    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    XOA: VMs' consoles don't work ("Unknown key pressed, Unknown key released")

    @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    What you found is a pretty old and outdated thread, and conclusion is: It's not limited - and there's no real difference between 1 and 10GE.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/

    I ran into something VERY similar with XCP-ng and\or XOA a while back - ended up with close to 200 new "clients" showing up on my Meraki gear. They weren't even "connected" long enough to register as IP clients, only MAC clients (ARP, possibly). I didn't think much about it at the time, as both the MAC addresses and hardware information didn't seem to be tied to any actual device by some manufacturer. I may be able to pull those out from my client history... EDIT: Here is a small section of that list: [image: 1556589256050-fc439a0c96cb13a0b2b11b3bd80ff3be.png]

    To get assistance on XOA, since you have support, it's better to go with our support ticket system. This way, you can be sure to have an answer with direct developer access in a guaranteed amount of time. Please open a ticket here: https://support.vates.fr/#/tickets XOA isn't dealing on what's inside on the VM: it's an hypervisor-level agentless backup solution. As soon you create the ticket, we'll take a more in-depth look about details (what kind of backup are you using? Delta or full etc.) and also if there anything special we could do at our level.

    I don't know what's the /xen path? Install via this docker isn't the official/documented way, so it's hard to assist. Please try to build it according the doc and double check if reverse work as documented too. Otherwise, it's an issue of the Docker you use with our doc, so you'll better time to create an issue on the 3rd party "installer".

    It depends where you decided to install it (basically where you cloned to repo). Also remove the redis database if it's only used for XO.

    If you didn't, I strongly suggest that you watch the live YT webinar I did on XO backups. IIRC, there is a part talking about smart backup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUqIwT8KzI

    You have a problem on your XCP-ng, this is not related to a XO issue. It's stuck doing a snapshot, which is really a basic operation that shouldn't fail at all. Double check your SMlog on the host.

    It looks like I can remove the remotes and set them up again, and configure the backup jobs to address the new share. That's okay, there are not too many.

    You need one XOA, connected to both pools. It will stream the VM content (delta) from the source to the destination. You don't need any directly link between your SR in both DCs. You DCs can be isolated with just one XOA connected to both, and it will work.
