@olivierlambert well someone had to test it

Hi im coming back to xcpng and xenorchestra.
Once ive tested almost all the hypervisors and gui I have to say that xcpng + xoce is ideal for us but i have problems with the gui usability.

All the gui we have tried are tree structured, even xcenter, why us xoce using that (for me) not friendly interface? When trying to use nodes, vm an details is not a big deal. Seems a program made by IT to be used by IT

Thats why we still use xcenter and xoce only for backups.

Could be nice to have a gui similar to proxmox, the best I used ( but they cannot manage multiple pools, here is where i discarted them)

@olivierlambert ok I will tell you how it goes
wish me luck

@rizaemet-0 thanks you've got the right. I already doing this, but I didn't know if you uninstalled it and installed a previous version.

it was just curiosity. So I'm gonna rollback to a previous snapshot too.

Thank you

hi there, yes we're using XOCE and I said that we have this problem because may be something wrong in the latests releases.

just trying to help the developers to show that there is a problem in the new versions, as I can see XOA is more tested may be because the XOCE users help to test it.

so my posts are intended to help not to complain about this wonderful product.

ok, I changed the ETHs order to make them be the same as the production server, so both pool have their ETHs numbers in the same order.

eth0,1 - management
eth2,3 - vm
eth4,5 - SAN

and now the Disaster Recovery backup set the correct NIC in the VM.

problem solved.

hi there.

a few days ago I asked this https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/2301/upgrade-move-vms-reboot?_=1577476241033

and as as by now there is no such assistant that I was used to use with xencenter and xenserver when upgrading the hosts I have developed an script that does the same, because I need a lot of time for moving, checking, rebooting just for upgrading the servere. So !

The script does the following

1. once the xcp-ng is updated
2. checks if all the running VM can be live moved
3. Disable HA
4. eject CD rom from all VMs
5. makes a inventory of the hosts
6. for each host, starting at master
		6.1 disable, evacuate and reboots
		6.2 check if its alive again from reboot
		6.3 recover the vm that were running on that host
7. Enables HA

by now I'm still learning git so I posted the script in my blog.

I tried it on my development pool and it worked fine every time, still haven't tested on production because... it's Christmas =P

obviously it can be done better, but by now it does what is wast meant to, so I'm really happy about what I have achieved in a few days.

hope it could help to someone else

Merry Christmas !

Congratulations ! Very glad to hear that !

@Danp thanks ! but I have rolled back to a previous version ( 5.50.1) and now I'm testing the backup again.

@rizaemet-0 thanks you've got the right. I already doing this, but I didn't know if you uninstalled it and installed a previous version.

Thank you

@rizaemet-0 could you tell me how have you reverted to 5.50.1 ? thanks

I have to say that I'm having the same problems.

everything is updated to the last version.

xcp-ng 8.0.0

xo-server 5.51.1
xo-web 5.51.0

ok, I changed the ETHs order to make them be the same as the production server, so both pool have their ETHs numbers in the same order.

eth0,1 - management
eth2,3 - vm
eth4,5 - SAN

and now the Disaster Recovery backup set the correct NIC in the VM.

hi, may be this gonna be a problem for another users, and may be could be an improvement for XO.

meanwhile I found this
http://www.ultimaforsan.com/logs/2011/8/10/xenserver-addremove-network-interface.html

that is useful for changing VM NIC, also tried and works fine.

and another solution is changing the order of NICs in XCP-ng
