BRRABill's Field Report With XenServer
-
Yes, but things always seem to have a habit of ... not working properly.

But only if they share storage, correct?
If it is using Xen's migrate system, yes.
XO will migrate a VM between local storage on two XS.
-
Figure 1: me actually lurking in this thread
-
So, what is the official answer from up there?
-
Can XO migrate a VM fro one standalone XS to another XS?
-
Can you migrate the VM that XO is running on? (That gave me a "no can do" error.)
-
-
The VM that I exported seems to have created a vApp.
What is that?
-
- Yup
- Yup
But you need to define a default SR on any pool you got. Eg:
xe pool-param-set uuid=<pool-uuid> default-SR=<sr-uuid>
(with the SR UUID of the local storage if you don't have a shared storage).You can also do it with XenCenter or XO (see https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/set-the-xenserver-default-sr/ )
A live migration won't interrupt the VM, so even with XO on it: doesn't matter.

But to clarify ... you DON'T need a pool? or do you?

Yes, as @Danp said, there is always a pool: a "single" host is by default in a pool with no name label.
XenCenter choose to hide this, not us.

Converted my first physical server to a production XS this morning.
So far, so good.

Question:
On the new production server, it is not reporting the space taken by my new VM.
This is what is says:
Total: 871.8 GiB
Currently used: 5.2 GiB
Available: 866.5 GiBBut for example the new VM I migrated over has at least 100GB.
Why would it not be reporting this?

Thin provisioning?

you have to refresh. Refresh doesn't happen automatically.

Ah.
What is this? 1973?

I kinda asked/thought the same thing. Having to manually fresh, or relaunch the application just seems odd.

Did refreshing it solve the problem?
