Can anyone recommend a web based management panel that would let me bring up / tear down and do some basic management for a bunch of Xen VM's ?
Special bonus points if the panel can manage remote Xen Hosts :D

I've never used/tested it but it seems OpenQRM can manage Xen VM's (as well as deploying newer DomU's). There is a virtual appliance (built on CentOS ;-) ) that can be downloaded from the openqrm website : http://www.openqrm.org/openqrm-virtual-appliance.html
But i can't speak of openqrm because i've no experience with it .. but i know that some experimented people (subscribed to this list) use it on a day-to-day basis, isn't it Kris ? ;-)

Mailinglist need Name highlighting :)
I`m not using openQRM on a day to day basis, but I have been implementing it to manage virtual machine deployment , migrations and management before.

(Note that this is for the 3.X series :)
It also features live migration as documented here (I hope the link works as Youtube is blocked at the custumer I am with today)

Don't know if it was meet what you're looking for, maybe you could try Proxmox VE ( http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page ). It support container base (OpenVZ) and Para/full Virtualization using KVM. The current version is 0.9 and still in Beta phase but very promising product.

Yes, their do support clustering for remote management between PVE. You could migrate the guest from anywhere withing the PVE cluster.

I dont see the Xen word in your reply :D
Also guys, I was really hoping for things that people would have used. I know loads of people who use various tools, I was just wondering if the people on this list were using something they would personally recommend.

Ok, sorry if that wasn't what you're looking for, my bad for point that out :(

I'm currently running PVE on all of my 64bit server doing mostly CentOS 4 / 5 in OpenVZ container and a couple of w2k3 server in the full virtualizations with KVM. Centralize web base management in the clusters mode is to hard to resist :)
Oh, did i mention that you could remote access to the node and it's guest without leaving your web browser? :)
Ok, enough said, i'm not answering your questions, so i will sit and shut my mouth :)
