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

@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.

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

@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?

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.

Hi all,

Today I released a new version tagged 0.1.0-beta

I was myself using this as a complete replacement of original XenAdmin for quite a while and I dare to say it's stable enough to use for production purposes already.

I have ported all standard functionality of XenAdmin. Only missing pieces are Windows-heavy things like native RDP support for console, but XVNC console support is already pretty solid, for both text and graphical modes.

I also started adding features that don't exist in original XenAdmin - my favorite one is ability to create snapshot in similar way as XenOrchestra does it - without is_a_template flag so that you run xe vm-export directly on such snapshot - very handy for quick online backups.

https://github.com/benapetr/XenAdminQt/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta

From now I will try to focus on last remaining issues (if I even find any) and then I think we are ready for first 1.0.0 release!

oh I forgot - I also implement fully working direct import / export flow, and only after that I realized this feature didn't even work in original XenAdmin

In my version it works fine.

Also we now have arm64 and risc-v builds for GNU/Linux you can literally run this on raspberry PI now
