This topic was edited by a BMC Contributor and has not been approved.  More information.


TKU February 2009

Updated the type attributes for the XenServer and XenCenter patterns as follows:

  • Citrix XenServer pattern:
    • 'Citrix Xen Enterprise Server' to 'Citrix XenServer Server'
    • 'Xen Enterprise Server' to 'XenSource XenServer Server'
    • 'Xen Enterprise Domain' to 'Citrix XenServer Domain'
  • Citrix XenCenter pattern:
    • 'Citrix Xen Center' to 'Citrix XenCenter'

Other improvements are as follows: 

  • Changed the vm_type attribute (created when SI for XenServer domain is created) in the Citrix XenServer pattern from 'Xen Domain' to 'XenServer Domain'.
  • Modified the consolidation method. A new approach is used, which rectifies a bug in the former Unix trigger and adds support for consolidating Windows guest hosts.

TKU May 2009

Fixed an issue with the /sys/hypervisor/uuid file download which led to a slow discovery scan. The pattern now only attempts to download the file if the xenstored process is running.

TKU July 2010

The following improvements were made: 

  • Updated the Citrix XenServer pattern to support the 5.x version of the product.
  • Added file versioning.
  • Changed the source of the version used in Domain nodes.
  • Removed Communication relationships between XenServer and Domain.

TKU Aug 2010

Fixed several minor bugs, which improved the pattern reliability when processing earlier versions of Citrix Xen.

TKU July 2012

Added support for the IPAddress node.

TKU August 2012

The following improvements were made: 

  • Improved the search query.
  • Added link management code.

TKU November 2012

Added support for whitespaces in the regex of the domain_name attribute.

TKU March 2014

The following improvements were made: 

  • The XenServer Domain SIs are now only created if host_uuid is known.
  • Added the resident-on=<host_uuid> argument to the xe vm-list active command to ensure that XenServer Domain SIs are now only created if present on the same host as XenServer Server SI.

TKU August 2014

Added minor updates to the product version regex (TKU-2308).

TKU February 2015

Deprecated privilege command execution configuration through the pattern configuration block.

Enhanced VMs linking by adding minor changes to the consolidation pattern.

TKU February 2016

Fixed an issue with non-executable commands on slave in the CitrixXenDomain pattern (QM001884735).

TKU July 2016

The following improvements were made: 

  • Updated the CitrixXenDomain pattern with the code that reduces the load on XenServer hosts and creates links from slave host to master.

Added support for Xen 7.0.

TKU September 2017
