    @Bastien-Nollet said in Full backup - new long-retention options: @Forza As your backup tasks executes only once a week, the schedule retention is redundant with using "Number of weekly backups kept" of LTR. If keeping the last 52 weekly backups of this job is what you want, I recommend you to set the schedule retention to 1, and the number of weekly backups kept to 52. This way, if you happen to execute this backup job manually (in addition to its schedule), it will not delete the oldest backups. Thanks for the feedback. I included that difference (52 in the schedule and 12 in the LTR) on purpose in the screenshot because I wanted to know what takes presendece here, the 12 weeks, or 52 weeks. I have not yet enabled LTR, but am considering it for this backup job so that I can keep 52 weeks, 24 months and 5 yearly. Now I wonder if each dailym weekly, monthly and yearly option are sequential to the previous, or if all counts from 0? Will it mean that I have: year 1: 52 weekly year 2: 12 monthly year 3: 12 monthly year 4: 1 yearly year 5: 1 yearly year 6: 1 yearly year 7: 1 yearly year 8: 1 yearly Or will I get: year 1: 52 weekly + 12 monthly + 1 yearly (at the end of year 1) year 2: 12 monthly + 1 yearly year 3: 1 yearly year 4: 1 yearly year 5: 1 yearly

    Yes, they are created either: on demand for users when we need in XO 6 Now, XO 6 is becoming the main driver for new endpoint as the UI is providing more and more features.

    @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.

    XenOrchestra with Terraform

    @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.

    @jmm Can you check to see if the health check is turned off? In your backup config, it'll be in the schedule just under the "Replication Retention" section. I've found that you can leave it on, but it will "fail" (despite the recovery working fine, unchecking it will get rid of the error on subsequent backups).
