        This might be a dumb question, but where do you have XOA running in this architecture? Is it running as a VM on one of the two nodes? If so, I am very interested in this. If not, I'm still very interested... 🙂

          @Danp said in XenServer hyperconverged:

          Sounds similar to Atlantis USX.

          Roughly the same principle yes (using VMs to make a storage abstraction layer)

            @Kelly Obviously not at first (if you need XOA to bootstrap the SAN, egg/chicken problem), but it could be migrated on it right after it's operational.

                  Great news. This product keeps getting better!
                  File level restore, hyperconverged architecture......

                  Per @scottalanmiller imagine if you could also manage Hyper-V in that same console?

                      @olivier Will there be a beta, when is the ETA?

                        Probably a beta one day, but it's really to soon to have an ETA. I'm only on preliminary tests stage, so it seems to work, I have to:

                        • find the right settings
                        • make various tests in 2 hosts scenario
                        • reproduce the recipe when it seems OK after tests

                        Then, the automatisation phase would be a bit tricky, in order to "package" a turnkey thing.

                        My biggest interrogation now more about speed than resiliency (which seems OK).

                        But sure, as soon I got a minimal viable product, I'll open a beta.

                          Do you plan to support more than a 2 node setup?

                            That's very likely, but one step at a time 😉

                              @olivier Totally understand, but, you can't blame a guy for getting excited 🤤

                                Haha sure 😉

                                Hope the test would be conclusive. I have no guarantee, I'm exploring.

                                Imagine if only I had a bigger team 😄

                                Let's keep up posted!

                                  Well at least you have some willing testers here at ML. 🙂

                                    I'm very interested to learn more about how the storage will be approached.

                                      @scottalanmiller I have multiple angles of attack, I'm currently benching and establishing pros/cons for each approach.

                                        I think you should move this "hyperconverged" feature up on the release schedule 😲

                                            I realize that.
                                            File restore won't be unhappy at occupying the #2 spot, will it? jk
