hi there.

I'm senior engineer.
I work as a sysadmin for about 25 years (and all you can imagine related to computers) in a town hall, city is about 30.000 citizen.

I started using vmware 4.0, from there we migrate to XenServer 6.5 from there to 7.1. Then once I saw the magic movement of Citrix towards 7.3 and its limits I began to study alternatives.

Basically I was goint to oVirt (Red Hat virtualization open source community solution), and then appeared XCP-ng and I also began to study it.

We have two remote CPD, and in one of them I have the testing machines (3 servers + fibre channel storage), on that one I'm testing XCP-ng 7.4.1 and also XenOrchestra which provides a huge functionality and add-ons to XCP-ng (or XenServer) that are really useful (for example backup-ng).

So, for those advantages I will try to keep on XCP-ng, because it has XO, I don't have to do a lot of VM migration, due XenServer and XCP-ng are 99% identical, and also the community and the professionals, they always try to help you and the software and its characteristics are always evolving and getting better.

I have to way that I really excited about 7.5 XCP-ng because I think is going to be the path to follow.

well, thats all !

thanks for all.

@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 the new wiki is Oh là là

@olivierlambert hi there, I'm in a non-IT related department, very quiet.
long story, stress, poor payment, low resources... I think I will be happier here.

by the way I will keep on the email subscription so I keep informing on how is your way going.

good luck with your projects !!

@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.
