    I have two PE R630 and one PE R730xd. The two R630s show the IPMI data in XO but the R730xd does not. If I run ipmitool sensor from an ssh session, I get very similar data back on the 730 and 630. This isn't critical to me, just letting you know that there are cases that functioning ipmitool on a Dell does not seem to be enough to show it. There are some differences in the labels. The R730 has "Fan1 RPM", "Fan2 RPM" while the R630 has "Fan1A", "Fan2A", "Fan1B". Most of the other interesting fields seem to have the same names but the order is a bit different and I didn't do an exhaustive comparison. It's very cool that you are surfacing this data now.

    We are running Xen Orchestra with commit c3dcb and the auth-oidc (v0.4.2) plugin. The users that login are unique and not yet present as local users. The OICD provider is SURF with SRAM: https://www.surf.nl/en/services/identity-access-management/surf-research-access-management They support the following attributes/scopes: https://servicedesk.surf.nl/wiki/spaces/IAM/pages/74226142/Attributes+in+SRAM There are some IPs that need to be accessable: https://servicedesk.surf.nl/wiki/spaces/IAM/pages/74226067/IP+addresses#IPaddresses-OIDC . Outgoing traffic from the server to port 443 is open and works. We did try several settings for the Username field and scopes. For example the following: [image: 1774600482742-plugin-resized.png] This should create a user R123456789 The logging shows the following: mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: Expected values to be strictly equal: mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: + actual - expected mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: + 'undefined' mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: - 'string' If we change it to: [image: 1774600514661-plugin-2-resized.png] The following shows up: mrt 27 09:32:21 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0') I hope this helps to understand the problem. Thanks.

    Retrying the job after the above failure results in a full replication and a new VM being created just as before.

    @kagbasi-wgsdac Hi, thanks for the feedback. That's normal. It was a bug, and the fix was merged into the master branch two weeks ago. It's therefore available for XOCE, but for XOA, it will be available from version 6.3 (release in a few days). Having PATCH enpdoint for all objects (VMs/VDIs/Networks/...) is already in our backlogs but need to be planned. (cc @gregoire XO-2232). Please also note that you can update a inherited VDI directly during VM creation if you know the VDI's user device. (For example: {userdevice: "0", name_label: "foo-bar"}) [image: 1774605903853-capture-d-%C3%A9cran-de-2026-03-27-11-00-33.png] This fix is already planned to be part of the 6.4 release (cc @gregoire XO-1909)

    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    Have you read the link I've sent? It explains exactly the reasons and answer your question You can imagine that if we have hundreds of 3rd party scripts, each doing their own way to install, it means we'll have to de facto support them all, despite it's unrelated to Xen Orchestra itself. Which means spending resources instead of working on Xen Orchestra directly (or fixing XO bugs). That's why it's preferable to open a ticket in the Github repo of the script creator, because that's exactly there you'll find the right answer, and also making sure the script creator could even fix their scripts if needed. If you need community support in here, you have to install it by following the official documentation: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/installation#from-the-sources

    Just a reminder for myself, or other people in need in the future thanks again for all people who helped me understanding this Had to reinstall my entire XCP system, and almost forget how to configure Ldap plugin to only allow my admin accout to login So here's my Ldap plugin conf, to allow only admin user (member of specific group) to login. my AD is a windows 2K19 server with active directory without ssl. URI : ldap://dc.domain.net:389 no certificate info base : dc=domain,dc=net Credential : Fill = tick DN = full DN of service user (CN=xen,OU=service_account,DC=domain,DC=net) password = password of this account it's a simple account with no specific right, can only read AD and login User Filter, where it can stuck (&(sAMAccountName={{name}})(memberOf=CN=SG-XCP_Admin,OU=service_account,DC=domain,DC=net)) in real my OU have spaces inside their name, it work anyway. SG-XCP_Admin is a security group having my admin users inside ID Attribute : sAMAccountName and that's all.

    @Andrew many thanks. As do I. See my OP. A failed build doesn't break XO. It leaves the previous successful build in place. My post wasn't to ask how to fix my problem, but to point out the issue to others who might care to know (see my last post). Cheers.

    This is an old thread, but I ran into this myself recently. While there is a link to deleting the entire XO configuration, I think I fixed it with a less drastic solution. Remember: I'm just a random dude on the internet posting dangerous commands to try. It worked for me, but your mileage might vary. I run Xen Orchestra in a container (Xen Orchestra, commit e8733 at the time of writing). So I got a command line in the container with: docker exec -it xoa bash Then I ran redis-cli to get a redis command prompt. I typed KEYS * to get a list of keys. One key I saw was: 7) xo:server_host:172.30.0.214". That's the IP of the host I was trying to join (the master of a single-host pool). So I ran: del xo:server_host:172.30.0.214 Then I restarted my container with docker restart xoa. After that, I was able to successfully add the host to Xen Orchestra. Maybe this will help someone else. It got me working again.

    @jsox79 No I did not. Disclaimer - I inherited this FreePBX system and don't know a whole lot about it. Once I got it to boot, I tested by calling my cell from a desk phone and making a page, and both worked as expected so I'm considering everything to be working. Didn't realize re-registering modules was something I may have needed to do.

    Bit of a necro-post, but we're mid migration of storage/VM hosts/pools. I have a single win11 VM that's UEFI (not secure boot). It runs just fine on our old 8.1 server that we're migrating off of. If I provision a new UEFI VM on the new pool and point it at the shared storage VHD, it refuses to boot with the same "The emulator required to run this VM..." error OP posted. I've tried restarting the toolstack and "updating the Secure Boot certs" on the host server. Any guidance very much welcomed, I was unaware that this VM wasn't booting on the new pool (the VM is off a lot of the time), and we're a couple weeks from this project completing (and the old server being WEEEd).

    Not with XOA then (yet). We might switch XOA to UEFI in the future for that. If you are using XO from the source, sure, you can do that

    @olivierlambert The only thing I can think of from newer kernels is NFS options like nconnect=xx for hopefully more speed in the day to day range of duties. As of the pre-LTS, this still wasn't in 8.3. I haven't checked after LTS.

    @bleader Hi, After a restart of the entire host, port 6640 is now listed when I trigger ss. But, unfortunatly, tunnels are not working, every VM on this host loose connection to other in the same sdn network. Exemple with an ping between two hosts : 2025-10-09T12:22:54.781Z|00026|tunnel(handler1)|WARN|receive tunnel port not found (arp,tun_id=0x1f1,tun_src=192.0.0.1,tun_dst=192.0.0.3,tun_ipv6_src=::,tun_ipv6_dst=::,tun_gbp_id=0,tun_gbp_flags=0,tun_tos=0,tun_ttl=64,tun_erspan_ver=0,gtpu_flags=0,gtpu_msgtype=0,tun_flags=key,in_port=33,vlan_tci=0x0000,dl_src=56:30:10:5c:4d:ad,dl_dst=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff,arp_spa=192.168.10.10,arp_tpa=192.168.10.20,arp_op=1,arp_sha=56:30:10:5c:4d:ad,arp_tha=00:00:00:00:00:00) 2025-10-09T12:22:54.781Z|00027|ofproto_dpif_upcall(handler1)|INFO|Dropped 61 log messages in last 59 seconds (most recently, 1 seconds ago) due to excessive rate 2025-10-09T12:22:54.781Z|00028|ofproto_dpif_upcall(handler1)|INFO|received packet on unassociated datapath port 33 If I migrate the VM on the third host to another, network came back. This is very strange, because the network I've choose to test it is one of firt of all created, not last one, so it have worked before, and not now. I don't understand why and what to do...
