    Not until we can have our own piece of code doing it. Right now, it's a binary that's not Open Source made by Citrix, we cannot legally re-distribute it.

    *** Warning *** This process and the attached file is only appropriate for restoring towards XAPI 25.27.0. Use this procedure at your own risk. We recently put together a solution for a customer that had this exact issue. Below are the basic instructions to update freshly installed 8.3 hosts to the set of updates that were available on October 24th, including XAPI 25.27.0 -- Install XCP-ng 8.3.0 LTS scp the attached package_list_for_update.txt to the hosts /root. This file contains package versions from our update repository on October 24th. then, on the hosts, from /root: cat package_list_for_update.txt | xargs yum update-to -y This will output a lot of messages saying that this or that package is not found. That's expected. Then it will proceed to install the updates. In my tests, 73 of them. Once the update completes, reboot the host. Restore the XAPI metadata Restart XAPI Verify that XAPI is running. Install the remaining updates with yum update -y. Reboot package_list_for_update.txt

    Netbox Plugin: IP-address created always uses the "largest prefix" in Netbox

    @pdonias Yes, I was running a newer version than that but just to make sure I upgraded to 8068b83ffe58e6caed0cac5816ac2690479a9c41. Still the same problem, unfortunately. I'm not too sure if it matters, but there are VMs running in the pool that does not have an IP in a "smaller" /24 prefix. So if the prefixes 192.168.0.0/16 and 192.168.100.0/24 are in Netbox, there might be VMs using IPs other than the ones in the 192.168.100.0/24 prefix.

    Sadly, it's hard to know what happened without getting the errors you had (eg when you tell: "VM will not start" is very vague).

    @jivanpal Right; I simply meant you could start using these to track from this point onward. Also other options, like Cacti, MRTG, etc.

    @olivierlambert said in Managing different locations from one XO?: The code is open source but you need to install it and configure it yourself (if you are using XO from Github) OK, that makes sense.

    @Andrew it seems that the merge fails but the watcher still report progress ( which doesn't move) Can you see if there is an error before ?

    You can't add a host into another pool until it's "blank". It's hard to "merge" two pools together. So first, migrate VMs to the destination, clean the host and THEN add it to the pool.

    No need to update XCP-ng, we don't want to introduce a dedicated agent. It will rely on another mechanism. We'll publish about it before the end of this summer

    XO 5.72 Storage Maintenance

    @geoffbland Hi, thanks for the reply... That's what I wound up doing, installing XO from source on a Raspberry PI that I had. I used it to restore my XO image from backup, once I did that I had to restore all of my guests (12 of them total). I could never figure out how to get my SR out of maintenance mode, so I wound up creating a new SR and restored each backup to the new SR. All back to normal after restoring the backup. Thank god XO backup works so well! I learned the hard way that I need to move my XO disks to local storage before I enter maintenance mode for my iSCSI SR... Oh well, lesson learned!

    Hi @olivierlambert we have just come across the same issue again today after the latest update. Please see below the log file for the delta backup schedule that performed full backups instead. I can't seem to find anything in the logs to help. 2022-07-12T16_00_00.013Z-backupNG.txt

    @pdonias said in Netbox Plugin Enhancements: Why do you have those interfaces? Could you explain your use case and why they're not visible in XO? Sorry, you're right, hosts are not synced for a simple reason: there is no such thing as host types in Netbox (or did we miss something?). So we only group VMs by pools (clusters) and that's it. Those interfaces are for example wireguard interfaces or any other virtual interfaces. Obv they are not in xo because they are virtual, but in netbox they are needed because I deploy all my wireguard stuff with them. The host thing already was answered, there are devices which you then can link to Pools. KR Peter
