️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!:I use the "VM notes" feature in XO 5 for lots of things, and I appreciate having the markdown capability. It seems now these VM Notes are stuffed into a small "Description" field inside the "Quick Info" panel for a VM.
Currently in XO 6, it looks like my notes are getting truncated in this new description field, are there plans to preserve the "VM Notes" functionality? Or should I be backing them up now before I lose them?
Me too. They serve as important info, documentation, and other bits of info that needs to be quickly on-hand.
What I would like to add is a way to upload images and include them in the Markdown.

️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!:I'm not sure if it's a good idea to show a Backup issue every time a Cont.rep. job is run
Thanks for the feedback, we'll fix that!

We'll investigate that issue, thanks for the report.

️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!:In ContRep, Conf/meta and in one of the Full Backup jobs I get Report when Never. But they are enabled in XO5 with mail address and Report when Skipped and failure
This definitely looks like a bug, we'll check that, thanks again!

Notes and descriptions are 2 separate things. We haven't added notes in XO 6 yet, but don't worry, we will! And XO 5 and XO 6 will be available side by side until XO 6 is fully usable, so you're not going to lose your notes, no need to back them up

@olivierlambert nice, better than megathreads !
added my first TAG demand on it -
Hi,
Just pulled the last commit and see that v6 become the "default" endpoint.
Unfortunatly, I have to rollback, any user can connect, SSO (oidc) is broken, I think it's not fully implemented yet ?
callback URL give a "Internal Server Error"; adding "/v5" make a loop with login screen...
There is any trick to diable v6 by default ? Or make OIDC works ?
Thank you and have a good day
-
@Kptainflintt Please provide us the XO-server log that concerns the connection error, authentication is supposed to work as before.
-
Hi,
That's the wired thing, no error in logs...
But I found why : I have "profile" scope in my OIDC configuration for a while, it seems to broke SSO in last version. Without it, it works.
Thank you

Subject: XO 6 is unusable without Migration tools
I just updated and was presented with the XO 6 interface. I am shocked to find that the "Migrate" functionality is missing from the UI.
Moving a VM is the most fundamental feature of a hypervisor management tool. Making an interface the default—or even presenting it as a viable preview—without this feature is a major workflow breaker. I shouldn't have to revert to the CLI or hunt for a "legacy view" toggle just to perform basic maintenance.
Please prioritize porting the migration/lifecycle actions before pushing users toward this interface. It makes the product feel broken.

Just did my RPU and checked on the new v6 interface.
The old one has task details that are missing on the new one (or I didn't find them:
I like to see the evacuation tasks happening (in the past I could identify hangs etc)
Here instead of the ID of the VM host the real names should be shown:
-
As shown above the evacuation tasks are not shown.
The last steps migrating thre VM's to the original place are shown:
-
Also here the task progression can't be followed (stays at 0% until completed):
instead of

I can't seem to find User settings to change admin name/password or configure filters. and they are not in the obvious place - account settings in top right corner.

Trying not to be negative, but I hate having to jump back to v5 to get things done.

@Greg_E This is only until we get more features directly into XO 6. Our goal was th get feedback ASAP without waiting again for months and something entirely finished (to finally realize it's not the right way and lose another year).
If you don't want to test XO 6 and report what's missing first for you, you can configure your instance to be on XO 5 by default and switch later

The odd part is that I'm happy with XO Lite, so not sure why 6 is causing me problems other than needing g to jump back to 5. I only have one XO new enough to be updated, I guess I need to update my lab since I'm in it a lot lately and come up with more productive comments for the team. The switch just immediately shocked me in a way that it shouldn't have done being that I've been using Lite to try and get ready.
-
That's also because XO Lite is replacing basically "nothing before", while XO 5 is 10y full of features that we can't all re-implement at once in XO 6
-
Tasks still show completed actions, a month ago events.
No way to install updates. New ui less informative than the old one - no packages changelog.
It also take a time to get into new navigation. Instead of static categories at sidebar, now i can't open Backup while inside pool settings. Need to do extra clicks.

For the rest, if it's a feedback that's not there and not a bug, feel free to add it
