XenServer tips: HBAs, HA cautions, and HOSTDEVSCAN

Steve Parlee, Moose Logic's Director of Engineering, talks about why we always use HBAs in our Citrix XenServer deployments, why you need to be careful about using XenServer HA in a two-node pool, and a helpful utility called "HOSTDEVSCAN."

NOTE: Early testing indicates that XenServer v5.6 does not exhibit all of the "fencing" behavior of earlier versions when operating in a two-node pool. We will post an update when we've completed our testing.
