Home Lab Hypervisor

Nice. That will be fun.

Server arrived early and everything was as expected. I've got XenServer installed and my first VM deployed. So little work required to configure everything. Install from the XenServer iso and most everything is done!
I spun up and configured an OpenVPN server on a CentOS 7 minimal install and had VPN connectivity to my home network in no time!
I must say I like XenCenter on Windows 10. I've previously been using virt-manager (when not using qemu-img and virsh at the console) with the KVM hypervisors I work with, but wow is XenCenter more polished.
As soon as I have time I'm going to sit down and deploy/configure a XenOrchestra VM and compare the functionality between XenCenter and XO firsthand. I also plan to get the backup vm backup script in place and setup. A near-future project may involve configuring an old HP Desktop to function as a BSD-based NAS for storing backups...
Anywho... Thanks again for all of the input, I'm pleased with the outcome thus far.

I'm actually setting up an XO VM right now...
Great minds.
From what I saw though, in a future release (coming soon...) they are building in incremental backup functionality to XO.
Which is AWESOME.
