If it's not, it's a bug 😛

Hi,

Remotes and SRs aren't managed the same way by XO.

XO is connected directly to the remotes to do some read/write operations, unlike SRs which is connected to them via XCP-ng.

So the SRs aren't directly managed by XO, but are managed using the XCP-ngs' XAPI and we are limited to what the XAPI provides as information.

Hi @olivierlambert , cool. Thank you. That makes clear for me now.

Hi @anchen

Thanks for the feedback that will be helpful to build the new UI from scratch 🙂 Pinging @pdonias @badrAZ and @badrAZ about this

Yes indeed, in CR, you'll send a copy of the disk toward a destination SR. But still, the snapshot is made on the same storage.

However, I get your point, and I think in theory, it could be doable with some heavy changes in the storage stack (to have a snapshot located "elsewhere"). However, for each read in the VHD chain, you'll have to read on multiple storage at once, which can be complicated technically speaking (especially if they are shared)

Hi @olivierlambert ,

gotcha, no worries. I will just leave it there. Thank you for the reply.
