@Jonathon this is really nice to have shared, as we are looking to migrate from the RKE cluster we've deployed on bare-metal Xen to XCP-ng VMs to setup an RKE2 cluster to migrate to.
Will review this and probably have a bunch of questions!

@Forza There are various topics touching on how SMAPIv1 is a bottleneck here, eg: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9389/backup-migration-performance/8 - that's probably not the best example as it is also more on backups than migration!
@pdonias nice - so I gather we can delete from the 'server' settings the secondary host that we tried adding there, but is showing an error.
From what you say, I gather the 'pool connections' is for master servers of pools so there should just be one in the settings for each pool?
@ZaphodB I have the same experience some 2.5yrs later - I don't know why there isn't some more clarity in XO as to what and when you should add a machine as a "Server" under settings. When I installed XCP-NG on my second 'host' it joined the pool but wasn't added in XO as a "Server".
@Meth0d thanks for sharing your experience. Fortunately I was able to just hit "Convert to HVM" after my imported PV failed to reboot after upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 - was all set to load a livecd etc too!
Were you able to work it out? I have a 32GB RAM domU that keeps failing migration between nodes unfortunately!
@john-c I am seeing an option for Migration compression in XO, under Xen settings on the Advanced tab for a Pool of 8.2.1 servers. Haven't tried it though.
@olivierlambert thanks for investing in this. Great news!
@olivierlambert this is a concern for me with moving to 8.3 - having a bunch of VMs just migrated from Xen with PV. I understand 8.3 doesn’t support PV and potentially some older operating systems. Will there be a page of supported OS / Distribution versions or have I just not looked hard enough for one that’s already there?
