XenServer 7.0 issues on HP Elite 8100, 6.5 Flies.
-
Without checking under the hood to see what is or isn't supported by XS 7.0, we installed it on an HP Elite 8100 I5 with 16 Gb RAM. Barely ran in safe mode, completely dumped otherwise and got stuck in a reboot loop.
We gave up and threw on 6.5 and it sails and runs great.
Just wanted to put this out there in case anyone is thinking of using one of these boxes for a lab. -
Isn't this a desktop?
Why would you operate on a desktop footprint? I'm glad 6.5 worked for you, but it's still odd that you'd go down this path. I hope it's just for testing.

@DustinB3403 We needed to create a test lab. At this time we have no spare servers. For our purposes, these boxes work fine.

I have a HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF as my XS 7.0 test box. Works great!
I don't see any issue with a lab box being PC based.

Yeah. My "oh s***" box is a Dell T3500. It stood in for the server while it got upgraded to XS7 from XS6.
