More details about the XS-Management-Suite features...

XenTools-Update

With XenTools-Update you can do automatic updates of the XenTools installed in your virtual machines. Also if the VMs has no tools installed you can install them for many machines using this feature. And all this absolutely agent less so that you not have to install anything inside your virtual machines.

Change Poolmaster

Using this tool will make the daily work with XenServer much easier. Changing the master will no longer be an expert job accessing the command line and running xe commands to change the master. Easily right click your server in XenCenter and designate it as the new pool master. Thats it. Change pool master then will define this host as the new master of the pool.

DVD-Manager

With DVD-Manager you have always the right view on your virtual machines DVD drives. DVD Manager shows you which ISO file is mounted on which virtual machine and you can selective eject the ISO files from a set of virtual machines. Also you can eject all ISOs from all of your virtual machines and follow by this way a best practice in virtual environments which lets DVD drives stay empty.

DVD-Manager is able to work with virtual machines which have attached multiple DVD drives.

An additional function of DVD-Manager is to show you which virtual machine has no DVD drive and so is never able to mount any DVDs.

Storage-Analyzer

With Storage-Analyzer you can get a deep and detailed look into your storage repositories. Storage-Analyzer will show you detailed informations about all your virtual disks on your storage repositories and how they are chained with other virtual disks. It supports all kind of storage types like FC, iSCSI, NFS or ext3. You do know the capacity of a virtual disk but do you also know how much space the complete chain is using on your storage and how much of this used space is shared with other virtual hard disks?

Storage-Analyzer will bring you all the informations and present the analyzed data in different views. You can select between a VM view, a VDI view, a storage repository view or just see the plain output of your storage repository.

New is the ability to find unused disks. Unused disks are VDIs that are not connected or used by any virtual machine and only wasting your storage. 

Template-Converter

Creating Templates is a irreversible process in an XenServer environment. When you set up your virtual machine and decide to convert this VM into a template you are never able to modify your template because you cannot reconvert or start a template in XenServer. Template-Converter lets you reconvert a template to a virtual machien so that you at any time can modify your template e.g. with additional hotfixes and keep your base installation up to date at any time.

VM-Manager

With VM-Manager you can create virtual machine placement profiles for your XenServer resource pool. Placing VMs as you want and store this placement with just one click to a placement profile. If at any time you want to move you virtual machines back to their defined XenServer hosts just one click is enough and all VMs will be migrated to their configured host. Also you have the ability to start or stop virtual machines with your defined profile. When creating a profile two parts are stored in the profile: the location of a virtual machine and the power state. By using a placement profile the virtual machines will be migrated, started or stopped. But you can also exclude all of these operations to avoid starting or stopping virtual machines.

VM-Manager makes it very easy to bring back a controled situation in your resource pool with just one click!

VM-Onlince-Copy

With VM-Online-Copy you can create multipe copys of your virtual machines and all this while the virtual machine is running. You have additional options to configure like removing network cards after creating the copies or starting the virtual machines after the copy is created. Also you can select if you want to make a full copy or a XenServer fast clone. If selecting to make a full copy you are able to copy the virtual machine to another storage repository. VM-Online-Copy makes it very easy to handle your virtual machine copy processes!

VM-Manager makes it very easy to bring back a controled situation in your resource pool with just one click!

VM-Inventory

VM-Inventory will let you create a detailed export of your virtual machines and hosts. You can select or deselect all items to create the export as you need it. Also you can specify your own export format. With VM-Inventory you can create in depth reports of your environment to e.g. feed your existing billing system or change management system.

Network-Manager

Network-Manager will let you assign multiple virtual machines to multiple networks with just a few clicks. Adding a bunch of virtual desktops to a VLAN network or a simple virtual network in XenCenter will no longer be a complex work because Network-Manager will do this work for you.

Another amazing feature is the topology view which will give you a graphical view about your network environment inside your XenServer pool.


Pool-Watch

With Pool-Watch you will always know about the healt informations in your XenServer environment. It can monitor multiple pools or singel XenServer hosts and inform you about disconnected hosts or hosts which are in disabled or in maintenance mode.
