 @Dashrender said: @scottalanmiller said: I'm back. Lost power there for the second time today, just you or the whole island? Well I did not drive around doing a survey or anything. I imagine that it wasn't just us. There is only one power plant on the island, I think. But we are nearly as wide as Ohio, so I have no idea where power is affected.

 Installing XenServer for the first time

 @alex.olynyk said: Installing XenServer for the first time Hell yes! You will likely enjoy the benefits of it several fold compared to the competition.

 @DustinB3403 I played with free ESXi a while back and thought it was time to try something new 
- 
 Free ESXi should only ever be used to realize why you shouldn't be using ESXi.  It's so gutted that it's worthless in every market share...

I haven't found that to be the case. Other than not paying the $600 essentials license, and $125/yr for new versions, XenServer hasn't been OMG I can't believe I didn't move before. Now, if I had been on Hyper-V this whole time.. yeah I'd be happy as a pig in sh*t, single pain to control, see everything, just like VMWare - yes please!

LOL - don't get me wrong - XenServer is fine - I've had no problems with it since I stood it up 2 weeks ago. In fact I'm configuring a production server in it right now. and if you have already spent the $600 on Essentials - I don't really see a reason to change (especially if your backups work directly at the VM level and don't support an agent). But if you're standing up something new - yeah, you should definitely check out XS. 
- 
 XenServer installed. How do I connect to it? 
- 
 You'll need XenCenter to get started, open a web browser from your system and enter the IP address of the XS server to download the client.

 Connected to host with XenCenter. I have an ISO on my laptop I want to use to create a VM. I dont see an option to browse my local drive. Am I missing something?
