Administration

This part is about everyday XenServer administration tasks.

Infrastructure overview

The original motivation of XO was to provide a view to understand the whole infrastructure in a single page. In short, to answer the question: "where is my VM?".

Read more about it.

If you infrastructure starts to be big, it could be useful to find exactly what you need. It could be an IP address, a VM name, or a storage name: any object!

Read more about this.

Easy VM creation

Creating a VM should be trivial! That's why we are constantly improving our interface to display only what's necessary, but also allow the user to access advanced stuff when needed.

VM import and export

You can import or export a VM directly on your computer, through your web browser.

Snapshots management

Statistics

Live statistics are showing the last 10 minutes of VM/host/SR usage.

Read more about this.

Auto patching

Patching a host manually could be time consuming (and boring). That's why we provide a high level feature downloading and applying patches automatically.

Read more about this.

Batch operations

You can make simultaneous operations on many objects: like migrate a bunch of VM, or start them at the same time.

Drag'n drop live migration

You can live migrate a VM just by drag'n drop!

Read more about it.

VDI live migration

Thanks to Xen Storage Motion, it's easy to move a VM disk from a storage to another, while the VM is on!

Read more about this.

Adjusting resources

You can edit your VM RAM or CPUs in live.
