  I tried this on my lab (with XO 6.9.1), moving the pool master to the other host with xe pool-designate-new-master and then back. XO stayed connected both times and picked up the new master, even though Settings > Servers still showed the old host's address; on the way back it took a minute or two to catch up. I didn't test 6.2.2, and I used the CLI rather than the XO 5 Advanced tab, so my guess that your older version is the difference is only a guess. For the XVA, I'm not aware of release notes for the appliance image itself: it updates itself after import, and the notes that exist are per XO version, in the monthly blog post and the changelog, both linked from https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/getting-started/releases#release-cadence-and-channels . How often the downloadable XVA gets rebuilt I don't know, so the 2025.12 tag may just be the date of the base image, but I'd rather ask than guess.

  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.

  The 6.9 release post has it as "Fixed: BodyTimeoutError during long transfers" (https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-6-9/), thanks @john.c. It's in the changelog too, I just didn't recognise it: 6.9.0 lists PR #10282 as the fix for assert(!this.paused), and that PR is the undici update behind the BodyTimeoutError fix. @jacob.becker it's only on the latest channel for now, and I'd go straight to 6.9.1, which fixes servers stuck in Connecting behind an HTTP/2 proxy (#10507), a side effect of that same update. The post talks about backup jobs in general and I'm not sure it covers the metadata job the same way, so it'd be great to hear whether it still times out after the update.

  @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...)
