one of the most weird ways to solve this problem, I've decided to chainload #grub2 from iPXE and learned a bit! 🧵

I wish this post by the Xen Project existed years ago when I was trying to understand the differences between Xen and KVM. Would have been a great jumping point to dig deeper.

Xen at FOSDEM: Real-World Conversations About Xen and KVM

We just wrapped up a weekend at FOSDEM 2026 where Xen and XCP-ng both had dedicated booths. This was my first time at FOSDEM and the legend lived up to the hype. It was an insightful weekend full of interesting folks who were genuinely interested in the Xen Project. Everything
