Orbit for Xen Orchestra

Orbit 1.1.1 New - Clone a VM from your phone. Long press it in the list or use the menu on its screen. A fast clone is ready in seconds, or choose different storage and Orbit makes a full copy instead. Cloning to another pool works too. Needs Xen Orchestra 6.6. - Backup Repositories, a new view under Storage. Every target Xen Orchestra backs up to, whether that is NFS, SMB, S3 or a local disk, each with a reachability check so you can tell whether last night's backup had somewhere to go. Open one for its read and write speed, earlier measurements, and the VMs holding restore points there. Needs Xen Orchestra 6.6. - Smart Reboot on a host. It suspends that host's VMs, restarts it, then brings them back, so they stay put instead of migrating across the pool. Needs Xen Orchestra 6.6. - Rename and describe your disks. Tap Edit on any disk on a VM's screen instead of living with whatever it was called when it was created. Needs Xen Orchestra 6.7. - Alarm notifications. A host short on memory, a VM pinning its CPU, or a repository filling up now reaches you while the app is closed. Switch it on under Notifications in Settings. - Hosts now tell you when they have taken their patches but still need the restart that puts those patches to work. That gap used to be invisible, and it has its own notification. Improved - Scrolling is properly smooth. The cards on your dashboard, VM and host screens were costing far more to draw than they should have, enough to hold a 120 Hz iPhone at around 30 while you scrolled. That is fixed, and you will feel it on the screens you use most. - Background patch checks ask for a fraction of the data they used to, which is easier on your data plan and your battery. - Missing-patch notifications read at the pool level now, such as "Production has 3 missing patches", and count each patch once instead of once per host. - Dashboard alarms name what actually tripped and the figure that tripped it, rather than just "performance alarm", and the serious ones are marked as serious. - Refused actions explain themselves. Try to reboot a host while the pool master still has updates waiting and Orbit names the master and tells you to patch that one first, instead of passing on "incorrect state". - Host reboots, toolstack restarts and maintenance mode are tracked in Tasks, so a failure reaches you instead of going quietly nowhere. Needs Xen Orchestra 6.6. - Disk resizing is clearer about what went wrong. Asking for a smaller size says so plainly, and resizing while the VM is running tells you to shut it down first. Resize several at once and Orbit names the one that failed while the rest go through.
