      @johnhooks We'll re-create it for multiple reasons:

      • we stacked a lot of features inside something not planned for that
      • so from a dev point of view, the code is messy
      • from a user point of view, it's not really coherent everywhere
      • we got perf issues for big infrastructure (1500+ VMs)

      Thanks to our experience now, we can rebuild it from scratch with a LOT more in mind. It allows:

      • a nice refactoring from the dev point of view
      • using React+Flux for a fully component oriented software
      • thinking "components" is far far better for dev but also for building generic and powerful UIs
      • display only what's important

      An example for the VM view:

      And with a legend:

      Be advised, that's a draft; we already made some changes since.

        That does look nice. It's not going to be that font though is it? 😛

          @johnhooks haha nope, that's something designed with Paper, IIRC (by my associate, who is ergonomist and spend our IT budget in Apple iStuff hardware 😉 )

              I'm very excited to play with Continuous Delta Backups!

                We packaged a binary for offline merging into XOA. You'll have to build it yourself because our version is not portable so far.

                Clone https://github.com/rubiojr/vhd-util-convert, make and put the vhd-util binary inside xo-server/bin/

                We didn't had enough time to make a portable stuff for 4.12

                    cd xo-server/bin
                    git clone https://github.com/rubiojr/vhd-util-convert
                    sudo apt-get -y uuid-dev build-essential
                    cd vhd-util-convert
                    make
                    ls
                    cp vhd-util ~/xo-server/bin
                    

                    Appears to work, has the WebGui been updated with a new Backup title for Delta or no?

                      No new thing in the web UI for continuous delta, it's automatic. If you are on next-release, it should already work now.

                      edit: it's the same job/backup thing. So restart after update, and re-run your backup jobs. You'll see the oldest delta merged in the full.

                        eh, I've completely forgotten how to jump to the next-release....

                        Not enough coffee.

                          Don't forget to copy the vhd-util binary directly in xo-server/bin. The vhd-util-convert folder is useless after the make!

                            Think I got it.

                            Have to test. Does that look correct?

                                Due to problem with XAPI and metadata import, I decided it's more safe to write ourselve a solution to avoid use of those metadata. XAPI team told me that the code around this is not in a good shape...

                                So postponed for Monday. Sorry guys, there is some stuff we can't guess before we got trouble inside XAPI ^^

                                edit: at least our QA pass is useful ^^

                                  Maybe time to update XAPI 🙂

                                    @mlnews Problem is also in next XenServer version. So we'll have better luck to write our own solution/workaround for this!

                                      @olivier question for you.

                                      I Migrated a VM from a shit-box XenServer, and it's running on the other host, but Xen Orchestra doesn't see this VM on the Host.

                                      Any ideas?

                                        So here is a system that I've been running with the Continuous Backup functionality.

                                        Which I scheduled to run every 5 minutes. I would say it works unless the fulls in the 3rd picture should be completely gone.

                                        I know the first picture says, "every hour on the hour" it's simply because I changed the frequency in which the backup runs.

                                          I think because it was a previous delta job, it didn't modified some old files (I'm not certain of the behavior when changing in the middle of a previous delta job, I didn't personally coded this part ^^)

                                          So is it still working or not?

                                          If not, delete the old backup files, it will re-create the right things accordingly.

                                            @olivier I'll purge them and have them run every hour.

                                            Will post some new picture tomorrow from home.
