This plugin enables managing of XEN Server as a Compute Resource in Foreman.
Packages are available for Debian based distribtions as ruby-foreman-xen and for Red Hat based distributions as ruby193-rubygem-foreman_xen The gem name is foreman_xen.
Please see the Foreman manual for further instructions:
In order to use the cloud-init functionality users need to:
- install the
genisoimagepackage - mount a "NFS ISO Library" (as XenServer calls it) which is attached to the Xen pool to a location writable by the foreman user.
- set this mount point / path as ISO library mountpoint in the compute resource
foreman_xen then creates a network configuration file, renders the user_data template, puts them in an ISO, copies this ISO to the attached ISO-library and attaches it to the created VM, where cloud-init can use the data provided to initialize the VM.
