New project - XenAdminQt - a cross-platform GNU/Linux, macOS, Windows native thick client

Version 0.0.6 released - it mostly fixes many small things, most notable the console is now very stable, there was a bug in VNC protocol that resulted in randomly getting just a black screen, that was fixed + many other small fixes (unable to add more than 16 disks to VM, host pool join logic, pool creation logic, etc)

There is now also experimental support for override of VM transfer network, following same logic as Xen Orchestra has (it checks if xo_migration_network host otherConfig key is set and if yes it follows it). There is also additional setting for it in pool properties.

@benapetr just a small notice, at least in 0.0.5 version. When adding an NFS ISO library SR, there is no choice for NFS version (v3 and v4) like in XCP-ng Center. The XAPI then defaults to v3 which did not work in my environment.

benapetr

@bvitnik good catch, that form had multiple issues, I just fixed all of them - https://github.com/benapetr/XenAdminQt/commit/4847e85f2403f3c6fd328f17754c91df21c36502 this was one of them

benapetr committed to benapetr/XenAdminQt

refactor of new SR wizard

fixed missing NFS version selector
made Test Connection button appear only when we create new SR, not ISO,
because xapi doesn't support probe on ISO objects

implemented drop-in descriptions when nothing is provided

cleaned up some qvariant scraping and invalid creation of XenLib objects
(like Host) instead we retrieve them from the cache now

I haven't found how to set up a physical NIC. you can only edit already configured ones.

benapetr

@Tristis-Oris hello, setup what exactly? you can create bonds from physical NICs, but I don't think original C# client allows anything else either?

Tristis Oris

@benapetr configure dhcp\static mode.

benapetr

@Tristis-Oris that's in management interface configuration, exactly same as in original C# client that had it same

bvitnik

@Tristis-Oris maybe a few comparative screenshots would help

Tristis Oris

it's only possible to change management interface.

nothing can be done with other NICs.

weird, what is this?

benapetr

@Tristis-Oris

Hello I am testing it in a lab and it works fine

Can you suggest how to reproduce this issue?

benapetr

@Tristis-Oris I think I see the problem - but this is exactly how it works in old XenAdmin and you would hit the same problem there - you have already 2 configuration objects "Management" and "Unknown" you can switch between them in that first side menu on the left.

If you click one like Management and try to change the interface its bound to, you can't pick NIC that's already in use by another management interface object (note Unknown is using "10G storage" already. You are trying to set "Management" object to 10G as well that's not allowed). This is a XAPI restriction, as I said the logic is same as in original C# code.

@benapetr said in New project - XenAdminQt - a cross-platform GNU/Linux, macOS, Windows native thick client:

you can switch between them

nope, that just 2 from multiple nics.

Need press add ip address to add other NICs. Now i see how it works.
