XCP-ng Center 8.0.0 released

ruskofd

Thanks captain Borzel to maintain this software

borzel

@ruskofd it was like the versions before a little fight with git and branches ... and I'm sure there are some issues hidden. But for the price you get an awesome product

_danielgurgel

A great release would be a great opportunity to change the XOA interface a bit.

borzel

@_danielgurgel you are in the wrong thread. This is about XCP-ng Center.

XenOrchestra (and the corresponding appliance XOA) is another client.

ruskofd

@_danielgurgel I think there is some redesign planned for XO.

Thanks @borzel for all the hard work

Argh! No! It doesn't support 6.5!
Yes I know it's old but I have some servers using that and migrating is out of my hands.

How do I downgrade? I tried downloading 7.6 but the windows installer won't run because it detects I have a newer version.

Is it possible to use both XCP-ng Center and XenCenter on the same Windows session? It could be a workaround

Good thinking cheers. I already had it installed and it's working - at least for the three servers I needed it for.

Note that I didn't say anything about Xen Orchestra (which is working from XS 5.x to CH 8.0 and XCP-ng 8.0)

I'm still using that also

Wish there had been a notice that backwards compatibility was literally being nixxed. This removed compatibility with everything from XS ~~4.x to~~ 6.5 which is 93% of the servers I had it hooked to.

If you don't mind, can you comment on that change in the release notes?

olivierlambert

Unrelated but… wow! 4.x! Never heard of this version being used since we started XO project. I'm even curious: does XO work with those?

borzel

@mmetully just added a note to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.8.0.0
I was not aware of this change

mmetully

Reviewed my server versions after rolling back to 7.6.3.20, that was a misunderstanding on my part. It's just 6.5 that we are primarily running that is now incompatible. I was mixing that up with another hypervisor's versioning system.

apayne

I just tried the help feature from the program menu, because I'm wanting to see the port numbers that it uses. It appears those are not connected to anything?

borzel

@apayne as listed in the release notes, there is no help until someone cares about and does the work: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/issues/20

borzel created this issue in xcp-ng/xenadmin

open What about the help files (*.chm) #20

Did some testing with XCP-ng Center 8.0
Seems to be having strange problem. When opening XCP-ng Center for first time it's possible to migrate or move VM's. But this only works for 1 time. Doing it for second time Next button is grayed out until closing and reopening XCP-ng Center.

@renx999 I seem to recall someone else reporting this recently.
