@olivierlambert interesting, I do like how xo manages all hosts in the one place. My understanding though is ha is not possible across clusters right?
I tend to pick up hosts over time, so having a homogenous cluster is practically impossible.

I'm new to xcp-ng so please bear with me. I'm in the process of rebuilding my home network and lab and have been having a play with xc-png. I'm coming from over years of running proxmox and kvm before that.
I'm trying to understand whether I can achieve the following using xc-png:
I have a cluster of 7 hosts.
I run everything virtual to easily snapshot and revert states, I'm testing a bunch of automation across hypervisors and public clouds.
Host 1,2,3,7 are connected with 10gb NICs. The others all have 1gb NICs. The NAS hosts VM drives for all but host #2
I'd love to have everything in one giant pool, and turn all bar the critical network host off at night (thus why host #2 I run VMs on local storage) to save on power. I've not found an elegant way to do this on pve. Are there any clever ideas on how I could achieve this on xcp-ng?
Also, I noticed VIFs are setup pool wide and mapped to a PIF. How do you handle hosts with different NIC counts? In the 10g boxes my PIF0 is mapped to 1g ports with is not being used (using the 10g).
NOTE - I've been able to have both AMD and Intel hosts in the same cluster in pve and live migrate guests between them. I don't think having mixed CPU vendors in the same pool works in xcp-ng. My understanding though on xcp-ng is that I can cold migrate between pools which I might be able to live with.
