    @cmanos No problem, glad I could helped. As Olivier also pointed above, it's not an issue anymore when using QCOW2 which is currently in beta, so hopefully it's only a short workaround

    Indeed, and it's clearly stated at https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/community

    I worked around this issue by changing my full backup job to "delta backup" and enabling "force full backup" in the schedule options. Delta backup seems more reliable as of now. Looking forward to a fix as Zstd compression is an appealing feature of the full backup method.

    Yes, they are created either: on demand for users when we need in XO 6 Now, XO 6 is becoming the main driver for new endpoint as the UI is providing more and more features.

  • Terraform, Packer or any tool to do IaC

    This approach isn’t entirely foolproof since I can’t use a wildcard, and I don’t know how many disks will be attached to the VM. For now, it will never exceed two disks, so I can explicitly include both in the ignore_changes statement. That’s an acceptable solution for us. Thanks for your support.

    Adding Server to Pool Hangs/Fails

    @sgroel Curious. Are all the NICs the same on the existing pool hosts as well as the new host you add? Do all hosts have the same hotfix levels and the same overall hardware architecture? Seems odd as I ran servers this way for years. Maybe also look at the network switches to make sure they are all configured correctly. Finally, any clues in the /var/log files?

    Full Backup Successful But In Kilobytes

    @Darkbeldin I checked the xensource.log on the server and found the error message "failed with exception Server_error(INVALID_DEVICE, [ autodetect ])" during export, similar to the post here: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/4319/invalid_device-autodetect-during-backup I checked the XO dashboard health and found 256 "Pool Metadata Backup" VDIs attached to Control Domain. Not sure how or why the "Pool Metadata Backup" got stuck attached to Control Domain but I guess it has reached the 256 limit. I "Forget" all of them and full backup seems to be working now. For the record, it wasn't anything to do with snapshots. The VM was OFF so I guess it doesn't need to take a snapshot before transfer hence the log doesn't mention snapshot.

    @bullerwins It's a wonderful feature, you can have customized filters for VM, storage, Templates, and Pools. Combine that with using lots of tags and it makes larger deployments very manageable.

    Cloud configs allow {{name}}% substitutions. From my perspective (as a user), for how {{name}} is used in my cloud configs something like {{address}} would be identical. What is the intended use case for the IPAM functionality in XOA if it can't be used like this? Real question, not trolling

    Also note the text at the top of your screenshot: to continue you need to select a boot device. There might be a way in that menu (or partition creation submenu) to mark that created partition as bootable, or maybe you just need to highlight/select the partition under "used devices" before hitting "done"

    @encryptblockr hope to try the same with their even smaller "CORE" images. There is not an .OVA download but .xz downloads that when expanded have .img . https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64.img.xz and https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64+intel-iot.img.xz cloud-init seems to require experimentation and these small images boot quickly for me. Are you then following Fohdeesha's instructions?
