    @dinhngtu said in XCP-ng Windows PV tools announcements: @probain The canonical way is to check the product_id instead https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/windows/win_package_module.html#parameter-product_id The ProductCode changes every time a new version of XCP-ng Windows PV tools is released, and you can get it from each release's MSI: No problem... If you ever decide to have the .exe-file as a separate item. Not bundled within the zip-file. Then I would be even happier. But until then, thanks for everything!

    @isdpcman-0 said in Install mono on XCP-ng: Our RMM tools will run on CentOS but fail to install because they are looking for mono to be on the system. How can I install Mono on an XCP-ng host so we can install our monitoring/management tools? Reply I think it is advised to consider hosts as appliances and not install any external packages (repos are disabled for that purpose, that's probably your issue for installing anything) even in case of clusters of many hosts in a pool, you should deploy same packages on all hosts to expect compliancy between hosts... better use SNMP to monitor you hosts ? or standard installed packages ?

    @ideal you should, yes. beware of dom0 memory (the host), it consumes memory too [image: 1764869359785-f805ffa6-a49f-43fc-a4dc-fd1ab11f5e8a-15b3f9e5-b4c7-455b-9bc0-d74d4ff84901.png]

    From another post I gathered that there is an auto-scan feature that run by default every 30 seconds which seems to cause a lot issue when the storage contains a lot of disks or you have a lot of storage. It is not completely clear if this auto-scan feature is actually necessary and to some customers Vates helpdesk has suggested to reduce the frequency of the scan from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and that seems to have improved the overall experience. The command would be this: xe host-param-set other-config:auto-scan-interval=120 uuid=<Host UUID> where UUID is the pool master UUID. Of course I won't run that in production without Vates support re-assurance that doing so it won't have a negative impact but I think is worth mentioning this. In my situation I can see how frequents scan would cause delay on the other tasks considering that effectively my system is always under scanning with probably the scan task itself being affected by it.
