@olivierlambert said in Feedback in regards to upcoming XO update: I'm not sure to get what you said. Right now, we have a specific partnership with 2CRSi, having access to their engineers who design the case and integrate the components inside. This helps us to give exclusive insight on the hardware, and on their side, providing XCP-ng pre-installed. I'm not against having other partners, but you can imagine that Dell or HPE are taking more time to provide XCP-ng pre-installed on it. I never heard of NovaTech before, I'll be happy to work with them if they want to work with us I have dropped a message to Novatech with a link to your website letting them know about you. They're currently closed for today but when their people come in tomorrow they'll get my message, be ready during that day onwards for possible contact from them! Your already got a French municipality as a customer providing their servers with your Virtualisation software stack. Well if you manage to partner with Novatech you'll also have the capacity to gain MBDA along with Thales as customers through them! They're a solutions producer and provider partnering with them would allow both of you to benefit, as well as incorporate XCP-ng, XOA and/or XOSTOR into the Novatech solutions. Each of the solutions provided by Novatech is bespoke to a specific customer, built using off the shelf commercial components. Pay attention to their video "Our Story #3 About Us" as they provide worry free computing to the companies working to change the world we live in. All of their people enable their customers to do remarkable things. What's more worry free than not having to worry about, a business's product policy of their closed source proprietary software? Partnering with them would enable their products and solutions to have Vates VMS as a component to them and reduce the worries of the Novatech customers!

We will make a blog post on XCP-ng, because most of the article (especially the title) is click bait.

@olivierlambert Awesome! Thank you so much!

@olivierlambert thanks for confirming!

Wow this great news and amazing work!!!

@olivierlambert Business 2 pools updated fine.

@olivierlambert I am open to building stuff into XCP-ng if my knowledge was there to do it.

@olivierlambert said in Dell cancels VMWare contract after Broadcom purchase: Time to make a phone call to Dell Yes sir do it. I hopefully a contract between you / Vates and Dell is on the horizen. Really hope XCP-ng comes as the standard for Virtualization just like ESXi once was.

@olivierlambert Good vacation and rest well ️

@Sergiu Good job! Hard to tell what was wrong, but Im happy you resolved it.

@grapesmc at one point I had the idea to set up a xcp-ng build environment and build netdata in there, then simply copy it over to the xcp-ng hosts. Unfortunately I was not able to dedicate the time to this so far.

@john-c @stormi @olivierlambert All, given the complexities involved in providing an automated solution for this issue, it may make the most sense at this time to mitigate any negative outcomes using an installation/update warning. For instance, throw a message dialog issued by both the ISO installer and the pool update feature in XO such as: WARNING: One or more of the pending updates may alter your VM's firmware. If you are using Microsoft BitLocker to encrypt virtual drives, you should exit now and suspend BitLocker prior to performing this update. (Provide customer with Exit or Continue buttons with Exit selected by default.)

@gskger https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/8202/eol-xcp-ng-center-has-come-to-an-end

@Danp Yes I did that and it looks good now.

Thanks for your feedback @loopway ! Happy to make your home lab running

just a personal opinion I'm leaving here, no follow-up needed. If I want to run containers I use OKD. I've always seen all the comments about keeping the dom0 controller to a minimum, docker alone adds a 2GB overhead to it, no more problems in adding stuff to it.

Thanks! Don't miss Daniel Stenberg stories, they are gold (eg: being insulted because someone found some curl sources in a bigger software). Some gems with the right tag in his blog: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/tag/funny/
