Scalix Forums

hello,

i like to use scalix community edition 11.4.1-U1 with xen on sles10sp2.
problem: starting the installer gives me following error:

Error: unsupported OS release: None on i386

kernel: 2.6.16.60-0.21-xen #1 SMP

xen: 3.2.0_16718_14

thanx!

Caveat:

I've seen some bad experiences with XEN. I'd recommend you look at ESXi, which is also free, and much more commonly used. XEN just isn't there yet, in my experience (admittedly at least 6 months old).

Having said that...

Can you post the output from "cat /etc/*release*"

Thanks
Kev.

hi,
thank you for your reply.
meanwhile we gave up the idea running scalix inside a xen vm and using drbd to copy data to a secondary server. we will deploy a primary and a cold-standby server and a shared disk system.

thanks a lot

Thats funny I've had a production xen box rhel5.1 with about 200users on it for 10 months now..the only problems I've had have been Scalix related ..the host and it's other xen domains are stable and solid. The only real problem I've seen with Xen is the maturity of the subsystem for removable media.

Curious what kind of issues you had?
