    • RE: Xen Orchestra VM freezes after first login

      As @Danp mentioned, try building XO from source again - this time, use a different build tool. I used this particular script and it worked fine for me. I simply spun up a clean Debian 10 VM and ran the installer script.

      Not sure if your build script has problems.

    • XOA Backup/Restore Screen - enhancement suggestions

      I am working through our backup/restore testing and noticed a few areas in the XOA GUI that could use some enhancements. I will open a github request to track them but thought I would share it on the forum as well.

      • In the Overview window, add a button on each job to show the job summary (VMs, SRs, job schedule, etc). Right now, you have to edit the job to get these details.

      • In the Overview window, add a button next to each log entry at the bottom to show the entire backup log for each job (or a link to the log somewhere) - not just a summary.

      • In the Overview window, add functionality to show a visual summary for all scheduled jobs - maybe using a calendar style interface (minute/hour/day/week). This is to help avoid running too many backups at the same time.

      • In the Overview window, add functionality to show backup jobs broken down by Pools. In other words, list the backup jobs Site, Pool, and then Name. This is especially true if you are managing multiple sites.

      • In the Restore Window, suggest to add the UUID field in the column list since multiple VMs can share the same VM Name. In addition, the UUID helps correlate the directory on the backup server where the backups live. Right now, we don't know which VM to restore just by using the name. Perhaps add some other details (IP Address, etc) to the column list to better identify the VM.

      • In the Restore window, add functionality to provide a summary when a particular restore is highlighted. The summary would show things like VM details, directory where the backup is stored, timestamps for each job, etc

      • In the Restore window, add functionality to see the entire backup log for each job (similar to above). This would help pinpoint any potential issues with the backup job. Additionally, suggest these backup logs get saved to the backup server(s). The backup logs are needed for both locations (Overview and Restore windows) since the details in the Restore window may be pulled from the backup server in case of XOA recovery from scratch.

      • In the Restore window, suggest moving the search box to the top of the list instead of bottom-right. This search box has a tendency to dynamically move on the screen which is a bit odd. Suggest moving it to the same line as the "Refresh backup list" box.

      • In the Restore window, we would like to see a pagenation box that allows for more than 10 per page. In other words, enable a drop-down box to have 50 or 100 backups shown on a single page - just like the Home--VM page

    • RE: Xen Orchestra VM freezes after first login

      @kingmaiku The fact your ssh session gets disconnected says alot about what is going on. Either a networking issue on the host side (linux bond mode misconfigured) or a duplicate IP address would definitely cause this problem. Look at your network to see what might be wrong...

      Duplicate IP Address by chance?

    • RE: Question about live migration and a few others...

      For item #1, I think the confusion is VM migration vs storage migration. VM migration implies moving the VM to a different host/server, while storage migration means moving the VDIs to a different SR. When you have a standalone host, it is my understanding you have to shutdown the VM to migrate it (not move VDI disks).

      For item #2, I navigated to Pools-->Network and was able to rename both the network name and description simply by clicking on the item. I was NOT able to do this by navigating to Host-->Network. But, again, my hosts are in a pool. Maybe show a screenshot?

    • RE: [WARNING] XCP-ng Center shows wrong CITRIX updates for XCP-ng Servers - DO NOT APPLY - Fix released

      @olivierlambert Oliver - do you guys have a feature request tracking page for XO6? I would really like to give some real-world (production) viewpoints to your next tool. Like other people, I have to switch between both tools (XO and XO Center) to get my job done, thus, I am hoping the version will help avoid that problem.
