    • RE: Watchdog for reboot VM when it's broken(no respond).

      @cbaguzman Watchdog client service talks to ipmi module on hardware, or service on vm host if running virtualized, providing a heartbeat. If the heartbeat isn't received by the host, then a power cycle is initiated. In xen this would likely be via a xe vm-reset-powerstate command, but I haven't looked at the documentation

      In short, watchdog works by host or hardware listening for the heartbeat, then hits a hard reset if doesn't hear it. All the guest does is send heartbeats to host watchdog server,
      You can't expect your host to reboot itself if it's locked up, that's the point of it.

    • RE: Ignition and creating a SUSE MicroOS VM

      @parallax I'd assume so. You'd just have that combustion iso provided as a disk image with each to provide the initial setup. I've not looked at custom template creation in XO

      Otherwise you'd be looking at pxe and tftp, or better, use opensuse build services with kiwiNG to customize your own appliance with preconfigured settings etc.

    • RE: Updates announcements and testing

      @Louis said in Updates announcements and testing:

      I am completely lost in relation to the way new software or updates are released.

      • If I download the actual file, I get exactly the same file as I used to get for months
      • there is an 8.2.1 which is not visual in the release overview
      • I would have expect that an update has the name 8.2.2 ........

      So, I am lost .....

      This is not a major release triggering a dot version update. This is a set of patches.

      yum update

    • RE: Ignition and creating a SUSE MicroOS VM

      Provide combustion via an iso mounted. Idea behind combustion/ignition is a usb plugged in, or pass through a usb if you already created one.

      follow instructions on building the combustion file, drop in a folder named combustion. use whatever tool you want to move this folder into an iso, and label the iso itself combustion. Basically same steps as creating the combustion usb.

    • RE: SMAPIv3 - Feedback & Bug reports

      Am testing ext4-ng and noted that the vdi's it creates are not matching their uuid on filesystem. If I look at the ext4 file structure itself they are simply labeled 1, 2, 3 etc.
      -Good news is I could create a 3TB vdi on this sr within xoa without having to use the command to force it as raw

      I tried a raw-device sr but still get error that driver not recognized. Assuming plugin still not in

      You can script mount and umount commands as part of jobs or as part of backup jobs.

    • RE: XCP / XO and Truenas Scale or Core

      @mauzilla Use core, it's more dedicated to just being a NAS.
      Scale has kvm hypervisor and pod management features which would add unnecessary overhead when you just want NFS storage repository.

    • RE: Difference between "pool", "host" and "server".

      Pool is resource pool, yes.

      pool can consist of multiple hosts which can live migrate VMs

      Server = host

      @JustinTimperio I can test SLES for you, I'm a SUSE partner so have access. Here's output from a sles11.4,12.4, 12.5, 15 and 15.1. Sorry don't have a sles15.2 spun up (only leap15.2) but easy enough to extrapolate.
      Best way to get stuff into their official distro is to have it build on OBS

      Ok, thanks for the update. Wasn't expecting production ready, was just curious on status and if was safe to run tests with it which sounds like not.

      @olivierlambert @ronan-a Has there been any update on this development? I do see an update to master in org.xen.xapi.storage.raw-device from feb 2020. is it more safe to test now?
