Xen Orchestra, commit 71fa8
With a snapshot attached to a VM, it is reported to use 0% of 100GB

And if I remove the snaphot

And that seems to be more accurate

Hi @ph7,
The VDI storage used space with snapshots has been fixed in XO 6.5 !

@julienXOvates
Well not in my daefc witch is newer than 6.5.1

seems more like 8% to me

same in my XOA 6.5.1

[julienXOvates]

OK, we'll have another look at it, sorry for this !

[ph7]

@julienXOvates
The faulty ones are on local SR
If I take a manual snapshot on a NFS VM, I see the correct value

Will test a scheduled one

[ph7]

Local VMs vith scheduled Incremental or full Backup and CR are affected
NFS VMs vith scheduled Incremental or full Backup are affected
NFS VMs with CR not affected

[julienXOvates]

@ph7 Thanks for those details, very helpful. We'll have a look.

Incremental -> Incremental OR full

Here is a small usability suggestion. In the Resources dashboard, in Pool view and Host view, positions of CPU and RAM are swapped. I occasionally get a brain freeze when switching between Host and Pool dashboard.

Right, thanks! We'll change this !

Glade to see more progress on v6.

Yes, that's one of the next big pieces we're going to add to XO6 UI !

[Greg_E]

I still haven't set any of that stuff up, still just local accounts. Never enough time!

[julienXOvates]

@Greg_E well, UI is not ready yet (while REST API is), above screen is just the base !

@pdonias @julienxovates I’ve made an issue and PR to update the documentation so it’s in sync with the current status of XCP-ng release version 8.3.0. Namely that it’s now a Long Term Support (LTS) release following being a semi rolling or standard release with new features being added.

https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/10091

[poddingue]

@john.c your PR landed on the 15th and the live page now reads "XCP-ng 8.3 LTS", so the table matches the advice sitting right above it again: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/10092.
You spotted it and then wrote the fix yourself, which is the part that saved the next person the trouble.

Ah sorry I read it too quickly. This panel is only there in some occasions, but I see the point of only displaying it when we click on a relevant element. Feedback for you @julienxovates

While on the topic of the tree-view panel.
Have you noticed that the indentation changes if there is a chevron indicating that there are VMs on a host? Making it so that the hosts no longer are alinged vertically

Hi @jr-m4, it took some time but we corrected the identation in 6.7 (latest)

[vuanhson]

Will XO6 implement chart resize feature? The chart view is break on device with small screen, can't drag drop or resize the chart

[olivierlambert]

Yes, charts rendering is not optimal yet. IIRC, it's planned to get better card organization in the future. Stay tuned!

[coolsport00]

I made it through the whole year's updates on this thread. Took me a while

I never saw if the VM UEFI issue was resolved in a patch to XO? (I'm on "sources")

Also, I scrolled around my XO6 UI...saw several changes since my last logon. You all are making progress! Glad to see. Would like to see some of the Pool ("Cluster") configs make it to XO6 sooner than later if possible (i.e. Load Balancing, HA, etc). Also, would like a "cleaner" config interface for those things than what's shown in XO5. BTW...if I'm missing those configs in XO6, apologies, but I hadn't seen them yet.

Appreciate all your efforts thus far!

Oh, and for those who are not aware, Veeam now officially supports XCP-ng for backup. Looking forward to them also enabling Replication like they just did for Proxmox.

Thanks!
