Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:40:03 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/xenapi-compute-driver-events.

Description:

Libvirt driver has some work to proactively spot server state changes before they are spotted by the periodic updates.

We should make the XenAPI driver do something similar with XenAPI events, in a similar way to:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/compute-driver-events

You can see some details about the XenAPI events here:

Xen is not formally supported in RHELOSP at this time.
