      Hi @darthkitty8 !

      Thanks for the feedback and idea, can you create it at https://feedback.vates.tech and use the "XO 6" tag? Thank you very much!

          So you’re interested in having it a bit more like when using VMware vSphere while, regarding VMs, hosts and pools? That could work, but still need a hosts view for each member of the pool. In the host’s view it needs to be able to see, what VMs are running on it.

          Also needs to be compatible with https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/9430. If not already synced with NetBox, the pool and hosts should be linked by UUID when synced. So in other words the structure needs to be pool is linked by UUID to host by its UUID and then the same for VMs. So the VMs are linked by UIID to the host UUID.

            Nothing in my post would restrict the view to only seeing VMs within a specific Pool, the view should be flexible enough to shows VMs in a pool.

            As it is now, you see all VMs that are running under a given host and then pool.

            This in and of itself could become tedious to manage/dig through.

            The potential remedy here would be to show all VMs in a pool, and on the given VM show the host where it's running.

              Even in VMware vSphere there’s a hosts view, that shows things specific to a particular host. This includes VMs running on it, or are currently halted or suspended on it. As well as patches missing from the host, etc. Though it more roundabout to get to it under VMware vSphere.

                @john.c This is already viewable under each hosts in the pool.

                  Another suggestion, collapse non-running VMs into a single group, rather than having them listed individually.

                    Then in that case the pools based view restructure can go ahead. Was just concerned about ensuring that it’s still possible to access individual hosts.

                      Small discrepancy: VDIS or VDIs? Which one is it? 😉

                      Red points out where it's called VDIS.
                      Green where it is called VDIs.

                      And as a bonus feedback/question. Why is it called "A VDIS" ?(marked with yellow)

                        missing the Health Overview dashboard. if you have 10 pools this was very usefull so I will go back to the old view for now.

                        also restore a VM is missing only the Backup tab is visible.
                        if I click on the "eye" it still not there will this feature come in the future?
