[DEPRECATED] SMAPIv3 - Feedback & Bug reports
-
Citrix, have recently announced via blog post that the next reported XenApp/XenDesktop LTSR release is due end Q4 2019 so its possible CH8.1 might show up at the same time.
-
Damn I probably missed that post, can you put the URL here please?
-
They removed the Hypervisor tag from their blog, so finding that posts isn't easy anmore and CH/XS posts get lost in stuff I don't care about.
Looks a bit like they only want to keep it because VMware Horizon becomes more attractive, if Citrix doesn't bring it's own HV for XenApp/XenDesktop for free.
-
Citrix want to keep their HV/platform because they don't want to rely only on competitors to run XenApp/XenDesktop. It's just not a "product" but a technical part of their solution.

I can't find anything on this blog

Its all about XA/XD I'm afraid but it does state year end 2019 for the next LTSR.
"Long-Term Service Release News
For those of you on 7.15 LTSR β one of our most popular releases β we have some exciting news about our next LTSR availability. Weβre planning our next LTSR for year-end."
-
Somewhere they said they want to algin numbers and XA/XD LTRS only makes sense on a fitting CH LTSR.
-
Hmm okay so it's not written directly. We'll see soon enough

Hi, is the "raw-device-plugin" branch already working?
https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-xapi-storage/tree/feat/raw-device-pluginI just upgraded to 8.0 and wanted to try it now and found out, that the latest released package is v1.0.2 and is missing the raw-device.
-
@ronan-a is still working on it, and he's in the middle of a load of tests/benchs.
-
OK thanks, so I better should wait a bit before I try anything?
-
Exactly.
-
@olivierlambert @ronan-a Has there been any update on this development? I do see an update to master in org.xen.xapi.storage.raw-device from feb 2020. is it more safe to test now?
-
SMAPIv3 isn't production ready yet (we aren't really happy with the current state of it). Also because we are working on LINSTOR storage with LINBIT, it takes a lot of our storage R&D/resources right now. We can't be everywhere, so we have to prioritizeβ¦
-
Ok, thanks for the update. Wasn't expecting production ready, was just curious on status and if was safe to run tests with it which sounds like not.
-
I see movement in the github repo again. Good sign!
-
Is there anything new with SMAPIv3?
-
We'll let you know when visible things will be out. But yes, we work on it.

I am playing a bit with SMAPIv3, I created a storage of type file in /mnt/ and a VM, after restarting xcp-ng /mnt/ was not mounted so the storage was not mounted, I did it manually and when starting the VM Throw me
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_24 Error parameters: VDIInUse, The VDI is currently in useI did a detach to the disk from the vm and I also deleted the vm and created a new one but it still gives the same error.
detach and repair does the same

Am testing ext4-ng and noted that the vdi's it creates are not matching their uuid on filesystem. If I look at the ext4 file structure itself they are simply labeled 1, 2, 3 etc.
-Good news is I could create a 3TB vdi on this sr within xoa without having to use the command to force it as rawI tried a raw-device sr but still get error that driver not recognized. Assuming plugin still not in
