@LonnieTC Don't try to install XCP-ng as if it's any other Linux OS. It's an appliance, you need to download the XCP-ng ISO directly, install this to your hardware and then setup your management interface (Xen Orchestra). Xen Orchestra is installable to Ubuntu.

@stormi Actually you are correct and it is call "xen" https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source I see that on the XCP-ng 8.2 ISO that you are using a variant of the 4.13 Xen hypervisor. I think that is where I will start my reading up on things. Thanks again and I appreciate your help

@olivierlambert I also just did not see the actual Hypervisor repo on the XCP-ng Github (https://github.com/xcp-ng) Thanks my friend. You are so very helpful to me as I endeavor to get deeper ingrained into XCP-ng.

For the exertion start, I have run over sensible RDP stuff from the FreeRDP project just as OGON. bestrdp (https://www.freerdp.com/) The FreeRDP project has a worked on shadow worker that may be utilized as the reason for a RDP worker and the OGON project as a comparable, however further developed, type worker that likewise considers plugable modules in that it very well may be utilized for RDP and even SPICE later on, on the off chance that I recollect effectively while I feel that they have VNC previously coded up. My musings are to discover where XCP-ng at present handles the entirety of the VNC stuff for the hypervisor which I imagine that @olivierlambert just sent the connection in order to check whether it very well may be feasible to work out likely the OGON worker from that point to permit supporting the VNC, RDP, and SPICE numerous conventions. I will take some time, yet on the off chance that all works out in a good way, the client ought to have the option to associate with any of the VM consoles (Linux, Windows, and so on) with any of these conventions and not need to do it from inside the Guest VM. At any rate that is objective

Hi All, Actually what I think that I am looking to patch into XCP-ng is a way to have a "console" Passthrough which I think would do the job perfectly. I am developing a PoC project using XCP-ng just for a heads up so some questions may sound non-standard but in my mind I have a rationale for looking in that direction so any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

@blafuente said in XenApp or similar on XCP-ng?: @nikade Great! Hope it meets your expectations and needs. If you need any help we'll be more than happy to help you out I havent gotten my free serial yet so I havent been able to test it out, but it looks pretty neat in the videos.

Thanks for the info. That really helps

Xen is doing all the CPU and memory sharing, so Xen is a type 1. Network and storage are delegate to the privileged domain (dom0).

@stormi Thanks for the links and I will start to dig in to them more to learn how it can be done. In a quick review of the links, this may be what I need since I do not think that I will actually need to re-compile XCP-ng, but just add for the setup of some additional installation steps via rpms and yum as well as some configurations at this point. This is really an experimental endeavor for the moment while it also allows me to learn more about the whole installation and setup of XCP-ng along the way.

Hi All, In some of the latest read that I have been doing, it seems that the XenServer folks were also investigating the ideas of so called "Sub Domains" or "Driver Domains" via Mini-OS and MirageOS as minimal OS's to deaggregate Dom0 to take drivers out and make them independently sufficient such that if something happens to one of them then the rest of the system remains unaffected. This links into the ideas of Unikernels but I think that a lot of this is still in the R&D phase although some great ideas, to be sure. I could see a whole set of Sub-Domains to handle just about all of the functionality that Dom0 currently manages in perhaps a future evolution. Cheers

@MajorTom Yea, I see what you mean. Just tried it yesterday with similar results.

Thanks again. I will dig into XAPI and the XO CLI to get a better feel for things. Best

It's not a trick, it's a way to do it with the CLI

From Vbox to XCP-ng: export in OVA then import with XO.

Thanks. I sure will. Hopefully the project design will go well.
