@metheos double check that "Manage Citrix PV drivers via Windows Update" is unchecked in xoa advanced settings for guest. i have had odd behaving problems if forgotten.

@archw and forgot to type "Not compatible with the "Manage Citrix PV drivers via Windows Update" option. You must disable this option before installing."

@Pilow nice! what are the individuell server specs and storage? please share more

@dinhngtu
it definitively happened when upgrading to 9.4.1 from a spread of earlier versions. but to be honest i havent tracked if it happened to 9.4.2.

i run 20~ customer xcp-ng installations most of them 9.4.1 for now since the CTX692748 security fix and was thinking to skip 9.4.2 but some newer guests of the customer servers is on that version.

@KPS i have seen the same on WS 2022. when upgraded to version 9.4.1 and 9.4.2 create a new nic and then the old disappears. and if static IP is set it also loses the gateway for the ip setting in some cases.

@olivierlambert

not directly support tape "yet" is there any roadmap or is it in the future?
I guess when veeam support is live it will be posible since support is in veeam for tape storage but i rather stick to just one backup solution in this case XOA to streamline the whole proccess.

you say our linux program can you point me to any documentation on this?

Thank you Oliver!
