Xen Orchestra on Ubuntu 15.10 - Complete installation instructions

olivier

@olivier how well does XO work with APC Powerchute?

Because, that is my next goal. Get my VM's and Hosts to gracefully shutdown during a power-outage.

I strongly encourage people using it to contribute. You got 3 solutions:

using xo-cli (from anywhere) to send basic orders to xo-server
make a script using xo-lib if you want to make more advanced stuff
write a xo-server plugin to manage that. But I don't know the APC product possibilities neither its API/callback capabilities.

Also check this article: we got a feature which should be very interesting in your case @DustinB3403 : https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xenserver-emergency-shutdown/

Looks like the lodash issue is fixed. I just ran my playbook again and it installed.

LOL, I just got the script error that everyone else got. That error is the "can't even" of the IT world.

So kill the service, and then change directories into xo-web and rerun the npm installation and build commands

Once those complete, change back into xo-server and restart npm.

DustinB3403

Ran into a bug with the script let me see if I can't figure out what it is.

I ran with sudo and had errors. Running in the root shell seemed to work though.

Tweaked it, might have fixed that now. Not sure.

Lodash thing should be fixed everywhere

Did you try it with sudo? Or just from the root shell?

DustinB3403

@coliver root shell is the only version that works from what I found.

Using sudo you'll get error when the script attempts to create a few directories.

Ok that's what I found too just making sure I'm not missing anything.

I hate typing sudo 50000000 times...

so I just sudo -i if I need to run stuff as root. Easy, and done.

I've got it going on my server now.
