Enomalism and Xen
I’m looking for a management console for Xen (besides the command line). I’d looked into this months and months ago and concluded that when the time came, I’d try Enomalism, but after some initial experiments I’m no longer sure. Any advice? Let me know what you use for managing the Xen hypervisor and why.

I'm not sure what distro you are running, but I'd suggest virt-manager from Red Hat. Its mature, stable and feature full. I'm not sure if there are other versions of it out there, but I am sure you can get the source as it is available for Fedora 8
We have been using VMWare, but are currently researching Xen in conjunction with Novell OES. This document from Novell summarizes some of the major options for virtualization - http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/oes/virtualization-best-practice-1.3.doc
I'm curious to hear details about your experience with Enomalism and what turned you off on it.
Xen Open Source or the Xen Enterprise Edition ?
Phil, we have a new version of Enomalism coming out next month that should make the installation, management and migration process much more streamlined. The entire enomalism platform has been re-built from the ground up. You can see an overview of the new features at > http://www.enomalism.com/features/next-generation/
