    @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...)

    @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?

    @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.

    It's really hard to answer precisely in your case what's your bottleneck without spending more time doing a closer investigation on your setup

    No telemetry, but if you have an issue with this alpha, please report it on the dedicated thread There's new graph and VM actions coming this month (if everything goes according to the plan)

    @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"

    I would like some examples too.

    @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?
