@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/

@KapilBandlish I don't understand. You are using XCP-ng and talking about Citrix support recommending something?

As @borzel said, thin pro on block device via GFS2 is NOT support in XCP-ng, because the storage drivers aren't open source.

Thats the partition tabel at my simpel testing PC 4 VM

1, 2, 5 using 0700 thats for windows NTFS

Yesterday i fitting with a reinstall of one 7.5 with RAID1 and a exta LSI RAID Controller.
One HDD was damaged, but all my VM was moved to a reseve Sever. So the easyest way was 2 install again. But the install scripts find sometimes one RAID 1 and the Disk behind the LSI RAID. It dont use the /dev/md127 and try to build a new RAID 1 with /dev/sdc and /dev/md127..... and sme craesy options too.
Now i am erasing everything on the old HDD, now its running. The Problem with GDISK HDD are one the end of the HDD is a reseve partition tabelle. Most tools dont erase them. But it is very old and cytrix dont fix it. But its bad when you had fix somthing with booting teh hardware server with a live linux

@sfx please take a look here, there are several discussions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/107

olivierlambert created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp open Software RAID install on previous used mdadm disks #107

That's mysterious 😉 Could we take a look at what you are doing? Could be interesting for the community!

This all seems very over the top for what you're trying to achieve - since there are much simpler solutions out there. BTW, a much better approach than Samsung Dex was Microsoft's Continuum. It, unfortunately, did not catch on in the consumer space (nor will Dex); and, thus, has been relegated to niche business use.

I see where you're going with the end concept; but, it is highly unlikely (if not impossible) that such an approach would ever be broadly accepted and implemented in any typical user environment - it's essentially the same management/implementation problem as existing solutions - you're just moving the burden to another portion of the process with no real advantage.

Wooohooooo !! We have a connection 🔌

install onto (mdadm/ZFS) RAID 10: no

to use (mdadm/ZFS) RAID 10 as SR: yes, of course!

Hi,

We are working on mirrors, expect some news in the next weeks 🙂

At the moment https://github.com/xcp-ng-rpms only contains repositories for the packages that we had to modify. For other packages, you can find their sources in the source RPMs in https://updates.xcp-ng.org/7/7.6/base/Source/SPackages/

The case is solved.

Here is an updated entry in our Troubleshooting Guide: Cause a) There can be leftovers from old Citrix XenServer Client Tools. -> https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/Troubleshooting#the-management-agent-installer-was-executed-but-the-pv-drivers-are-not-installed-in-the-device-manager

Hello all together,

here is a updated version of the installer that removes also old citrix tools/drivers:

https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/23#issuecomment-435696690

olivierlambert created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp closed Windows PV tools #23

You can find all ISOs at https://updates.xcp-ng.org/isos/

@olivierlambert we may want to offer a link to that under a "Do you need an older installer?" link on the main website?

Just got a Ryzen 2700X in the lab. Everything works fine (I just lost 10min to find the "VMX" option to enable it in the BIOS)

Well played guys ! A great news !

@maxcuttins do you have examples of good logreaders?

Thin Pro on block is very very very immature in XenServer. You can't even migrate VDIs on this SR to another one (nor toward it).

Frankly, it's still messy, avoid it.
