    @poddingue I'm using XOA 6.2.2. Unfortunately not able to update at the moment. Which reminds me of another thing. Where is there release information for the XOA XVA itself? When I login to my account, there is only the download button but no information on what version it is. [image: image.jpeg] I would like to know when a new version is published and a changelog for it. When I import the current XVA it is tagged with 2025.12 [image: image.jpeg]

    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...)

    @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.

    @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).

    @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!
