    @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...)

    Hi, Indeed, only root user in the guest can read it Any user that can see the XAPI object will be able to read it So I would say it's "reasonably safe", but it all depends on your global usage context and level of confidentiality you need.

    Hi! Short answer: no. Restore is only for a "superuser" (admin) not for "regular" users. In the long run: maybe So it's up to you (for now) to restore the VM.

    @olivierlambert so I went to restore this VM from backup, and noticed that the monthly backup is currently running on this VM as we speak. Will restoring from this newest backup fix my issue? Or does it restore the issue back into production?

    @Andrew This was the answer, thank you! I had it set with 8MiB of video memory which was fine with an older install but 22.04 needs more it looks like. Bumped that up to 16 MiB and it's super smooth now. Thanks for your help! @olivierlambert increasing the video memory was the solution. But to answer your question this was in BIOS mode rather than UEFI.

    file restore on large backups ends in print_req_error: I/O error's

    @olivierlambert said in file restore on large backups ends in print_req_error: I/O error's: Yes, that sounds the next step to do Something is wrong during the mount phase. Also check you have enough RAM in your XOA. Ok, filesystem checks out - as far as I can see having: Done full restore of VM from the same Delta image. Booted VM, logged in and done 'tar cvf /dev/null *' of the filesystem I'm trying to restore from - which ran to completion without error. I upped the RAM for XOA from default 2GiB to 16GiB and re-tried - and same result. I can try yet more RAM if needs be but would hope 16GiB is more than enough? The console error on XOA is more detailed than my install- so don't know if this helps: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop0, sector 8912912 op 0x00:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 0 Looks to be the same issue, just reported differently. You also (on both systems) get kernel chatter about "tasked blocked" (understandable, as it is).

    Can't restore VM's from 'read-only' remote?

    @olivierlambert said in Can't restore VM's from 'read-only' remote?: A remote (now Backup repository) is meant to write backups into it. If you aren't able to write, then, sure, you can restore but you won't be able to backup anything. Yes, understand that - I'll have to re-test here, but I'm sure when it was 'read-only' - I couldn't restore anything from it, as nothing showed up in XO's "Backup / Restore' list of backups... The remote was mounted on two systems - hence why made R/O for one of them (this was just for testing restores).

    @Zevgeny Did you succeed to remove the protection with "xe vm-param-clear"? It didn't worked perfectly for me. Before I use xe vm-param-clear, I have the following: [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# xe vm-param-list uuid=37b7a201-eb45-b7de-5ce4-da25b1c7b547 | grep block blocked-operations (MRW): pause: true; hard_shutdown: true; (unknown operation): true; hard_reboot: true; clean_shutdown: true; suspend: true; clean_reboot: true [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# Now I try to clean: [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# xe vm-param-clear uuid=37b7a201-eb45-b7de-5ce4-da25b1c7b547 param-name=blocked-operations The value given is invalid field: blocked_operation value: (unknown operation) [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# After, "blocked-operations" looks like this: [18:28 xcpng02 ~]# xe vm-param-list uuid=37b7a201-eb45-b7de-5ce4-da25b1c7b547 | grep block blocked-operations (MRW): (unknown operation): true; hard_reboot: true; clean_shutdown: true; suspend: true; clean_reboot: true [18:30 xcpng02 ~]# In the GUI of XOA, the "Protect from accidental shutdown" is removed but not on the command line.
