  Nobody earns money with XOA Free But otherwise, XOA licenses are what's paying XCP-ng dev right now, yes. Plus paid XOAs aren't meant for individuals/home labs, but for companies, and we'd like to companies get a support/turnkey solution that just work out-of-the-box

  @rizaemet-0 here is a XCP-ng Center with NFS 4.1 support: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v7.6.3.21 Just add your NFS SR via the normal assistant, the NFS 4.1 option is right there.

  @olivierlambert I moved it to the Concepts area of the wiki and added a clarification. Should be clear now.

  2TiB limit: no. VHD format is limited by design to 2TiB. SMAPIv3 is not yet production ready (qcow2 format is used, without 2TiB limit). We are working on it to get all new SRs available on it, so… patience Also be careful when you want to use very large disk in your VMs, this tends to get your VM less agile (longer migrate time, longer backup/recovery time) No danger. XCP-ng is based on the open source packages of XenServer. No chance Xen or XAPI will be closed in the future, because they are Linux Foundation project. Also, if you didn't, please see this FOSDEM video where I explain the future of XCP-ng project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpGC5zuLjSs

  @xisco is this XCP thing? or citrix? about pausing VM - this is default behavior in Hyper-V server and is work flawless - restarting server prior to some MS patching - all vm are going nicely to sleep and after boot resumes accordingly.

  I did try that, but it still did not want to recognize and load the PV drivers properly. The VM is still limping with the realtek divers and. It is performing noticeably slow. Oddly others upgraded without a hitch.

  smartmontools is available in latest CentOS repositories so it will likely be updated in next release of XCP-ng which will use updated CentOS packages. It's also available in our repository for testing updated CentOS packages with XCP-ng: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/726/experimental-update-of-centos-packages If you don't want to take the risky route, just add the test repository by downloading the .repo file, then edit it to disable xcp-ng-centos_testing by default, and then use it only for installing the updated smartmontools with: yum update smartmontools --enablerepo='xcp-ng-centos_testing' nvme-cli is not available in that repository, but it is from CentOS: https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-updates-x86_64/nvme-cli-1.6-4.el7_6.x86_64.rpm.html and I added it to the wishlist at https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/56 olivierlambert created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp open List of useful extra packages for dom0 #56

  Xen Tools support for RancherOS in XCP-ng

  Yes I gave a look but Rancher is so much more different than a regular distribution, even CoreOS. The problem is everything on system is container, I can't install something by default even manually (using the tar.gz) because when you are login, you are in a BusyBox container in some way... IMHO, I don't think the Citrix tools has been design to run in a container (even privileged) and to retrieve information for the entire system that is also in a container... What a mess right ? But in the end, these kind of Docker-ready OSes start giving me headache, even CoreOS now is not working like it was in the past, the fault of a very fast-paced developement from the CoreOS devs, the outdated documentation since they has been buyed by Red Hat (they move to Fedora CoreOS with lot of changes), and Citrix who seems to not giving much interest in CoreOS support.

  Perfect ! I was thinking that is only available during the deployment of a VM (I need more experience on Ansible ) I will give a try as soon as I get the possibility to use Ansible.

  No luck with passing through a zwave usb dongle. Have tried two different types: Aeon Labs Z-Stick Gen 5 (https://aeotec.com/z-wave-usb-stick) Nortek GoControl HUSBZ-1 (http://www.gocontrol.com/detail.php?productId=5) Tried both adding through XCP-NG Center and following the procedure above. I can see it added to the vm, but nothing shows in the guest (CentOS7 and Ubuntu Server 1604 and 1804). This stick contains both an 02 device type and 0a, both CDC device types it appears.

  Update: The same VM crashed again, the others are working fine as of this post. I left it up as a remote desktop session last night and I came back to my office today and it was still up as a RDP session, but not responsive. I checked XCP-NG Center and the same blue screen with a cursor was there. Still trying to find the cause of this.

  @atmurphy, I haven't tried it, but there are a set of plugins available for Xencenter that might work under XCP-ng Center that adds an auto-start option. See https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2018/03/14/xenserver-plugins-collection-v6/
