    @Cygace Someone from the community may jump in and help troubleshoot this. The best approach would be to not modify the Dom0 installation by installing Zabbix via a community post, as you're customizing the installation. The vates team and XCP-ng specifically need to include these packages to ensure you're able to get support. Best of luck

    @Berrick Ah cool, I was anticipating that doing it live would've caused boot issues but I think I've just got a bug in my head about how it actually works, I'm conflating two separate things based on an incorrect interpretation of a previous experience I had once with XCP. Thanks!

    @olivierlambert many thanks for the very quick response, it is indeed XO from sources. I think the burst explanation makes sense. Also, thanks for you and your teams continued development and support with both XCP-NG and XO.

    What do you mean "how it works"? It's the same thing than before, just "isolated" from the rest, working in a... worker. And yes, the long run objective is the ability to run it as a service on the remote directly, reducing a lot the merge time (because latency is the worst enemy of merging).

    @olivierlambert said in Backup does not work if one host in the pool is offline: When you connect to a working, machine, yes it does But XAPI connection isn't persistent: it means, when the pool is disconnected, XO has no recollection whatsoever on who was the "real" master the last time it was connected. The only info we store is the IP address you entered in Settings/server. I agree, functionally speaking, it can be limiting in your case. A viable option would be to save all existing hosts IPs in the XO database, as fallback if we can't connect to the IP you entered. This is not a very common case, that's why it wasn't done before Looks like a good suggestion. Thanks. In my case I migrated everything from the poolmaster to the second host, then changed the second host to pool master, waited an hour and then shut down the old pool master (now just a pool member). XOA was online during the entire process and I had forgotten to check the server list.

    Hi ! We are experiencing these kind of problems because we activated Continous Replication and frequency was way too low. Now I want to eliminate all those files in the chain, can I do it manually from XCP-NG Center or XOA ? Thanks !!! [image: 1635327169557-c2aa1fb3-2ed2-41cf-b242-e2a23e6832e4-image.png]

    It can't be done by XO, because XO is using XAPI to make all calls (there's no XAPI command to rename a file on the SR, also XO isn't connected via SSH, so there's 0 change it was caused by XO). So it was done manually at some point (check your host bash history).

    There's no issue nor restriction to replicate a shutdown VM. CR will work as long as the destination VM never booted (otherwise destination blocks will be modified, so you understand now why we should block boot except if you really know what you do )

    Hi, It doesn't' work that way. XCP-ng is not capable of pushing any data by itself, it has to be pulled. That's exactly why we manage to build XO Proxies to solve this kind of common "enterprise" issue, when you have remote sites
