@Greg_E At this time we do not have the financial resources to purchase new boards.

@nikade @olivierlambert I created two Linux VMs and ran the below bandwidth and disk tests:

@nikade Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet

I will try to list more information.

@olivierlambert See the settings:

• Network for pool:

• Network for host 1 of Pool:

• Network for host 2 of Pool:

• Switch Dell: MTU 9216

• MTU on all Storage SCSI interfaces:

@nikade Yes, the VM is using shared storage. My storage network is 10G with the MTU of 9000. I don't use multipathing for interfaces. I'm thinking there's something wrong with the settings.

@olivierlambert The interface used for direct communication with storage is eth5.

Hi. I created a Linux VM for testing. It has a 10 GB disk. The MTU of the communication network between the hosts in the pool and the Dell storage is 9000.

When I try to migrate this VM between storage volumes, using XO, the time is more than 6 minutes. Is this time normal for the size of the VM?

Could I check some settings to try to improve this time?

I saw the links below, but I still have questions:

@olivierlambert Your company is fantastic! Since I started testing XCP-NG and XO, I've seen a lot of new things. Congratulations again.

@olivierlambert Thanks for sharing this tool. I'll test it!

When reading the documentation, I had a question. If my internet link becomes unavailable, I will not be able to get XO Lite as I will not be able to download the code from Vates' servers to fully run the application. In the final version of XO Lite, do you intend to make the application completely available so that it can be run on the server side?
