BRRABill's Field Report With XenServer
-

I exported my XO VM from my test server, and imported onto the production server.
Came right back up. Awesome.

That is how it's supposed to work, all of the time.
Congratulations.

With any Hypervisor.

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.
