Hardware compatibility list (HCL)
Search this list to check whether a server, network adapter, storage controller, GPU or CPU is known to work with XCP-ng. Use the search field for a vendor or model name, and the filters to narrow by category, compatibility level or XCP-ng version.
The list combines four levels of qualification: hardware validated jointly with our partners, server families our customer base runs in production, hardware certified by its vendor for the Xen platform XCP-ng is built on, and hardware whose vendor has since withdrawn that certification. We keep that last group listed: a vendor dropping a model tells you what it still tests, not what XCP-ng runs. For the list of hardware partners and their validated models, see the Hardware ecosystem page.
This list is being actively reviewed: we are working through every entry to verify it, so its content may still be adjusted. In the meantime, the XenServer HCL provides additional details on Xen platform certified devices.
- Vates partner validated jointly with the hardware vendor
- Vates field validated from a server family seen in production at Vates customers
- Xen platform certified certified by its vendor for the Xen platform XCP-ng is built on
- Formerly Xen certified certified by its vendor for the Xen platform, until that certification was withdrawn

Hardware not in the list
XCP-ng supports the x86-64 server platform as a whole, not only the models listed above. Any server built on a supported processor family and on components covered by the drivers shipped in XCP-ng runs and is covered by your support plan. The list identifies configurations with an additional level of validation; absence from it does not mean absence of support.
In practice, compatibility is determined by a server's components rather than by its model name. If you do not find your exact model, check its building blocks against the list instead: the processor family (see the CPU category), the network adapters and the storage controller. A server assembled from supported components is compatible by design, including models released after the last data update.
Beyond production servers, XCP-ng runs on any Intel or AMD x86-64 processor with the standard virtualization extensions (Intel VT-x or AMD-V), including desktop-class CPUs. This makes lab, test and evaluation setups easy on whatever machine is at hand; for production workloads, stay on the server processor families listed above.
Planning a deployment on hardware not in the list? Our team can review your configuration before you commit to it: contact us with the hardware details and we will check them against known compatibility data.
Community resources also cover the long tail of hardware:
- The hardware support page of the XCP-ng documentation, a community-enriched list of unlisted hardware with known issues and workarounds.
- Alternate drivers and additional kernel modules, listed in the XCP-ng drivers wiki.
- An alternate kernel (
kernel-alt) to test hardware that misbehaves with the main kernel.
For CPU, RAM and disk requirements, see Download and install XCP-ng and the requirements page of the XCP-ng documentation, which also covers per-host and per-VM configuration limits.
