    Would it be possible to either have direct links to the exe's without them being zipped? Or list the version number of the xen-guest-agent.exe? I'm installing these through Ansible (see code below). And it would be way cleaner if either of those two wishes could be true. - name: Install Xen Guest tools on Windows hosts when: ansible_system == "Win32NT" tags: xcp_ng block: - name: Install Xen Guest Tools when: ansible_virtualization_type == "xen" block: - name: Copy over Latest Xen PV drivers ansible.windows.win_copy: src: "XenTools-x64_{{ xen_guest_agent_version }}.msi" dest: "C:\\Users\\{{ ansible_user }}\\Downloads\\XenDrivers-x64.msi" force: true - name: Install XenDrivers if the version isnt already created ansible.windows.win_package: path: "C:\\Users\\{{ ansible_user }}\\Downloads\\XenDrivers-x64.msi" creates_path: C:\Program Files\XCP-ng\Windows PV Drivers\XenGuestAgent\xen-guest-agent.exe creates_version: "{{ xen_guest_agent_version }}" arguments: - /quiet

    Commenting for my future self. This works for CentOS Stream 10; # Install Extra Packages for Linux, where xe-guest-utilities-latest lives sudo yum install epel-release # Install sudo yum install xe-guest-utilities-latest # Start the Service on Boot sudo systemctl enable xe-linux-distribution # Start the Service Now sudo systemctl start xe-linux-distribution # Check the Service is Running sudo systemctl status xe-linux-distribution # Check it's installed sudo yum list installed xe-guest-utilities-latest I wasn't particularly committed to Rocky Linux 10, so thought I'd give the usual steps a run on a different similar OS using CentOS Stream 10. Works absolutely fine. As a comparison, when I run the above steps on Rocky Linux 10, it fails on the second step above when trying to install from yum, which appears to be due to this not being included in EPEL. sudo yum search xe-guest-utilities No matches found. Curious to understand if anyone knows why EPEL is different between CentOS Stream 10 VS Rocky Linux 10. Is this just some upstream thing that isn't perfectly aligned?

    I noticed that for "Mirror full backup", the process copies every backup, and then immediately removes backups older than retention. This seems unnecesary for full backups as there is no relationship between each backup for a VM. [image: 1764448450610-227425cd-efdc-40cf-9222-4df5bf77df06-image.png]

    @TestForEcho No ETA for now. Even before supporting QCOW2 on LINSTOR, we have several points to robustify (HA performance, potential race conditions, etc.). Regarding other important points: Supporting volumes larger than 2TB has significant impacts on synchronization, RAM usage, coalesce, etc. We need to find a way to cope with these changes. The coalesce algorithm should be changed to no longer depend on the write speed to the SR in order to prevent potential coalesce interruptions; this is even more crucial for LINSTOR. The coalesce behavior is not exactly the same for QCOW2, and we believe that currently this could negatively impact the API impl in the case of LINSTOR. In short: QCOW2 has led to changes that require a long-term investment in several topics before even considering supporting this format on XOSTOR.

    @dani You mentioned in another thread that you're from Spain. ¿Me ayudas con la traducción al castellano para XCP-ng y XOA? Apúntate a https://translate.vates.tech/projects/xen-orchestra/xen-orchestra-6/es/
