xenserver hardware compatability? ep 1819

[sapbucket]

I watched episode 1819 recently. I would like to know how you discovered that the Intel NUC is compatible with Xenserver?

...The reason I ask is that the xenserver cpu comparability list indicates Xeon processors only. The Intel NUC (for example: NUC5i3RYB) specifies that it has a Intel® Core™ i5-5250U processor. That processor is not listed in the xenserver cpu comparability list. Nor do I believe any of the NUC processors are listed (admittedly I did not check every version).

Xenserver compatible cpus are listed here: http://hcl.xenserver.org/cpus/

Intel NUC spec sheets are listed here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/000005545.html

I'm actually in the process of buying a new computer, and specifically I wanted to know if the AMD 9 series chip set and cpus are compatible. (http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/chipsets/9-series#)

...thanks in advance

They probably just tried it. The compatibility list only lists server components, not desktop components. Not sure how well supported AMD chipsets will be though. Might want to check xen's forums to see what they think.
