We have a number of customers and partners using this API for the management of their virtual infrastructures.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Forgive my ignorance but I have never heard of the libvirt library which is not even part of the VMAN DMTF which is meant to be an industry standard. <a href="http://www.dmtf.org/standards/mgmt/vman/">http://www.dmtf.org/standards/mgmt/vman/</a>. Is libvirt a more of a Redhat focused initiative and is the customer asking this question focused on Linux and Windows or just Linux?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The completion of the XenServer 5.0 SDK Refresh project, culminating in a release-to-web of<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> * A completely new PowerShell snap-in for XenServer (XS-PS).

I agree with you that the XenAPI list is mostly dead. I haven't seem anyone contributing to it in a while...
