Parfait, merci !

I shall write to the Help email address!

Hi, @Darkbeldin !

Thank-you for the quick response!

So, yes - each host runs a fair number of VMs (although I don't have those numbers on hand). What exactly is slow - the initial loading of the hosts into XOA, because of the number of VMs? Or even once it's all loaded up the management can be slow with 500 hosts?

Another question, then: if we fire up, I dunno, 3-5 XO appliances, is there, as Tolkien would put it, "one ring to rule them all"? Or will the admin have to login to each appliance individually to manage the updates (which wouldn't be a showstopper, just wondering)?

Finally, what is vates.fr (vous êtes en France, j'imagine ?)? Are you the developers of XO, or a firm that works with customers on XO?

Thanks!

Hello, everyone!

I'm inquiring on behalf of a customer who is currently running about 500 bare-metal XCP-ng Xen servers in several data centers around the world. The primary need is to manage updates to these servers to keep Xen as current as possible to address any vulnerabilities.

I started my search on the XCP-ng.org site, and of course this lead me to XOA.
My question is about scalability - will one virtual appliance be able to handle this many servers? My customer said they tried XOA a few years back, and after having added about 200 hosts, things did not go so well.

Can anyone enlighten me on theoretical vs practical limits for one appliance?

Perhaps the solution would be to deploy several appliance and keep the number of pools and hosts on each to a more reasonable number?

Any sugggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Jacques
