    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.

    Hi! We recieved a fix via the support after opening a ticket as suggested. Now the pool metadata backup is running smoothly again. As far as i know 6.9 will become "stable" after 6.10 is released. I'd still suggest a patch for the stable version, unless the new release is a few days. Best wishes Jacob

    @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...)

    @julien-f Maybe we do not differentiate "attaching" a disk and "connecting" a disk. I just created a new disk then went to a VM to attach it, then did the same on another VM without problem on XO UI. BUT it seems that I cannot "connect" it on both VMs, which is not a problem, I only need to know what's possible, and what's not to be able to handle it. Regards

    Having XO from source or XOA act as a certification authority for the XCP-ng hosts is for sure a good approach. Would be great if that could include the VMs running on the XCP-ng hosts, which is my main goal (apart from being able to HTTPS into XO from source of course).

    @olivierlambert this is an old command. Replying because this shows up in a Google search result. The current command is: xe vm-destroy uuid="uuid of VM" (without the quotes)

    @JacobyBarr Unless I missed it, you still can't use secure boot with those ones, so that can pose an issue in some environments.

    @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!
