    I just released 0.0.4! Still an alpha, but it's becoming pretty usable - there was over 60 commits of code cleanup, polish and also limited testing of all visible features - pretty much everything that is now visible in the UI should be operational at this point, option pages, properties of hosts, pools, VDIs, configuration of NICs, even bonding and advanced stuff like pool password / secret rotation. All XAPI actions and commands were already ported over from C# variant, so my focus now is only on finishing it into a final usable product. We also have some features that original client doesn't have (such as XenCache explorer)! Next on my to-do is to add all features that are currently missing completely: HA, GPU, PCIe, VM import / export etc. Note: I will not be porting over any licensed or proprietary Citrix stuff. This tool may work with XenServer just fine, but I will not be porting over any of the proprietary features, because I will never use it and I have no way to test it either.

    Thank you all for information. I will try to virtualize GPU to Windows VMs.

    @Pilow They would have the same IP address, the new XO is just a new Docker container on the same physical host but with a new database (different version of Redis on ARM so couldn't like-for-like re-use). There is only 1 XO running, 100% certain. The snapshots in the audit log now reflect XO as having initiated them, where before it was the host itself (fallback) - this may all be magically resolved now, but I'm not home to look yet. No, I made a backup of all my VMs before the warm migration, but the backup was made on the new XO instance, successfully, backing up the VMs on the old hosts (XCP1 & XCP2). So the full process I took was: 2 weeks ago, downed old XO Brought up brand new XO (fresh Redis DB), imported config, all working This weekend, spun up 2 new XCP hosts (lot of drama but we will ignore that) XC1 & XC2 Created new pool containing the new XCP hosts (XC1 & XC2) Initiated a backup of all VMs on old host pool (XCP1 & XCP2) using an existing scheduled backup - manually triggered - backup succeeds Warm migrate VMs from pool XCP1/XCP2 to XC1/XC2 - success Disable old host pool XCP1/XCP2, VMs working as expected Snapshot a warm migrated VM - detached snapshot - snapshotting a VM created natively on XC1/XC2 does not have this issue Removed old pool XCP1/XCP2 entirely from XO - this solved the audit logs side of things (I think this is XAPI) Logs now show VM info correctly, but frontend still displays a detached snapshot My guess is that it may think the snapshots were happening on the old pool/old VM, not the warm migrated copy, or something like that. I will update the thread if I manage to resolve everything, I'll keep an eye out anyway in case someone from Vates knows any more on this!
