Hi there. Prepare for my posts

little off-top, any one know how to prevent status screen from going blank? I would like to see those information all the time

@xisco is this XCP thing? or citrix?

about pausing VM - this is default behavior in Hyper-V server and is work flawless - restarting server prior to some MS patching - all vm are going nicely to sleep and after boot resumes accordingly.

@MD389 in below config it does not create the iso smb share on selected server

New --> Storage --> Then select SMB from the "Select storage type" dropdown list.

Did the trick. Thank's for solution

And what about CR?

Obviously, you have a problem on DR/VM export mechanism (XVA). Also 8.1 will bring an improved XVA generation system, that will solve your issue.

I'm planning the upgrade from 7.6 to 8.x in about 3-4 months, also I'll build the test environement. I'll see how it goes.

Hi

I can see repetable questions on this forum, indeed xcp lacks of good documentation. But also I don't think github is the best way to make docs. I think Sphinks is better example here: https://wiki.opnsense.org - what do You think about that?

OPNsense, Debian 9, Untangle, Ubuntu 16, 19, Windows is possible?

How much RAM do you allocate to Dom0 on your hosts

16GB to dom0, but the backup speed is still dramatic - in Disaster Recovery its a few mB/s. Nothing has changed from since then. I think this is dead end, and will have to make some business desicions regarding the hypervizor when jumping next year.

Hi

I've a problem with freezing Windows VMs after applaying latest updates - do You know anything about it? Those vms have guest tools from citrix.

I actually understund this guy thinking: governamet gives money and... take over control of how this project will lead. Or maybe a backdoor here and there... That's what bothers him/her.

RIght now I had this simple scenario in my mind - ping vm a if no respond x time kill vm a, start vm b, but the workflow could do much more in much sofisticated way, for example in opmanager from manage engine i can build almost endless scenariors for what to do if there is alarm trigered

Hi
I didn't write up much becouse wanted to check if this's possible.
ping - icmp or other component
custom program is what I want to avoid, if I woud have it in xoa, then I simpy export xoa config file which as I presume contains all neccesery information to restore full config after xoa reinstallation

Hi

quick question:
can Xoa do actions like this (oob)

• ping vm A and in case of failure, shutdown vm A, and start vm B?

Do You plan to implement some kind of WORKFLOWs in xoa?
