Super XenServer related but GRRRR!!!!!
http://screencast.com/t/2qpuXJaR9rhU

Xen3 is the server I want to add to the pool of xen1 and xen2

I see my Management is setup on all three IP's are reachable since my xence=
nter server can see everything for both groups of servers. =20

Only difference is Management is called MGMT as network label on my current=
 pool and Bond 4+5 on the new hosts I want to add.

http://screencast.com/t/sBiNU9XAtr

That is the error I get when I try to join the pool.

The server joining the pool must have a physical management NIC  (i.e. the =
management NIC must not be on a VLAN or bonded PIF)

Indeed, this is XenServer-specific.
Start with one host meant to be the initial pool-master. Say: configure the=
se trunks and networks on just this single host. Don't forget to label thes=
e networks to meet the respective ACS labels.
If you'ld like add this host to ACS. Can be done now or later.
Additional hosts meant as additional pool-members shouldn't be configured. =
Just do a simple installation and define the hosts management IP *on one of=
 the meant-to-be MGMT trunk-ports*.
Join the addtitional host to the pool-master and you're done. The pool- con=
figuration will be populated to all new pool-members. I'ld recommend to use=
 the identical NICs on every host - that's way easier.
