Awesome Update!! You got me into using XCP-NG.. I also used one of your videos to fix the PV drivers in order to get the Win VM working correctly. I'm going to be testing the 8.0 beta this weekend.
Good stuff , very cool lab / production environment , Tom I like the way you say how simple it is lol , kind of misleading , there was a lot of work that went into it , think about all the hours combined lol , keep up the good work … and keep smiling thanks a bunch :-)
Hi tom! great video as always, but I have a few points/questions: 1. You should screw in all devices in the bottom when using only 2 screws 2. why do you have 3 different cables on the test pfsense? for performance reasons?
@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS 1. I mean if you screw them in the bottom only, gravity will not pull sideways on the screw, but rather will put some force on the rack 2. but you could have done that with VLANs on one cable, right?
@38:20 - xcp-ng is opensource? when? or is it from the open source of XenServer(which i don't think is open)? is it on GitHub? can anyone compile the source of xcp-ng?
Tom, love your video series on the XCP-NG and XOA. I'm setting up my home lab with two R620s for XCP-NG servers and R720XD for the back end storage server. Each server has quad 1Gbps ethernet and dual 10Gbps SFP+. I'm having a heck of a time setting up the network similar to your lab setup. XOA is very non-intuitive in setting up non-management network interface. Can you do a focused video demonstrating and explaining the network configuration for the XCP-NG servers and how to allocate the network interface to a VM? Also, please explain the MTU setting on the host vs pool network setting. It's very confusing.
What I just can't seem to wrap my mind around is, in xcp-ng there's the management interface, is that just for managing xcp-ng or can/is that generally also used to manage the vms? I have 2 servers, one dell used for storage and iscsi boot for my hp server. dell has 2 nics, one dedicated for iscsi. hp has 4 gig nics and 1 10gig, the dell doesnt have room for a 10gig connection with current available parts. so one of the gig nics is dedicated for iscsi boot. was planning on trying to use the other ports to help facilitate virtualizing pfsense. I'm not a complete noob when it comes to networking, took the first ccna course at the local college, but I guess all the layers has me boggled, maybe someone can help explain it in a different way that clicks. Thank you
Wow. There is REALLY NOTHING NEW in IT!!! If you get ‘surprised’ about the ‘advances’ in software, it tells me you were never a programmer. The people that understand this stuff, from the silicon, the electronics and all the way to the logic and software, have been waiting for things to get ‘serious’ and real and we are getting there just NOW! You will understand soon when FPGAs (whaat??) start appearing in your cpu....
This Channel is a blessing for all Junior Systemadministrators, keep this good work up ! :)

Can you do a video on how you setup your pfsense virtualizaiton?
amazing video as usual tom!

I'd love to see how hardware passthrough is done with xcp-ng.
good stuff. What was the software you used to create the layout?
It's called yEd Graph Editor.

Great...tks from Lisbon - Portugal
6:38 I put in a 16 port 1 GB TP-Link switch in our office, it's been going strong 24/7 for 3 years now...; $79....!
Excellent video. Really appreciate it.

1. You should screw in all devices in the bottom when using only 2 screws

1.) Being Lazy
2.) three physical interfaces configured WAN/LAN/LAN2

Virtualize all the things !!!

Yes, it's all on GitHub.

amazing job, thank you
@19:48 - host only nic, so if you have two hosts with same named host-only-nic, they can't communicate with each other?
You can, but that require loading and configuring a tool such as Open vSwitch
Lawrence Systems / PC Pickup
What!?
Don’t they use a simple virtual NIC that is just doing NAT (or bridging) among them??
Tp link switches and aps are good for the price there routers are kind of trush
Wow.
