Status of XCP-ng 7.6: beta out soon
-
-
-
So, if I understand correctly, XenServer is not an Open Source project anymore. As the basic features relies on a closed source component ?
(and will stay like this). -
Not all the basic features. Some of them, but important ones.
-
Is there a general roadmap or feature set that will release with 7.6 (I haven't been able to find one). Please let me know.
I'm interested in seeing if 7.6 will include a 4.10+ kernel with it.
-
We'll have the same kernel as XenServer 7.6, which is a 4.4 kernel with many patches.

By the look of XSO-878, it seems that VM lifecycle is going to be "locked" away for GPU bound VM?
I mean regular server headless VMs can carry on with your closed source or even vGPU VM could?
I can see XCP-ng doing nicely for server like VMs and Citrix focusing on licenced products for GPU VMs....
I'm not sure I read this intent well, so I'd gladly welcome any insight from NG team (if not too time consuming) or anybody else.Thx

No, the problem is that's not only for vGPU bound VM, but all VMs. That's why we are not very happy with this "issue". VGPU is mainly done on Nvidia, which is proprietary anyway, so yes, we are focused on server virtualization.
But in this case, it breaks all VMs for suspend/resume, regardless vGPU or not. And obviously, that's not something bothering Citrix…

@olivierlambert was afraid so. Thx for taking the time to clarify.
Don't you feel this is a blocker for ng's future and might call for the community to try and help in some way? -
This is the case since 7.5, we already found a workaround, we'll find it here too. This time, we'll probably document more the procedure. It's just that the person who did it the first time is less available recently, so we have to wait a bit.
