    @Razor_648 While I was writing my previous message, I have been reminded that there are also issues with LVHDoISCSI SR and CBT, you should disable CBT on your backup job and on all VDI on the SR. It might help with the issue.

    @StephenAOINS This endpoint is not currently present in our REST API swagger, but we do plan to add it to the list of endpoints. We are currently finalizing the migration of existing endpoints, the next step will be adding new ones. We will keep you informed when it is available.

    Hi, I'm currently testing deployments with pulumi using packer templates. So far the basics work as expected but I'm stuck on a setting issue that seems to affect both pulumi and terraform providers. As far as I know there is no way to set the memory as static or changing memory_min when creating a VM from a template. The template was created with 1cpu and 2GB of RAM [image: 1752573420785-screenshot-2025-07-15-at-11.56.01.png] The VM created from this template using pulumi was assigned 2cpus and 4GB of RAM, however this only sets memory_max [image: 1752573490942-screenshot-2025-07-15-at-11.56.21.png] I found the following post that talks about this: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/5628/xenorchestra-with-terraform and also the folllowing github issue https://github.com/vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra/issues/211 Manually setting the memory limits after VM creation defeats the purpose of automation. I suppose that implementing those settings in the relevant providers is a core feature. In most cases, VMs need static memory limits. In the meantime, is there any workaround that I should investigate or anything that I missed ? slax81 created this issue in vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra open Dynamic memory control #211

    @olivierlambert said in Feature Request: XCP-ng. The idea is to make it open via a XAPI call when needed (or automatically when XAPI is down). @guiltykeyboard A bit similar to how VMware ESXi handles SSH server, it has SSH stopped and/or disabled until requested in its web interface. Unlike possibly VMware ESXi its going to automatically enable and start the SSH server if XAPI is down!

    @olivierlambert I would agree... one of those odd glitches that occurred during the build process that corrected itself on a second run. Thanks for everyone's help... please go ahead and close this out!

    @Danp Deleting and then re-creating doesnt always work if there's another partition (swap) after. I usually do this: fdisk -l /dev/xvda (note the end blocks of the last partition under the End column) fdisk /dev/xvda n accept the defaults except starting blocks (use next free block as starting block) w vgextend almalinux /dev/xvda3 (if thats the number you saw when creating the new partition) lvresize /dev/template-vg/almalinux-root -l +100%FREE -r

    @Nick-085 Thanks for the hint mate ! I wasn't aware that this script also installs a XO proxy. In the mean time we already have something like backup proxies in place because we splitted backup jobs to two XO instances in the first place since we wanted to separate test environments from "production" (so to speak). A third instance is used mainly for centralized administration (we are only slowly moving away from using "Xencenter" since we are long time Citrix Xenserver users). I guess old habbits die slowly. In the end I guess by coincidence we already build something similar to what a central XO instance plus two XO proxies

    To anybody who may stumble across this in the future...I just yanked it. It wasn't connected to the VM anymore. There was no data corruption, and the replacement attached fine.

    @flakpyro Yes yes, this is exactly what is happening. If you want to enjoy the version number, you have to install version 9.3.2 first and then upgrade to version 9.3.3.

    @ddelnano Sorry to drag this up and also no OP, but I'm just looking at how to set a static RAM allocation via terraform too so this would be relevant to me. Here's a snippet of code, it's using a generic Ubuntu 22.04 LTS cloud image template which has 1GB ram by default, in the code I set the memory to 4GB, which works but uses Dynamic rather than static resource "xenorchestra_vm" "bar" { name_label = "TerraformCreatedMe" name_description = "Terraform Managed" template = data.xenorchestra_template.ubuntu22.id memory_max = 4294967296 cpus = 4 destroy_cloud_config_vdi_after_boot = true hvm_boot_firmware = "uefi" From the hypervisor side the VM looks like this: memory-static-max ( RW): 4294967296 memory-dynamic-max ( RW): 4294967296 memory-dynamic-min ( RW): 1073741824 memory-static-min ( RW): 1073741824 So to me it looks like memory_max in terraform changes just memory-static-max and memory-dynamic-max which leaves the VM with dynamic memory control. I want the behaviour to be, when I create a new VM or change the RAM allocation for the VM to have static RAM not dynamic. I hope this is possible.
