Note:

XenCenter YYYY.x.x is currently in preview and is not supported for production use. Note that any future references to production support apply only when XenCenter YYYY.x.x and XenServer 8 go from preview status to general availability.

You can use XenCenter YYYY.x.x to manage your XenServer 8 and Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 non-production environments. However, to manage your Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 production environment, use XenCenter 8.2.7. For more information, see the XenCenter 8.2.7 documentation.

You can install XenCenter 8.2.7 and XenCenter YYYY.x.x on the same system. Installing XenCenter YYYY.x.x does not overwrite your XenCenter 8.2.7 installation.

You can apply filters to a selected search category to further refine the search. The filters that are available are appropriate to the type of resource you are searching for.

For example, when you search for servers, you can filter the results by server name, server IP address, its resource pool, and the VMs on it. When you search for virtual disks, you can filter the results using criteria such as whether they are shared or the storage repository they are on.
