Virtualizor 2.6.6 Launched - Thin Provisioning, Storage System, XL Support, etc
Hi,
The Virtualizor Team has released Virtualizor 2.6.6
This version has some cool new features and some bug fixes.
One of the changes which we believe is a game changer is Thin Provisioning in Virtualizor.
The following is a list of changes in this version:
1) [Feature] The Storage System in Virtualizor has been revamped. In the Admin Panel you can now define the Storage for slave servers. Multiple storage can be defined for one single slave server. Also a common storage can be defined for multiple slaves.
2) [Feature] With the new Storage system in place, an Admin can define the "Disk Overselling Limit" for OpenVZ, KVM and Xen slaves based on the type of storage.
3) [Feature] One of the coolest features in this version is the support for QCOW2 and RAW disk formats for KVM Nodes. We believe this is a feature that many webhosting companies have been seeking. Guide to creating a new storage can be found here :
http://www.virtualizor.com/wiki/Add_New_Storage
4) [Feature] Added an option to disable the enduser backup option in OpenVZ.
5) [Feature] A new DNS Management wizard has been added in the Virtualizor Admin Panel. It enables the Admin to view and manage all existing DNS records.
6) [Feature] Support for rDNS for IPv6 Addresses has been added in Virtualizor.
7) [Feature] XL support has been added in Virtualizor. This is still in Beta. You can one click enable it but xm needs to be turned off. Guide to do so :
http://www.virtualizor.com/wiki/Enable_XL
8) [Feature] Added support for RAW and QCOW2 Xen Hypervisors. However QCow2 will work only with XL enabled and only on Xen 4.1+ nodes.
9) [Task] XenServer Storage has been improved. Expect more features in the coming weeks.
10) [Task] While deleting a VPS, the Delete Confirmation will show the VPS ID.
11) [Task] The Support Link has been shifted to the Left Menu in the enduser panel. This is for better visibility to the endusers.
12) [Bug Fix] The SSL Bundle files were not being added in the NGinx Conf properly. This is fixed now.
13) [Bug Fix] The SolusVM importer did not show OS Templates for KVM VMs in some cases. This is fixed now.
14) [Bug Fix] The SolusVM Importer was not importing some IP Pools. This is fixed now.
15) [Bug Fix] Media Groups were not shown as selected while editing a VPS. This is fixed now.
16) [Bug Fix] Rebuild VPS showed wrong VNC IP if its not the node IP. This is fixed now.
17) [Bug Fix] While rebuilding a Windows VM from the Admin Pane, the password given over the form was being used even when the OS Template had the HVM Password. This is fixed now.
18) [Bug Fix] If the Windows distro is added, the HVM Password set for the for Windows Distro would not be used. This is fixed now.
19) [Bug Fix] Bandwidth bug fix for KVM, Xen, XCP when VPS suspended.

Virtualizor supports OpenVZ, Xen, XenServer and Linux-KVM on CentOS and Ubuntu and they all can be managed from the Master. We are adding more features and if you have any suggestions, do let us know. We hope you enjoy this version of Virtualizor.

Hey guys, I'd love to try your product. Would I be able to get a beta licence?
Thanks!
Lucky enough to try out Thin provisioning, we thin provisioned our blade system and got recommended by HP to do so, as apparently it was all designed around thin provisioning but not complaining it's a good idea :-)
one month free trial and then the monthly cost is pretty low.

Glad to see another update full of new features and bug fixes
We will be having a lot of new features aroud storage capabilities. Also the Devs told me that they will be revamping the Backup features as well. Lots of exciting stuff coming up in Feb.
Woo! been waiting on this update for a while...
Sounds good. But a Debian version would be welcome.
Ubuntu is supported.
Any more info around "9) [Task] XenServer Storage has been improved. Expect more features in the coming weeks."
How has it been improved?
The devs said they will be launching more storage options in this regard. In order to do so, the whole existing system needed a re-write. So expect new features in upcoming months.
@virtualizor do you plan to integrate billing system in the next months?
Why would a virtualization software company start work on a billing portal;
Not sure about you but I'd rather they work on the existing system that branching out into new ones?
Why not use WHMCS?
True. But it will be great if it was integrated with virtualizor. The new virtualization platform ( the free one with .io domain) started to do it. Anyway just asking
Yes. But it will be so to just help users buy VMs. It will not be having support for other panels.
Install on the website points to http://www.virtualizor.com/wiki//Category:Install which is empty due to the double //, might want to fix.
Where did you find the broken link ? I mean on which page ?

"To get a trial license simply Install Virtualizor and the license will be issued automatically. "
@virtualizor these are some really cool features you have added in this release. You guys really work hard & try to deliver what your clients want.
Please ask your team to fix IPv6 with XEN/KVM on OVH also as it has been a long time since it got reported but has still not been fixed.
Fixed.
When I try to edit a VPS made with the previous version I got the error:
The primary storage could not be found
VirtKick
Amazing work. Thank you for great
freecheap software.In some cases it might come only for the first time ever. If you revisit, it will work.
You are right. It is ok now.
Really Great Update.....
Now my Slave Storage not working showing 0GB Free
Did you disable update on the slave ?
We're having this issue too. Updates are set to auto stable. Can see that our master has updated but the slaves are still on 2.6.5
Contacted support - the identified the issue and applied a fix within the hour. As always, 'fantastico' technical support....
Excuse that mild bit of cheddar I dropped in there! They aint paying me before you start....
how to create vps kvm with format raw on current node?
My list of things holding me back from switching right now:
No ip6 subnet support
No serial console
To many "Some error" occurred messages with no relevant details.
No WHMCS Call back.
