    @florent Thanks for your reply! We have started to migrate thousands of VMs, so disk transfer speed is important for us.. We will also do our detailed tests soon with different threads setting and publish it here. I think threads=1 is a good and logical default, but not efficient. Others might complain if you set it to a higher value. Configuration option would be a real good solution.

    The problem still persists with commit e376a. After installation of updates to XenOrchestra I reboot the VM. Still no backup on this one VM possible. For now I have created a separate backup job which seems to be working. Regards, Marc

    Hello I'm pulling stats for all VMs to understand CPU usage. We're a bit behind the curve in terms of XO versions, but these questions hopefully are still relevant. If using a granularity of days, the interval is set to 86400 (understandably) but the endTimestamp varies. Running this on June 9th @ ~1740 we get timestamps for both Mon Jun 8 01:00:00 AM BST 2026 and Tues Jun 9 01:00:00 AM BST 2026. Does this average across the day? Why is the timestamp 0100? Why would there be different timestamps between VMs (all are running) and does that mean that the figures are misaligned in the results? These are retrieved via curl and a bash script, a bit hacky, but for clarity the request is: ++ curl -X GET -s -H accept:application/json -b authenticationToken=[[REDACTED]] -o [[REDACTED]] 'https://[[REDACTED]]/rest/v0/vms/[[REDACTED]]/stats?granularity=days' Really keen to know if we can control the start and endtime, as well as provide a manual interval, as well as the aggregation strategy (min, max, average). Are any of these possible? Lastly, is cpuUsage the percentage as per the dashboard, but averaged over all CPUs? Thanks so much in advance. James

    @poddingue said: usually looks like an update that got interrupted or only half-applied Thinking back on it, I think that may be the issue. in that I was too quick off the mark rebooting after the base upgrades. @poddingue said: I think the gentler recovery before rebuilding would have been re-running the updater from the CLI Kinda tried that, but: [18:47 09] xoa@xoa:~$ xoa check -bash: xoa: command not found [18:47 09] xoa@xoa:~$ sudo xoa-updater --upgrade [sudo] password for xoa: sudo: xoa-updater: command not found [18:48 09] xoa@xoa:~$ But regardless, I'm all good now.

    After building new xo with root and more testing, I have come to this conclusion... Both things are true, and they're in tension The official docs prefer non-root for the long-running service — that's a least-privilege hardening recommendation for the daemon. Normal XO (UI, backups, hosts, VMs, NFS/CIFS remotes) works fine non-root. But several XO features assume root anyway. The ESXi/VMware import "install from source" buttons are hard-coded to refuse unless id -u == 0. You already hit this same pattern once before — the credential-encryption/XenStore work (commit 5e8b7fd) existed precisely because non-root broke that too. So "everything fails non-root" isn't quite it — what fails is the specific subset of features XO wrote assuming it runs as root. Each one needs a separate workaround. The import button is one that cannot be worked around for a non-root process: it's a uid check on the running daemon, full stop. The honest trade-off You can pick at most two of these three: Service runs non-root (docs' preference) In-app "install nbd from source" button works Script doesn't pre-install packages The button (#2) requires the daemon to be uid 0. So: Want the button to work → run that box as SERVICE_USER=root. Simplest, everything XO ships just works, zero manual steps. You give up the non-root hardening. Want to stay non-root → the button is permanently dead; the only way to get import working is the binaries being placed by root once (script or by hand). The binaries run fine as non-root — only their installation needs root. My recommendation Use SERVICE_USER=root on this box. XO's own codebase keeps assuming root (import, and you already saw it with encryption/XenStore), so non-root is a recurring fight against upstream for marginal hardening. Root is fully supported, it's what the official XO appliance ships, and it makes the buttons you want work with no manual package steps. Keep non-root only if hardening that box is a hard requirement and you're fine never using the in-app import installer.

    @Andrew I did suspect that would be sufficient, but we need to think at feature level, and as mentionned there is no such thing we could do "quickly" for linux and other OSes. I anyway did a brain dump of my investigation before posting my previous message and we do now have an entry in the roadmap for it, which was not the case previously.

    Another confirmed data point, with package delta and the specific malformed field. Host: XCP-ng 8.3.0, xapi 26.1 (build 26.1.4), Xen 4.17.6-9. Setup: XO from sources (community). All VDIs vanished from the per-VM Disks tab (XO 5 and XO 6); xe and the SR Disks tab show them fine; VMs run normally. Trigger was the 8.3 host update + reboot this morning — XO build unchanged since May 28, disks visible yesterday. Host update delta (today): all 26.1.3-1.10 → 26.1.4-3.1 (xapi-core, xenopsd, sm-cli, sm-fairlock, xapi-storage-script, vhd-tool, message-switch, etc.), plus sm 3.2.12-17.8 → 17.9 as an independent bump. The malformed field. An affected live OS disk (VM running): is-a-snapshot: false snapshot-of: <populated, points to another VDI> snapshot-time: <populated> A normal base VDI should have an empty snapshot-of. After the update, snapshot-of/snapshot-time are populated on real, non-snapshot base VDIs, and XO filters anything with a non-empty snapshot-of out of the per-VM Disks view — which is the disappearance. The VDI that snapshot-of points to is a legitimate base image in my environment (a heavily-reused Win2022 build template with a large genuine snapshot/clone lineage), so I can't tell from the host side whether the parentage links themselves changed or only the snapshot-of on live VDI labeling did. Either way, the consumer-visible effect is the same. REST confirms: /rest/v0/vms/<uuid>/vdis → []; /rest/v0/vdis/<uuid> → "no such VDI" for the VBD's referenced UUID, while xe vdi-list shows it. Caution for others: since live disks now carry snapshot-like metadata, be careful with Health-dashboard "orphan" cleanup and snapshot deletion on affected VMs until this is understood. Workaround that restored the per-VM Disks view: snapshot → revert → delete-snapshot (tested on a powered-off VM, immediate). Happy to provide more diagnostics. Quick Follow-up: Additional symptom, same root cause: ISO-SR VDIs are also affected. Pre-existing ISOs disappeared from the XO ISO picker (only ISOs uploaded after the patch still show). An affected ISO's vdi-param-list shows: is-a-snapshot: false snapshot-of: 937c3945-... (same anchor UUID as an affected VM disk on a different SR) snapshot-time: 19700101T00:00:00Z (Unix epoch — clearly synthetic) Notably the spurious snapshot-of on both an ISO VDI and an unrelated VM OS disk points to the same anchor UUID, with an epoch timestamp — so this looks like the update is stamping pre-existing VDIs with a bogus snapshot-of rather than any real lineage. VHD chains/GC are clean (GC reports no work).

    Edit a Bond to Remove a NIC?

    Take it with a grain of salt, but I think bonds are usually managed as a whole rather than edited port by port in the UI. As far as I can tell, the supported route is from the network section in Xen Orchestra (the bonding part of the infrastructure docs is here: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/xo5/manage_infrastructure#network-bonding), and on the CLI side, the bond commands are documented at https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference#bond-create (there's a matching bond-destroy command alongside it). My honest guess is you may end up destroying and recreating the bond with the four ports you want to keep, since I'm not sure removing a single member in place is exposed anywhere, but I could easily be wrong. If there's a cleaner way that avoids the recreate, someone will let us know.

    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.

    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

    Mitchel-APDM
    @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
