Hello XCP-ng Center users,
Citrix (or Cloud Software Group, Inc.) has ended the open source development of their XenCenter as noted here:
With that, for me its basically over, because the XenCenter codebase is the foundation of XCP-ng Center and I can not maintain this huge C# software with my limited time without this code base.
Today I released a nightly build for you all to test with XCP-ng 8.3 (beta): https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.99.99.99.30
If all goes well and nothing pops up, this will be the base for the last XCP-ng Center Release 2023.12.
In the future I want to contribute to the web gui XO Lite, to get as much XCP-ng Center vibes into it, so we have a good alternative to XCP-ng Center soon.
Here you can follow the XO Lite progress: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/category/24/xo-lite
Thanks for all the help and feedback!
Hello together,
to avoid more and more confusion about the pieces of the XCP-ng Universe, I'll try to describe what is what.
The Hypervisor, the Host, the Virtualisation Server: XCP-ng
This is the thing you install on bare hardware, it consists of:
It's exact the same concept like CITRIX XenServer or CITRIX Hypervisor. XCP-ng is derived from them. Something like a fork, but not so hard.
The basic management software, the windows client, the thing with the tree: XCP-ng Center
EOL-Notice: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/8202/xcp-ng-center-has-come-to-an-end
It's derived from CITRIX XenCenter.
The advanced management software, the web client, the backup solution and more: XenOrchestra
It's not derived from anything (as far as I know).
The ready to use XenOrchestra, the appliance: XOA
The company behind: Vates
Olivier Lambert and his company Vates startet all the jazz. They provide pro support for XCP-ng (the host) and XenOrchestra. They help to sign XCP-ng Center and the XCP-ng Windows Client Tools (and drivers) with an proper EV certificate.
Happy Easter!
I hope you are all well at and in good condition.

Hello XCP-ng Center users!
I found some time for XCP-ng Center and put together a quick and dirty version with the latest upstream changes from https://github.com/xenserver/xenadmin.
It works with XCP-ng 8.3 beta.
Download and Info here: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/issues/213#issuecomment-1872581194
Hello Community!
I hope you all had a good start into year 2020!
I decided to change the way I release XCP-ng Center due the lack of other people participating in development. In future I will only release builds based on the master branch of CITRIX XenCenter (https://github.com/xenserver/xenadmin).
Pro:
Contra:
Within this change the version schema will also change. I think I use the YEAR.MONTH schema, so the next release will be "XCP-ng Center 2020.01".
The first step in this direction is the pre-relase of the current nightly build 99.99.99.27: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v99.99.99.27
The "quick" release of XCP-ng Center 20.04.01 for compatibility with XCP-ng 8.2 ist alive:
https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v20.04.01.33
@stormi Heyho! I'll try to find some time. But first I'll setup an XCP-ng 8.2 host
If you have problems to install Citrix(TM) or XCP-ng Windows Guest Tools, please try the first working version of this tool:
https://schulzalex.de/builds/xcp-ng/XCP-ng-Windows-Guest-Tools-Cleaner_alpha_1.0.0.0.zip
Hello all together!
I started to build a little tool, that should help to find the problems before installing/updating the Guest Tools in a Windows VM. For now its only a first start, but it can grow to a very usefull tool.
Any constructive help or hint is very welcome!
Later (so my plans) it should be a part of a new Guest Tools Installer.

Hello, I did today a quick test with GlusterFS. Here is a quick HowTo: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/GlusterFS
Please feel free to contribute! (to the wiki and here)
And what changes they push to github...
We prepared a pre-release of our PV-Drivers and the Management Agent for you to play with:
https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases/tag/v7.5.0-testsigned-testmode
The drivers are not signed properly, but this will happen as soon as possible. To test the drivers, you have to enable the so called "test mode" on windows, which allows to load testsigned drivers for testing
Make backups! Make Snapshots! So you can rollback if your windows dont want to boot anymore.
So please test and report back here! Thanks for your help!
@eexodus said in Testing ZFS with XCP-ng:
zpool create -f tank /dev/sda
If you have 4k disks (aka Advanced Format) use ashift=12
zpool create -o ashift=12 -f tank /dev/sda
I would say, for the first testing, please use:
zfs set sync=disabled tank
zfs set compress=lz4 tank
zfs set atime=off tank
pool/discs can be live monitored with
zpool iostat -v 1
Hello Community,
I managed to build the XCP-ng Management Agent. Can you please test it?
It's the development version 99.99.99.3, so please use only for test environments. I wanted to know if it's working correctly. I tested to assing a static IP to my Windows 10 Test vm, it worked

Hi!
I was always confused by the weird numbers XenCenter / XCP-ng Center showed me in the graph section. Is it bytes or bits?
So here is my idea to change the layout to this for the next release, XCP-ng Center 8.0.1:
Please give your opinion and hints here: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/issues/92
Thanks!
I published a nigthly build: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v99.99.99.29
