    I tried this on my lab (with XO 6.9.1), moving the pool master to the other host with xe pool-designate-new-master and then back. XO stayed connected both times and picked up the new master, even though Settings > Servers still showed the old host's address; on the way back it took a minute or two to catch up. I didn't test 6.2.2, and I used the CLI rather than the XO 5 Advanced tab, so my guess that your older version is the difference is only a guess. For the XVA, I'm not aware of release notes for the appliance image itself: it updates itself after import, and the notes that exist are per XO version, in the monthly blog post and the changelog, both linked from https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/getting-started/releases#release-cadence-and-channels . How often the downloadable XVA gets rebuilt I don't know, so the 2025.12 tag may just be the date of the base image, but I'd rather ask than guess.

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    @bug-meister Ah. That's cloud-init's support for templating user-data. The issue is that with these templates you only have access to the info available inside the VM itself. No outside data can be used for templating unless it is somehow passed to the VM (inject a file, set xenstore values...)

    @gduperrey said in XCP-ng Tools Storage contains VDIs I’m unable to Destroy: It seems that it is possible to clean old isos manually, via the command line, as explained in this forum post: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/15703 Wau!!! That actually works like charm! Thank you sooooo much!

    @andrewperry yes, we replicate TrueNAS to a "standby" TrueNAS using zpool / truenas replication. Our current policy is hourly. We then (plan) to do Incremental replication of all VM's to a standby TrueNAS over weekends giving a 3 possible methods for recovery. Currently we're running into a major drawback with VM's on TrueNAS over NFS (specifically VM's that rely on fast storage such as databases and recordings). We did not anticipate such a huge drop in performance having VHD files over NFS. We're reaching out to XCP to ask them to give us some advice as it could likely be in part due to customization we can make.

    @wildones It's good that the XCP hosts can reach each other, but that's not enough. XOA needs to reach all the hosts too. You may want to use an XO proxy to manage remote locations. Please read the XO proxy guide.

    @BenjiReis I tried to fill in the IP address with brackets, but then the discovery of the NFS shares fails. With regular SRs, it works fine without using brackets.

    In fact it's already possible In your replication job: Edit the schedule, check "Health check" box. Target the same SR than your VM are replicated too And voila!

    @stormi So I looked into the code of the ISOSR and there is a parameter for the version in the device-config. The parameter is vers but it can only be V1 or V3. And if it can't connect with V3, it will also try with V1.

    Hello @Andrew, thanks for your question! First off, I haven't tested Deno or Node with Xen-Orchestra yet. Changing the Node version can sometimes introduce bugs—some of which may be subtle. For that reason, I’d prefer not to venture into this unless it truly proves to be worth the effort. Secondly, in my experience, benchmarks don’t always translate into meaningful results in complex applications. That said, we are keeping an eye on alternative engines, both in terms of performance and the new features they offer. If we determine that the benefits are significant, we’d definitely consider migrating. Additionally, if any users want to experiment with Deno or Bun, they’re welcome to start dedicated threads on the forum to collaborate. We’d be happy to review and merge compatibility PRs as long as they don’t break Node and aren’t overly complex.

    @Danp So I had a problem with ldap, I read older article that mentioned doing this sudo npm install --global xo-server-auth-ldap which coincidently fixed ldap but that is when I noticed sync option were gone. This is just a POC and has noting running, so I will destroy and build new xoa. Thanks for help.

    @tuxpowered said in Rolling Pool Update - host took too long to restart: When the first note reboots (the master), I can see that the system is back up in 5-8 min. If I go in to XO > Settings > Servers and click the Enable/Disable status button to reconnect it pops right up. Again, does not resume migrating the other nodes. That is what I am seeing also, logged here https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9683/rolling-pool-update-incomplete

    The easiest way to guarantee it is to depend on a local resource (local SR or ISO).
