XenServer hyperconverged
-
Sounds similar to Atlantis USX.
-
Def interested in this!
-
This might be a dumb question, but where do you have XOA running in this architecture? Is it running as a VM on one of the two nodes? If so, I am very interested in this. If not, I'm still very interested...

Roughly the same principle yes (using VMs to make a storage abstraction layer)
-
@Kelly Obviously not at first (if you need XOA to bootstrap the SAN, egg/chicken problem), but it could be migrated on it right after it's operational.
-
-- I'll be curious to see how this plays out. -
Nice... Definitely interesting.

@olivier
Great news. This product keeps getting better!
File level restore, hyperconverged architecture......Per @scottalanmiller imagine if you could also manage Hyper-V in that same console?
-
Will be keeping an eye on this
will be keen to have a play (when I get two servers spare lol) -
@olivier Will there be a beta, when is the ETA?
-
Probably a beta one day, but it's really to soon to have an ETA. I'm only on preliminary tests stage, so it seems to work, I have to:
- find the right settings
- make various tests in 2 hosts scenario
- reproduce the recipe when it seems OK after tests
Then, the automatisation phase would be a bit tricky, in order to "package" a turnkey thing.
My biggest interrogation now more about speed than resiliency (which seems OK).
But sure, as soon I got a minimal viable product, I'll open a beta.

@olivier
Do you plan to support more than a 2 node setup? -
That's very likely, but one step at a time
-
@olivier Totally understand, but, you can't blame a guy for getting excited
-
Haha sure
Hope the test would be conclusive. I have no guarantee, I'm exploring.
Imagine if only I had a bigger team
Let's keep up posted!

Well at least you have some willing testers here at ML.
-
I'm very interested to learn more about how the storage will be approached.
-
@scottalanmiller I have multiple angles of attack, I'm currently benching and establishing pros/cons for each approach.
-
@olivier
I think you should move this "hyperconverged" feature up on the release schedule
-
I have file level restore on top right now
