It's never good when you take a "trial and error" approach to find out if an operating system works with the hardware or the reverse - not least that you actually have the kit do buy
Therefore XenServer hardware compatibility list (HCL short) has. The HCL is the means by which we can assure customers:
tested What hardware with XenServer
We provide our partners with automated testing hardware meets our confirm and performance requirements functional ,
What hardware Citrix and partner support (above and beyond best-effort)
have, if anything ever done wrong to go unless you have a support contract, both Citrix and the hardware manufacturers are working together to ensure a solution, produced to fix the problem.
HCL fairly easy starting. It has gradually grown and get more and more complicated over time, especially in recent years with the advent of device types such as Converged Network Adapter and GPU cards. Needless these additional complexity to say, along with aging infrastructure, components and technologies pushed the old location on the border of what could handle it.
Finally, a few weeks ago, the last straw, the systems broke back - so we roll up our sleeves to develop work on something completely new - a rewrite from scratch, aimed at improving the performance would concentrate and ease of use - with the by-product of the future location for a number of improvements proofing .
We hope that the result has both a "fresh but familiar 'feel, with some notable improvements:
We have restricted the result set
I know, I know - "Why do take so long!" I hear you cry Well, it's here now, and we hope to find it, go to speed, what to do in no-end [1945004th]
we have got rid of the separate CNA page
we decided that it was too confusing separate pages for network adapters and Converged network adapter (essentially NAs with additional functions !) - a single "network adapter" component with a number of supported features, so we combined them and creates the Filter
linked GPUs and Server
the. GPU pass-Through / vgpu sides were very useless with a growing list of supported server / GPU combinations. Since GPU support is highly dependent on specific servers, BIOS, drivers (not to mention XenServer releases!) -. The monolithic pages scaled simply not (and have not Filter)
Thus, we have determined that this is by being a top-level equipment in the HCL and we have networked servers with GPUs. This means that when you click on a GPU, you can obtain the list of servers supported him -. Likewise, if you click on a specific server, you can see which GPU cards are supported
We believe that this is to go a step forward, but we'd love to continue! Please leave us some comments on this blog post if you have any ideas on how we can make the site to further useful
