    @AlbertK said in XCP-ng - XOA vs. XOCE: @Danp , Is it possible to add the comparison of the XOCE together wit XO in this page?. https://vates.tech/pricing-and-support/#features-matrix XOCE is a term that I came up with when I originally started writing the deployment script that exists today. It's stuck around. Vates uses the terms XOA and "XO from Sources" as their unique products. XOCE would be "you used a github script to deploy" (my github) XO. XO from Sources is a completely manual process where you're following the documentation to deploy XO. This approach gets you the same thing that XOCE does, but takes longer to complete since you're finishing each step over SSH rather than running a single bash command on a Ubuntu/Debian VM.

    @bryonadams said in Trouble Creating VM via API: Is there a place I can submit a feature request to allow setting a description and other settings from the UI to get feature parity when creating a VM? Otherwise, there's not much point since I have to go in and touch the new VM anyway. Unless I'm going about this wrong to begin with? You can create a feature request on Xen Orchestra github repository (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues), and if you have subscribed to support via XOA you can send a request through Zammad.

    @Cyrille Aah, I didn't know about the branches. I had started my own attempt to implement the feature, good to know I can abandon that work. Oh boy discovering the settings map uses an empty key was a moment. OK, I will wait. Thanks to your team for the work on the terraform provider

    XO and XCP-ng pricing

    @DustinB Been using it since 2012, non-profits fell under the academic tier and it was originally by number of cpu which was 2 cpu per host, under 192G ram but again didnt include vmotion etc, just plain ole esxi why I used Veeam since it brought replication into the mix again still using them at a very low cost. They had essentials and essentials plus and the academic pricing was very low, my understanding is they would rather you use VMware vs something else. Again I have receipts going back to 2012, pretty much same price for all these years until Broadcom entered the picture. There was nothing sus about it, you had to verify your non-profit category and fit within the limts, it was pretty standard pricing for a low number of cores, I could go to CDW or any reseller and get the same pricing. Why you have so many small companies jumping ship many were using vmware essentials which was WAY cheaper then what they are doing now which the only option is Standard and it now requires min of 16 cores per host @$50/core. That is the new and wonderful world of Broadcom... Anyway, this was pretty common stuff under VMware, why so many folks were using it, even the small shops.

    @dinhngtu Thank you very much for this. Luckily, these last few 2012 OS's will be mothballed at the end of August, but... sometimes schedules and security don't align.

    @RS One option would be this, assuming in this se you want to run the job at midnight on Dec. 25: /bin/echo "/path/to/your/script.sh" | at midnight Dec 25 While cron doesn't offer a specific one-time execution, you could also do this in cron but would have to remove the entry afterwards: 0 0 25 12 * /path/to/your/script.sh Also, take a look at this option: https://www.fastcron.com/guides/one-time-cronjobs/

    @DKirk That all makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Looks like there are further comments below that seem to pinpoint where the issue may lay. The key point you make is only "after the last updates" is when this started happening!

    Olivier, I can say it's worse without the VGA being selected to 16Mb. That option is pretty much a must for any desktop virtualization. The novelty for me is people get far above 1080...

    @olivierlambert Thank you for your response. I have followed most of the documentation on setting up HA, and made sure that I have 3 hosts. All are Dell 7090 64GB RAM with 2 dedicated HA NICS. XCP-ng 8.3 is patched, XO is up to date, Xen tools 9.4.0 on all Windows VMs, and using the Xen tools ISO that can be mounted. eth0 1Gbs management network eth1 10Gbs iSCSI network DAC eth2 10Gbs VLAN Trunk, including backup network eth3 1Gbs HA eth4 1Gbs HA Overall, XCP-ng and XO are doing an excellent job. I feel like I am on an Easter egg hunt when pouring through documentation, but that is mostly my problem, because I see that you have put a lot of effort into organizing and updating it. My "use case" is replacing the VMware ESXi/vSphere 2-node cluster with XCP-ng and XO at the small high school (non-profit) where I volunteer as the IT guy. I feel that I am at the point where I trust XCP-ng and XO enough to make the switch during the summer break. Sorry to run on. The yellow triangles behind the non-master hostnames are just a small nuisance. I do notice that the hosts are hard to shutdown. Sending a shutdown command from either XO or from the host console causes a host to reboot, but not shutdown, even after having previously entered maintenance mode. I feel that this is not a big issue, just another small nuisance. The XO cluster is maintaining the integrity of the guest VMs. I will be reading all of the documentation I can, and upgrading to 8.4 when it is available. Thank you for supporting your awesome hypervisor.

    @Virtual said in Cannot get to XO Lite portal: @olivierlambert So my host IP is 192.168.1.40 and the Xen orchestra IP is 192.168.1.45 To clarify, I was referring to XO 6 Lite. Going to https://192.168.1.40 brings up the page with XoA quick deploy, cli documentation, etc. It doesn’t navigate to XO 6 lite Going to https://192.168.1.45/v6 still gives me the error mentioned in the original post Indeed, as said, there's no such thing as "XO Lite 6". XO Lite is simply "XO Lite" (we'll have a v1 at some point, v6 is like far far in the future ) So yes, https://192.168.1.40 should display XO Lite if you use XCP-ng 8.3 (you can install it manually for 8.2 but it's not bundled by default) And https://192.168.1.45/v6 should display XO 6, only if you built it correctly to get XO 6 components built.

    Sorry for the delay, I'm a bit swamped. That does not ring a bell to me right now. What is you setup like? How many pools, how many host per pool, is there bond on some of them? Then, more to debug what was actually created as you stated there network does exist but there is no traffic: On your hosts: xe network-list to get the uuid of one of these private networks you created xe network-param-list uuid=<netwok-uuid> should tell you in which bridge they are ovs-vsctl show shows all bridges and their ports, in there you should be seeing the bridge you found in previous step. This bridge should have: a port with type vxlan and options in which you have a remote_ip to the network center the VIFs for the VMs On your VM: is that network assigned to the VMs? do the VM have new devices created in ip link or similar when you attached the network? is there any error in VMs dmesg on device creation? We'll see from there if we can get an idea of what is happening.

    Edit to my previous post: the script is checking for working DNS, so i cannot pre-setup network. If you want the fixed applicance with the drivers installed, ping me ! To setup the network, you just need to login (root/changeme, yeah the password is... bleh), and launch the script /usr/local/brs/puppet/scripts/install.sh -lui

    @RawbDeeni Thank you! I had the same problem using 8.2 lts. I ended up formatting and using 8.3, and I didn't have any issues after that. I'm glad I found a better alternative to use this hypervision from a vmware end user for over 10 years until Broadcom killed it.

    @tuckertt Hello ! We are making some investigations on authentication, users, ACLs etc... topics for the Xen Orchestra 6 version to come. Could you please formalize your need so I can add it to my user suggestions list? Try to make specs as most generic (for all users) as possible, and don't hesitate to add some concrete examples. Have a good day!
