    @Danp I was going to do the upgrade over the December / January Christmas break in Australia but that is when this issue became apparent so we didn't want to be making major changes until it was resolved. I note @anthoineb noted the first report was late August / September 2025 which was just before 8.2.1 reached EOL, so it would be a shame not to have a fix for it tested on 8.2.1 as it seems an upgrade to 8.3 would be unwise while we still have this issue?

    @Rod-G These have 9.4.2-xxxx and I need to go through and update everything now that I see how far behind I am. the second VM completed fine after its reboot, something was just stuck in a dirty state and got in the way of the import or health check.

    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).

    Thank you @Danp , that suggestion worked! For anyone seeing this in the future, I just bond the nics on the master before adding the rest of the hosts to the pool.

    Monitoring Xen Orchestra with Icinga2

    @fesch said in Monitoring Xen Orchestra with Icinga2: Hello XOA Community, We are in the process of migrating from VMware to XCP-NG with XOA. We are using Icinga2 as an unster infrastructure monitoring tool and would like to monitor the XOA and the hosts with Icinga2 as well. Does anyone know a good check plugin for Icinga or another good solution to monitor an XCP-NG cluster via Icinga/Nagios? Unfortunately, my searches on the web have not yielded any particularly good results. I am thankful for any hint. Best regards Felix @fesch There's in Xen Orchestra a plugin called "transport-icinga2" so if your got a high enough edition of Xen Orchestra (depending on Vate's bundle) subscription. So if you have this plugin in Xen Orchestra and configure it with the following:- Server (as a http or https url) Username Password Filter to use You may depending on whether your using valid cross signed certificates or not you may need to configure "allow unauthorised certificates". After configuring the plugin then enable it to start monitoring Xen Orchestra and through it the XCP-ng hosts being managed!

    To conclude this: @florent and I discussed the issue in a private conversation. I provided the vmdk file that was causing the problem. It turned out that the problem was caused by the vmdk thin file from VMware Workstation Pro, which has a slightly different structure than the vmdk files on ESXi hypervisors. Currently XO imports these files fine and the problem can be considered solved. Thank you very much @florent for your cooperation and help.

    @omatsei I found the following error on the source host, if it helps. I rebooted it and restarted iscsid on both the source and destination hosts, just to make sure nothing was pending or hung. May 28 10:15:32 xcp09 xapi: [error||2507 ||backtrace] SR.scan D:9f4f3c05cc88 failed with exception Storage_error ([S(Redirect);[S(192.168.1.201)]]) May 28 10:15:32 xcp09 xapi: [error||2507 ||backtrace] Raised Storage_error ([S(Redirect);[S(192.168.1.201)]]) May 28 10:15:32 xcp09 xapi: [error||2507 ||backtrace] 1/1 xapi Raised at file (Thread 2507 has no backtrace table.

I ended up rebooting the pool master after manually migrating VM's off it, and it seems to have fixed the issue. No idea why, but whatever.
