BRRABill's Field Report With XenServer

@BRRABill
Ah, whoops.
I was going to suggest XOA Free's web interface, specifically the SR view that shows disk details for a given SR. I had a similar issue and that view allowed me to erase the bad vdis accurately and easily in case that person(don't remember who it was apparently) is reading this thread too. -
Set up a new 15.10 VM, and installed XO with no issues.
Man I love open source and virtualization!
-
@BRRABill Just remember that 15.10s EOL was July 28, so it will not be receiving any more updates.

I only used that because that is what everyone else is using and I got comments moving to 16.
But now I am questioning my decision.

Just an old thread. If you use Ubuntu, you update continuously. Just how it works.

This was a few weeks ago.
I think it was more a "XO doesn't support" 16, but technically they don't support anything.

"Support" is always a weird term. Microsoft doesn't support any product unless you pay for extra support. Why do people never worry that Windows isn't supported but are worried that a non-critical web application is?

I tell you what, if other software companies gave as much support as @olivier gives here for his "non-supported" software, the world would be a better place.

If only other companies knew their products as well!

For the next foray into the field of XS...
For those of you running XS, what are you doing about power management?

Multiple UPS for redundant power in case of a power outage. There is a way to get a I believe APC UPSs to work with XS.

Perhaps I should have been more specific.
How are you integrating your UPSes with XS?
-
@BRRABill this would be how it should be done.

I saw that method, but that requires a physical Windows machine, which isn't really a great option.
I am sure people here aren't doing that. ANd I know people run XS here, so just wondering.
I think I'm going to resurrect my old APC UPS and just hook it up to the network, and use local agents on all my VMs.
But again, just looking got a conversation.
-
P.S. Congrats on getting post #700 on my Field Report thread!

Maybe make a new topic, this one is quite drawn out. . .

(also it's a slow Wednesday)Well, it's only been a few minutes. I'll give it a little time, and if no bites, then I will start a new topic.

I plan on trying the "Citrix ready" Eaton IPM VM http://bit.ly/2etlIs2

That looks like a nice solution.
My Eaton is not network capable, so that would not be an option for me. (Without upgrading.)
Be very curious to hear how it goes though! Keep me/us updated!
-
@BRRABill What Eaton do you have?
