Hi, I have noticed that I am not able to instantiate profiles with Xen VMs at APT, I can only get bare metal at APT. Is this known/expected behavior?

Steps to reproduce: Use the small-lan profile with default parameter values, but check the "Use Xen VM" box. Try to instantiate at APT. Experiment fails.

Hi. We no longer run a shared node pool at the APT cluster.

To clarify, does this mean that Xen VMs are not supported at APT even in exclusive mode? I am not necessarily looking for VMs on shared physical hosts.

Ah, I misunderstood. They should work, I will take a look later today.
