Also another thing is that XCP-ng it is finally able to support UEFI boot which was nice.

@anthonyh Awesome! Great job!

Staying up to date on the updates is pretty critical for XO. They update things frequently. You'll be running this update script a lot.

A really nice thing about XO is you can import and not power on.

So you can remove the NIC and then power on. If it works, you know you're in good shape.

So I was able to make another array, and was also able to make an SR on that array. It's still strange that I'm not able to use thin provisioning by default on install, but for now, it's working.

Got it! Thanks a lot. 🙂

You're welcome.

I've never overcommitted memory. No idea 🙂

First thing is you're going to want to set up an ISO share so you can start launching VMs. I set up a CIFS share so that I can just put ISOs into a folder on my workstation and have XenCenter automatically be able to mount them.

I don't want this on my workstation. Does XenServer not have a method to locally store files someplace?

With Hyper-V I can just drop iso files in a folder on the C/D/E/Whatever drive.
With VMWare I can upload iso files to a folder on the the datastore.

As @DustinB3403 linked you have to add it from cli through the Dom0. Kind of stupid if you ask me.

May be kinda stupid, but considering they have a Dom0, kinda makes sense. It's the same in Hyper-V. ESXi is the odd-man out here, but then, there's no Dom0 there.

I understand since the Dom0 doesn't have much room, but they should give you the option to mount a usb through XenCenter though.

They don't, I believe, because they want the XC interface to be easy for people working with pool, which is the majority of their base. Using a USB drive on a single host makes a lot of sense when you have only one host but when you have a lot of them it would potentially get really confusing.
