Note:

XenCenter 2023.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 2023.x.x and XenServer 8 go from preview status to general availability.

You can use XenCenter 2023.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 2023.x.x on the same system. Installing XenCenter 2023.x.x does not overwrite your XenCenter 8.2.7 installation.

You create a VM from a snapshot in the same way as you create a VM from a regular VM template, by using the New VM wizard.

To create a VM from a snapshot

On the Snapshots tab, select the snapshot you want to use, then right-click and select New VM from Snapshot on the shortcut menu.

The New VM wizard opens, with your snapshot pre-selected on the Templates page.
Follow the steps in the New VM wizard to create the VM. For more information, see Creating a new VM.

To create a VM from an orphan snapshot

If the original VM used to create the snapshot has been deleted, you can select the snapshot and start the New VM wizard as follows:

In the Resources pane, switch to Folder View.
Select to expand the Types group and then expand the Snapshots group.
Select the snapshot, then right-click and select New VM from Snapshot on the shortcut menu.
