      @olivierlambert https://feedback.vates.tech/posts/49/pool-view-rather-than-host-view

      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?

                  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!

                  Another option would be to just mimic XenCenter design to make it more "Xen native" and have Objects view where you have separate tree node for "Hosts" and then "VMs" so you group all hosts and vms together.

                      xo 6 is rolling out features regularly, for many functions, you must continue to use x05. backup is one of those at this time

                        It seems like VDI-size in VMs VDIS is back to showing size of snapshot instead of size of VM.

                          console view is unreadable even if fullscreen was selected. It was much more usable on XO5.

                          Iam missing a lot of configurations in XO6 which are available on XO5. New interfaces already feel weird, thats normal habbit, but iam very confused with this one.

                          Can i make /v5 the default interface on this version?

                            What do you mean by "unreadable"? Can you be more specific?

                            Also, more is coming to XO 6 progressively, we'll be on par this year. About /v5 by default, we documented it IIRC.

                              @olivierlambert I try to show it with some screenshots on same VM with the same screen

                              This is XO5:
                              5fdfb5e6-cf67-4e19-bf94-bcd85dddcc5b-image.jpeg

                              This is XO6:
                              afe0fff8-4ab1-4bed-855e-e65f2b24ff92-image.jpeg

                              can you spot the difference? it seems some kind of scaling is happening here... it looks blurred. What do you think?

                                  Sometimes "# Disk Space" for VMs reports 0 in the central pane. But the assigned space is shown in the details (right) pane.

                                  This is the same under Pool and Host-level. Sometimes it is shown, but after a reload of the page, it resets back to 0.

                                  Marked the examples in red.

                                    I removed 1 host from the pool and the local storage from that host didn't get purged

                                        Slow booting on Debian 13 VM created from a template

                                        I recently tried cloning a VM from a template (created from a full install of Debian 13). What was noticed was that the system takes forever to boot when the VM is created from XO-6. The issue does not happen in XO-5. The VM seems to hang at the TianoCore boot screen Hang.png.

                                        What I noticed is that when the VM is cloned with XO-6 the boot order somehow changes to Network boot as the first option

                                        BootOrder.png

                                        This does not happen (change of boot order) if the VM is cloned from XO-5 and there is no boot delay. The boot process seems to wait for more than 2 minutes before it fails network boot and then proceeds normally to boot from the Hard drive
                                        Hang2.png

                                        Thanks
