Hi Neobiker and Lorenzo, thank you very much for your hints! I've managed to build a paravirtualized Endian 2.4 Xenserver 5.5 virtual appliance.
All seems working except ipsec (missing modules, I'll try to add them soon). Console is ok, network and disk I/O are ok too, Xentools are fully working. I don't know if Endian License let me publish such a virtual appliance, but if anybody want to help me testing/fine-tuning, I'll be glad to privately send a link.

Once you are done, could you please provide the steps to install the xen-enabled kernel (with ipsec, perhaps:) ) and anything else is needed? It would be useful, for me and surely others in the future.

I have a customer that uses efw 2.1 on xenserver, and it would great to upgrade them.
Do you have to have the source for 2.4 to make this work? -Original Message- From: mdenadal mailto:maxx@. Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 3:29 AM To: efw-user@.

Is it possible to contact you to ask some hints? Especially how to install a debian kernel on my Endian. Thank you very much. Massimo - View this message in context: Sent from the efw-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. Hi Massimo, on Xenserver i would suggest to copy the Debian-Kernel from your Xenserver (a Debian-DomU) and the libraries to your Endian Firewall, in order to be able to use the Xenserver Tools which IMHO can't be used with Standard Debian Xen-Kernel (XEN-API is missing)! Additionally you have to configure your EFW on Xenserver to start as a PV-DomU, not a HVM.
I don't know how this could be done, you have to study the Xenserver Admin documentation on Configfiles and the 'xe' documentation. I think i would copy/paste/check/merge the EFW HVM configfile with a Debian PV configfile to start.
It should be easy to use EFW 2.4 as a HVM. It is easy to switch a HVM to PV on a XEN.ORG System, but i don't know how this is done on Xenserver! Maybe the xcp mailinglist will answer this question for you. I actually upgraded with 'smart upgrade' from EFW 2.3 (PV) to 2.4 (PV) without major issues on a XEN.ORG Debian System.

I think for this you have to use e.g. The Xenserver CentOS Kernelbecause of the Xen-API modifications in the kernel (needed for xen-tools?) yes, of course you need a xen-enabled kernel. I was wondering if any kernel will do with efw. Thanks for the Links above, looks easy to switch from HVM to PV on Xenserver too. You're welcome.

What are the sources you're using for compiling the missing Modules for openswan/IPSEC? I've installed Lenny on Xenserver using an iso image built by Citrix ( ).
Xentools installations changed my kernel to an exotic 2.6.29-xs5.5.0.15 version which seems to work great. I've discovered that Citrix maintains a repo with updated kernels, sources etc ( ).
Et voila', remaining tasks are trivial (almost for you:-D ) I switched from IPSEC to openssl, Within Endian???? Very interesting.
Please, can you detail a little more? but ipsec is working with kernel-standard Thank you very much for the hints! BTW, do you think, EFW 2.3.1 Community is less buggy than 2.4? I don't think anything:-D, I've found many bugs in 2.4 (ad authentication, traffic graphs etc.) so I was only hoping that older version were more stable. But after your question I'm not so sure. Consider that I'm new to Endian Firewall, it seems a great project to me, but so many bugs are simply unacceptable for a security application.
Anyway I'll keep working on it for a while (a salesman of my company have already sold some systems, so I have no choice:-D ) Ciao, Massimo.

The community version (in the past) not.
So don't bother about your salesman, he's right;-) - View this message in context: Sent from the efw-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi Massimo, I'd very happy to get this virtual machine. I'm actually looking at how to install it under Xen (running on Debian or Centos). Could you please send me a link at jeanf#guyet.net?
