    @poddingue there is a notion of appliance too (group of VMs) https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference/#appliance-commands where you can start/stop a group of VMs, never tried it, doesn't seem to have a boot order in the vAPP neither

    @gcpeters4 said: @john.c This is a good idea as well. If the previous suggestion of trying to do a DNS round robin approach doesn't work, this may be my best option. Thanks for taking the time to provide your suggestion! By the way my suggestion is recommended best practice from Microsoft for their Active Directory software and/or technology. My suggestion will be more likely to work if your DNS servers and requests have issues with Round Robin configuration. Plus with my solution you can easily add more servers as domain controllers to the cluster, as required and use replication to keep them consistent and up to date.

    hello there, still XOA 6.3.3 here. since the last big XObackup & CR reworking, we have an annoying bug [image: 1778328477250-6db625da-2a61-4860-bc50-5c6adae0ae33-image.jpeg] This VM is 2.17Tb [image: 1778328523117-bc28b5ef-f37d-4bf9-b016-921309c17353-image.jpeg] how can be the KEY is 9.1Gb ? In fact the KEY size is good, but when retention of 10 points is obtained, the merging of last incremental in the first KEY point of the chain erase the size. So in our restore view, data sizes are all wrong, based on the sum of this key + 9 inc [image: 1778328703332-2e0a1587-365a-404f-9186-2b909605b3fa-image.jpeg] @florent could you do something about that ?

    @Pilow @acebmxer Thanx for your replies. And sorry, i havent seen your first reply between my last posts with the link to your existing Thread. So, i think this is some kind of a bigger thing. Will handle with care, but i have to leave for today. Maybe i have time to test the snapshot and revert workarounds on the weekend. But these are all production VMs. Have to coordinate. I have 2 NFS-SRs in the Pool. Will try to migrate VMs from one to the other and see if this helps. Kind Regards and thx again Alex

    Unable to import Backup Config from Community Edition to XOA Deployed Appliance

    Ok I think I have resolved the issue. It appears that if you do not activate either a paid license or the trial, it fails with the import because many of the features are not active until you enable the license and then update the XOA appliance. Once I activated the trial and then updated the appliance again, I was able to successfully import the backup. My hesitation with activating the license before importing the config as the licenses are bound and I didn't want to have to redo the setup if the config did not import. Again, it looks like I need to activate the license first and then I can import the config.

    Just to close the loop on this: XO 6.4 (released on April 29) includes a specific fix for VNC reconnection, which may have been causing keyboard focus loss and, in turn, modifier keys to get stuck (PR #9727). At least, that’s my understanding; I could be completely wrong, so please take it with a grain of salt. If you’re on XO 6 and still seeing the issue, upgrading to 6.4 may help.

    Good news, or at least, that's my understanding. This was a known bug and it's fixed in XO 6.4 (released April 29, PR #9681). Upgrading should make those alerts disappear for good. Thanks for the video, it made the report unambiguous.

    load-balancer : Affinity to Host groups

    @olivierlambert In my understanding, Anti affinity tags only looks for the tags that are attached to the VM. For example: Datacenter 1 Host 1 VM1-1 Host 2 VM1-2 Datacenter 2 Host 3 VM2-1 Host 4 VM2-2 VM1-1 and VM1-2 should be able to migrate to Host 1 and Host 2. VM2-1 and VM2-2 should be able to migrate to Host 3 and Host 4. But VM1-1 and VM1-2 should never be able to migrate to Host 3 and Host 4. VM2-1 and VM2-2 should never be able to migrate to Host 1 and Host 2. With the current (Anti) Affinity tags, it will only look to the tags attached to the VM, so in the example it would be possible for VM1-1 to go to Host 4, if VM2-2 would be at Host 3 together with VM2-1. But if we could tag the hosts, it would not be possible for VM1-1 and VM1-2 to be on Host 3 and Host 4

    @Pilow Apologies for the late reply. Thank you for sharing the work around. I have tried it and confirmed that the work around works. I hope they can find a solution for this issue.

    Managing vAPPs with XOA

    @olivierlambert +1 For creating vApps GUI in XO Reason: I recently had this configuration: VM1 - Delay 90 Seconds VM2 - Delay 100 Seconds VM3 - Delay 0 Seconds The VM3 instead of starting first, always starts last without fail. One difference I noticed is that VM3 is UEFI vs VM1 & 2 being in BIOS mode. I read elsewhere in the forum that vApps is the only reliable way to have an order. Maybe if we can somehow ensure that delay works, vApps will become less significant ?

    @Bytevenidos That's an interesting way of doing this, I'll have to remember it. I think the Fuel Ignition tool has a vhd output, it also produces both ignition and combustion parts for you. Worked pretty good on one test machine, but I need to go deeper into some of the other choices you can type in.

    @omatsei said: @omatsei I figured out the problem. There appears to be a bug in XO that requires you to check "Check Certificate" and/or "Start TLS", save the configuration, then uncheck them, then save again. Then it should work. The bug is that they're unchecked by default, but apparently they're enabled in the background. Thanks for that, I was stump on this one trying to reconfigure a new instance. This is defintely the case even with the latest auth-ldap (v0.10.11) plugin.

    @geometry game 2 This usually happens when dependencies are out of sync after pulling updates. Did you try removing node_modules and the lock file and then running yarn install again before starting XO?
