How do you manage XenServer? Do you have to use the CLI since you have it without XenCenter or whatever?
-
@scottalanmiller They have a control panel you can install anything that they have available. Sadly I don't see a way to add a custom ISO ether.

How do you connect up to it after they have it installed?
-
@scottalanmiller I download XenCenter from there website and install it. Then all I had to do was enter the IP address, username and password
-
@dafyre SSH or XenCenter.

So you run XC locally and connect to an openly exposed XS installation?
-
@scottalanmiller for now yes. What do you suggest I do to secure the install?
-
Wow.. and it only has an IPv6 address, eh?
-
@Dashrender no one IPv4 is provided.
-
What about server backups? Do they handle that at all?
-
@dafyre They don't. Unmanaged. I am going to use Unitrends Free to S3
-
That's too bad. But that would explain why it isn't for production. Restores of a 2TB server would take quite a while. The maximum pipe speed appears to be 100Mb/s.
-
That would be a 45 hour download to get a full backup of the full space back if you had to do a full restore of the full storage amount assuming you were able to hold a full 100Mb/s the entire time, which you can't. More realistically you'd be looking at half a week to a week to restore a full system.
-
@scottalanmiller How would you do a 2TB restore when the free version only allows 1TB?
-
At the very high end I would have 160GB, likely much less.

That's a UT limitation. So in your case you can't even back the whole thing up
But as a general issue with the platform, if you use XO to do your backups for example, you'd have to wait nearly a week to restore.

Not having console access and the ability to mount an ISO is a big deal =/

Unless you are going to use XenServer.... Then you can create your own ISO repository for XS and then upload your isos into that folder.

Sure, but what if something goes wrong with XS?
