    Hi @dvdwx, RBAC is available only at the REST API level, not through the XO6 UI. UI compatibility with RBAC is currently under development. For the topology, this is something that has been here for a long time, so I may be wrong since I don't have the full history. However, if I look at the code, creating the topology selector requires knowing how many CPUs are available in the pool. Since a self-service user doesn't have visibility into the pool, they can't access this kind of information.

    Is a centralized XOA server "managing" two remote Proxy-fronted XCP clusters supported with the SDN Controller Plugin? We are looking to deploy an architecture similar to this blog post from 2022: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-proxy-a-concrete-guide/

    @pedro_udifar Hi, This is a b2 side error. It could be just a transient error, did you try to restart the backup?

    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

    The Kubernetes CSI driver for Xen Orchestra just hit v0.4.0, and we want it on more real clusters before it reaches a stable release candidate. If you run Kubernetes on XCP-ng VMs, this is a good time to give it a proper workout. What's new in v0.4.0: Local-storage support Automatic pool-discovery fallback Kubernetes metadata now lives in Xen Orchestra VDI tags instead of the deprecated other_config. That change also drops the old requirement for Xen Orchestra 6.4 or newer, so the driver runs on more deployments now. ️ Read this before you upgrade. v0.4.0 is a breaking change. The Kubernetes metadata moved from other_config to VDI tags, so you must migrate before upgrading from v0.3.0. Do not upgrade in place: follow the v0.3.0 to v0.4.0 migration guide in the release notes, then move to v0.4.0. What helps us most is hearing how it behaves on your own setup: what works, what breaks, which storage backend you use, and which flavour of Kubernetes you run (k3s, full k8s, or something else). Edge cases on real clusters are the ones we don't see in our own testing. Where to report: start right here in this thread. It keeps everything visible to the community and lets others on the same setup jump in. If something turns out to be a reproducible bug, we'll move it to a GitHub issue on the repo so the team can track it to a fix.

    Likely orphaned VDIs. Removing them should fix coalesce.

    Okay so maybe there is a race condition somewhere with zstd (gut feeling, about premature EOF and using ZSTD). @johnelse what do you think? Do you need better logs?

    You need to use LDAP plugin to enable user login with XO. Please refer to our official documentation: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/ldap.html

    This is an idea I had a long time ago (issue created in 2016), but due to the lack of request for this, it's not a priority. Obviously, if you have pro support, creating a ticket to get this could raise the priority of dev teams. Also, contributions are very welcome

    XOA supports CH 8.0, what's your error? XOA use another mechanism because CBT isn't really worth it (we use delta VHD instead, which is compatible even with XS Free)

    We patched some part of SMAPIv1 to "make it work" (our patches were even merged) but VHD export is another (more) complicated story. That's why we are working on SMAPIv3 now instead wasting resources on the "legacy" storage stack

    @Danp said in XOA: VMs' consoles don't work ("Unknown key pressed, Unknown key released"): What version of XS / XCP? Are you fully patched? XOA is on XCP-ng 7.6 which I installed 3 weeks ago and then updated with yum, so still up-to-date, I believe (not trying to update at the moment as I'm in a process of migrating and don't want any reloads/restarts of XCP-ng. VMs were on XenServer 6.2 updated with all patches available. Additional info: one of the Linux VMs which I tried to use XOA's console with, was already on XCP-ng 7.6 (the same as XOA) and here behaviour was different (but bad anyway): hitting Enter was giving newlines, AFAIR, but the console wasn't reacting on other keys. This may help -- https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xenserver-consoles/ Thanks. Though I'm not sure which keyboard layout the blog mentions... Of the browser (client)? Of the host with XOA? Of the host with the VM observed on the XOA's "console"?

    What you found is a pretty old and outdated thread, and conclusion is: It's not limited - and there's no real difference between 1 and 10GE. In case it's limited to protect mgmt-int, it would scale with 10GE, but in fact it doesn't.

    Use a single partition because this is a nice way to let cloud init grow the system disk if needed. I made a guide a while ago about doing this on a Debian, it's exactly the same principle: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/debian-cloud-template-for-xenserver/
