I'm not exactly sure how to install the guest tools. I see the iso, but am I supposed to install it in the XCP-ng OS or in each individual VM that I create?
Thanks.

This is the window I get for my VMs. I can access it if I open up Putty or Bitevise, but those are extra steps.
I am familiar with Proxmox which allows me to just open up a console of the VM directly from their Web GUI, although no copy/paste function while using QEMU...

@badrAZ said in Open Console of VM in new dedicated Window:

Hi,

This functionality is not been yet implemented, It will be available in Xen Orchestra V6. There is the associated issue, please follow it to get its evolution.

Thank you @olivierlambert as well. I have added that project and wil keep a watch on it as it develops.

I have sever servers setup now, now I need to figure out how to work with the SDN Controller fo experiment with that functionality.

@Danp
For me, the SSH buttons are greyed out. I only have the option of the keyboard of Ctrl+Alt+Del
Thanks.

Is it possible to open the VM Console in a new window? Or only as an embedded one within the XO webpage?

@olivierlambert
Is there a list of commands in which I could use to navigate XCP-ng without a GUI using just the SSH or command line?

I removed the defunct XOA VM which was taking up 20GB, but it still shows only 14GB free out of 58GB

I think I saw somewhere that XCP-ng is closely related to Centos? or Debian... Is that correct or not really?

Thanks.

@olivierlambert
Which one is the system partitions?
I am SSH'd into the system and this is the output from lsblk

If I installed XO on a different VM, then both would have to be on and can talk to each other in order to administrate XCP-ng. I'm just trying to figure out what the best options right now.

Initially I had set my drives to have 100GB of space, after install it showed I had 58GB free. and now after install XOA it shows 14GB free. I had 2x 100GB drives installed as Software Raid1.
Somehow I need to free up some space...

@Danp
I don't have a bare metal system available for it right now. I did in the past, but it seems like some things have changed.
I am running it in Virtualbox 6.0.14. Under Settings->System->Hardware
Virtualization is enabled, but the nested feature under processor is greyed out.
I have many other VMs already working with Virtualbox, from Ubuntu, CentOS to Windows.
Thank you so much for chiming in.

Thank you so much @Biggen. I think I was coming to that conclusion last night that whatever happened it was going to be installed as a separate VM. I'm guessing that means I need to set the VM where XO is running to autostart if I was a web GUI to be accessible whenever XCP-ng is running.

The other part was that XOA was having trouble with the install on my particular machine.

I am trying to understand the setup and configuration of Xen Orchestra or even the Community edition. So far I have not been able to get it running successfully. The first time I kept getting reports that I had insufficient space. So I reinstalled XCP-ng on a larger drive from 60GB to 100GB. This time I did not get any errors initially.
Then I get a code 1
message No Hosts Available
Data.
....?

I am also trying to figure it out. Does orchesta community or commercial version always install as a VM? Or can it be installed into the XCP-ng installation directly? Does this mean I have to have the XCP-ng Server running, also have the Separate XO VM running as well in order to have a web gui? What is the difference with XOA? or are they all the same thing as XO?
thank you.
