      Hi All,

      I am very new to XCP-NG and so far I like it a-lot. I do have some questions regarding the web management interfaces aka - XO Lite and XOA, that I hope someone may be of help with. I am not able to manage/create/add VM's, storage, and other aspects of the host server, except that I can see the VM's and the host server that I have added. I am also able to see and use their respective consoles. I used the latest 8.3 build when doing my host sever install, an actually did the install twice as I was missing these functions and thought I missed something. I am having the same issues with XOA, in that I can not add/create VM's, manage/view storage, etc.. Is there something I missed, or are these functions just not available as of yet? I found a version of XCP-NG Center that I am using currently, which works well, but I would love to be able to use the web GUI as well. If I can provide any further information, please let me know. I have used VmWare for about 20 years, so please bear with me. I very much like what I see in XCP-NG 🙂 Thanks in advance for all of your help; I appreciate it greatly.

      Kind Regards,

      Eric

        @ejgagne6189 XO Lite and XOA are very different products. XO Lite is meant to manage a single XCP-ng hypervisor (or host).

        XO from source (or XOCE) and XOA are meant to manage your entire environment of XCP-ng hosts, and provides you a fully featured management/backup and administrative interface for any number of hosts (or pools).

        In terms of your inability to create new VM's some more details may be required... are you able to provide screenshots of your host(s) configured within XO, obviously obscure any confidential information like usernames and passwords.

          Hi Dustin,

          Thanks so much for your reply. It looks like I may have missed the nuggets about XO or XOCE from source, so that could very well be my problem. I have done some screenshots just for overall viewing in case I have missed other items as well. This is a work in progress for me, however I am liking what I see so far. I'm open to any and all good advice as it comes.

          Kind Regards,

            Hi Dustin,

            Evidently my editing software goofed on two of the photos (didn't save my edits) and included an email screen from my second monitor when I had blacked it out. Now I really do feel like a noob - ugh!

              @ejgagne6189 So from the first screenshot it looks like you haven't added your XCP-ng host to the XO interface.

              What you need to do is add it in the below section

                Hi Dustin,

                It's amazing what one can miss when setting something up, and I surely did miss that part. I now see much more in the way of management items. My project for the weekend will be XO/XOCE from source for my home rack. Thanks so much for seeing what I didn't.

                Take care,

                Eric
