[DEPRECATED] SMAPIv3 - Feedback & Bug reports
-
@olivierlambert said in SMAPIv3 - Feedback & Bug reports:
rawmeans any "whole" block device, meaning no snapshot, clone, no shared SR case, etc. Doesn't matter what's underneath. I would say the first use case is passing a whole drive to a VM (eg FreeNAS).But yeah, you would be able to pass a LUN if you like
Sounds a bit like VVOLs from VMware. Not sure how exactly they work but LUNs exclusively for VMs could be an easy thing, regarding TRIM/DISCARD etc.
It just still needs mechanics for XAPI etc. to grab/backup them. Also Snapshots could be done with that, just a different logic.
But first it's probably a target for people needing pure performance.

Nope. I don't know if it's even planned by Citrix.
Noone noes if Citrix has plans at all - not even paying customers. Their communication is kind of a nightmare.

Eager to see CH 8.1 and what they did to improve their driver to support storage live migration

Any idea about the release date? I mean their "one release a quater" only worked for very short and they failed again with 8.1, which should have been released until 1st of October.
-
I think we can reasonably imagine for the end of the year or so
-
Then 8.1 should be the new LTSR. I'd appreciate that. Will XCP-ng follow that concept?
-
Why do you think it will be the next LTSR?
-
IIRC they said this year should bring another LTSR - as the old one becomes quite old now. The last chance would be a release in Q4 - that would also fit for 7.1 LTSR -> 8.1 LTSR (basically making 8.0 evolutions mature/tested)
-
Do you remember where you read this?
-
Citrix, have recently announced via blog post that the next reported XenApp/XenDesktop LTSR release is due end Q4 2019 so its possible CH8.1 might show up at the same time.
-
Damn I probably missed that post, can you put the URL here please?
-
They removed the Hypervisor tag from their blog, so finding that posts isn't easy anmore and CH/XS posts get lost in stuff I don't care about.
Looks a bit like they only want to keep it because VMware Horizon becomes more attractive, if Citrix doesn't bring it's own HV for XenApp/XenDesktop for free.
-
Citrix want to keep their HV/platform because they don't want to rely only on competitors to run XenApp/XenDesktop. It's just not a "product" but a technical part of their solution.
-
I can't find anything on this blog
-
Its all about XA/XD I'm afraid but it does state year end 2019 for the next LTSR.
"Long-Term Service Release News
For those of you on 7.15 LTSR — one of our most popular releases — we have some exciting news about our next LTSR availability. We’re planning our next LTSR for year-end."
-
Somewhere they said they want to algin numbers and XA/XD LTRS only makes sense on a fitting CH LTSR.
-
Hmm okay so it's not written directly. We'll see soon enough
-
Hi, is the "raw-device-plugin" branch already working?
https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-xapi-storage/tree/feat/raw-device-pluginI just upgraded to 8.0 and wanted to try it now and found out, that the latest released package is v1.0.2 and is missing the raw-device.
-
@ronan-a is still working on it, and he's in the middle of a load of tests/benchs.
-
OK thanks, so I better should wait a bit before I try anything?
-
Exactly.
