Your using XO to manage the Xen or XenServer installs on the HP servers, right? Wonder how compatible XO would be with Scale, if at all.

XO doesn't have to be compatible with the hardware, the OS of the VM handles that.

Which this is running on Ubuntu 15.10

Keep in mind, I don't think he is using it to manage the Scale cluster, I think it was just easy to install it there

@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.

We can now manage our XS machines from our Scale cluster. Our Scale is our core.

@DustinB3403 and I have a GitHub hosting of the script now. As it gets updated, it will update there.

@scottalanmiller Awesome! Is github free? Could I put my scripts there for storage?

not unless you want them to be public. For public open source hosting, it is free. For private, you have to pay.

If you want a small amount of private hosting, use BitBucket.

Alex Sage

@scottalanmiller Hmmmmm.....

@Bundy-Associates uses BitBucket for our private repositories. The limit is 5 users.

@JaredBusch I am 1 user

I think I want my script public anyways. I want to be able to wget them. If there private I assume I can not do that?

You can always use git to check it out.

You can still use BitBucket and have the choice of public or private as needed.

If you're not opposed to hosting your own, GitLab is really cool. 8-) -- it is a mighty close equivalent to a self-hosted GitHub.

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.

scottalanmiller

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