      @olivierlambert said in SMAPIv3 - Feedback & Bug reports:

      Eager to see CH 8.1 and what they did to improve their driver to support storage live migration 🙂

      Any idea about the release date? I mean their "one release a quater" only worked for very short and they failed again with 8.1, which should have been released until 1st of October.

        I think we can reasonably imagine for the end of the year or so 🙂

          Then 8.1 should be the new LTSR. I'd appreciate that. Will XCP-ng follow that concept?

            Why do you think it will be the next LTSR?

              IIRC they said this year should bring another LTSR - as the old one becomes quite old now. The last chance would be a release in Q4 - that would also fit for 7.1 LTSR -> 8.1 LTSR (basically making 8.0 evolutions mature/tested)

                  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.

                      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.

                            Its all about XA/XD I'm afraid but it does state year end 2019 for the next LTSR.

                            For those of you on 7.15 LTSR — one of our most popular releases — we have some exciting news about our next LTSR availability. We’re 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.

                                  Hi, is the "raw-device-plugin" branch already working?
                                  https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-xapi-storage/tree/feat/raw-device-plugin

                                  I 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.

                                          @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 prioritize…
