    @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!

    I did some research and found 2 (old) forum threads where other people encountered the issue that I am currently facing (/var/log full after some time). 1 thread I found in this forum and the other one in Citrix Xenserver forum. In both cases it was recommended to check for old / incompatible XenTools since appearently they can cause this exact behaviour of filling up /var/log on the pool master. Appearently there even was a confirmed bug in one version of Citrix XenTools for this issue. My 105 virtual machines are all either Windows Server or Debian (mixed Debian 11, 12 and 13). I am using these XenTools on most of my Debian systems (latest version): https://github.com/xenserver/xe-guest-utilities I am using these XenTools on all of my Windows systems: "XenServer VM Tools for Windows 9.4.2", https://www.xenserver.com/downloads Are those XenTools expected to cause issues? What are the XenTools expected to work best with full updated XCP-ng 8.3 as of now? Best regards

    Hello everyone, We have use now XCP-ng Standalone (paid version) with a single host and about 8 VMs. After opening a ticket with support, I received confirmation that there is currently no built-in feature in XCP-ng or XOA (even Premium) to control VM boot order or per-VM startup delays. XOA’s Auto-Power-On option does not offer sequencing or delays. The documentation mentions “appliances”, but even after reviewing that I don't understand how It can help me. What I need is very simple: 1 Host 1 pool, around 8 VMs. I need them to auto-start after a host reboot in a specific order, with a delay between each VM (e.g., XOA → Domain Controller → other servers, with 30 seconds delay). If this cannot be done natively for now, I’ll create a startup script, but before doing that I would really appreciate feedback from others in the community who may have solved this. Thanks in advance for any advice or ideas!

    Hello, we have a pool of 3 hosts with XOSTOR and we are having various performance issues related to tasks like start/stop VMs, VM migrations or similar which according to Vates support are down to the task waiting for Sr.scan to be completed. I can see sr.scan running all the time and some of them takes around 4 / 5 minutes... the XOSTOR storage is around 27Tb and store about 107 VMs base disk + same amount of snapshots + what I think is the current changes for each of them for a total of 348 disks. What your environments look likes? how long your sr.scans takes and most importantly do you have problems at start/stopping and migrating VMs? For instance when we migrate VMs, the VMs freeze for about 3 / 4 minutes just before re-attaching the VDI on the target host and according to support is due to the sr.scan.
