@florent Thats great news! We use both Borg and Veeam so that's where most of these ideas are coming from. Having GFS backups like you mention for weekly, monthly, yearly would also be awesome to have and something we make use of in Veeam currently.

RE: Intel iGPU passthough
@CJ Im running server grade hardware that has remote lights out management with iKVM support. Otherwise yeah you would lose access to the display output.

RE: Intel iGPU passthough
In my testing of this, iGPU passthru works fine in Linux but in Windows the device will show an error in the device manager, disable/enabling the drive in the device manager will allow it to work, until next reboot.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
@archw I see references to xen 4.17 in your logs. Are you currently using the 4.17 test repos or was 4.17 pushed out to the main 8.3 repos?

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
I have been installing 8.3 beta 2 on a variety of different server grade hardware in the last week. (HP DL325, HP DL20, Lenovo SR250V2) and all have worked without issues however the issue posted by myself and @rmaclachlan above in regards to networking bonds not reporting the proper speed still remains.
I am also seeing lots of xcp-networkd errors in xensource.log Feb 23 11:41:17 xcpng-test-01 xcp-networkd: [error||3 ||network_utils] Error in read one line of file: /sys/class/net/bond0/device/vendor, exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.ENOENT, "open", "/sys/class/net/bond0/device/vendor")\x0ARaised by primitive operation at Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.with_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 90, characters 11-40\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.buffer_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml" (inlined), line 177, characters 31-83\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.string_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 179, characters 47-73\x0ACalled from Network_utils.Sysfs.read_one_line in file "ocaml/networkd/lib/network_utils.ml", line 156, characters 6-33\x0A Feb 23 11:41:22 xcpng-test-01 xcp-networkd: [error||3 ||network_utils] Error in read one line of file: /sys/class/net/bond0/carrier, exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.ENOENT, "open", "/sys/class/net/bond0/carrier")\x0ARaised by primitive operation at Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.with_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 90, characters 11-40\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.buffer_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml" (inlined), line 177, characters 31-83\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.string_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 179, characters 47-73\x0ACalled from Network_utils.Sysfs.read_one_line in file "ocaml/networkd/lib/network_utils.ml", line 156, characters 6-33\x0A Feb 23 11:41:22 xcpng-test-01 xcp-networkd: [error||3 ||network_utils] Error in read one line of file: /sys/class/net/bond0/device/device, exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.ENOENT, "open", "/sys/class/net/bond0/device/device")\x0ARaised by primitive operation at Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.with_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 90, characters 11-40\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.buffer_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml" (inlined), line 177, characters 31-83\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.string_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 179, characters 47-73\x0ACalled from Network_utils.Sysfs.read_one_line in file "ocaml/networkd/lib/network_utils.ml", line 156, characters 6-33\x0A Feb 23 11:41:22 xcpng-test-01 xcp-networkd: [error||3 ||network_utils] Error in read one line of file: /sys/class/net/bond0/device/vendor, exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.ENOENT, "open", "/sys/class/net/bond0/device/vendor")\x0ARaised by primitive operation at Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.with_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 90, characters 11-40\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.buffer_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml" (inlined), line 177, characters 31-83\x0ACalled from Xapi_stdext_unix__Unixext.string_of_file in file "lib/xapi-stdext-unix/unixext.ml", line 179, characters 47-73\x0ACalled from Network_utils.Sysfs.read_one_line in file "ocaml/networkd/lib/network_utils.ml", line 156, characters 6-33\x0A My bond interfaces in XO report as running at 0 b/s as well

RE: Backup from replicas possible?
@florent Any news on this being added? I was not able to find anything about it on the Github. We are moving from XO from source to full XOA soon and our DR backup/replication plan will be one of the first things we need to get straightened out before we can totally move off of VMware and Veeam.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
After installing all the latest patches from this week my XOA and xe pif-param-list are both still showing network bonds linking at 0 b/s just like @rmaclachlan pointed out above.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 beta 🚀
One thing i have learned from testing various different 10G nics with XCP-NG that may be somewhat related to this is if you remove (or if a driver fails to load properly perhaps) a NIC that has the management interface assigned to it from a host, upon reboot the host will come up with no NICs present in XO or via xe pif-list, an emergency network rest will not restore them either, my only fix has been to re-install XCP-NG.
If you however first move the management interface to a different NIC before removing said NIC then everything will come up fine and if you have installed a different NIC it will be discovered no problem. I have tested this going from a Qlogic NIC to an Intel X520 and from an Intel X520 to an Intel X710.
