Difference between "pool", "host" and "server".
-
Hi there,
I'm a noob and very excited about XCP-ng and (open source) XOA. I've been playing around with a simple setup on my home lab for a week or so now. I'm also new to the forum, so if this topic should be in another category, let me know, and my apologies up front.
One question that I can't seem to get my head around is the terminology used in various places.
In Xen Orchestra under the home menu, I have "pools" which have "hosts". In "settings" I also have "servers".
What is the difference between "servers" and "hosts" in a pool?
I asked because I have one pool with two hosts, but only one server. If I try to add the other host under servers it fails with the kind of cryptic message "this pool is already connected". Can there be only one "server" in a pool?
The xcp-ng display when a monitor is attached to a host talks about a "Resource pool". Is this the same as a "pool" in Xen Orchestra?
Cheers, ZaphodB

Pool is resource pool, yes.
pool can consist of multiple hosts which can live migrate VMs
Server = host
