    @cmanos No problem, glad I could helped. As Olivier also pointed above, it's not an issue anymore when using QCOW2 which is currently in beta, so hopefully it's only a short workaround

    Yes, they are created either: on demand for users when we need in XO 6 Now, XO 6 is becoming the main driver for new endpoint as the UI is providing more and more features.

    @carloum70 Disk migration isn't supported by the provider yet. What you can do it's only ignore the changes to the sr_id of a given disk. For example for the first disk: lifecycle { ignore_changes = [ disk[0].sr_id ] } You can also manually do the migration in XO and then after edit your HCL to update the sr_id with the new ID. It should do the trick.

    Questions: Placing a new VM in a suitable pool/How is a host chosen ?

    To pick a pool: it's up to you to decide, depending on available pool storage capacity, speed. Same for compute and network. It's very very specific to your own needs, there's no universal rules. Host selection for a VM: it's not decided by XO but by XAPI (except if you specifically ask to boot on a host). IIRC, it's a mix of load and memory available, but if you want to dig further, it should be written in the XAPI code somewhere

    @indyj FYI when I ran this test again it worked. this time: I ran it as a "Delta" backup. And then rescanned the removable media. I was then able to restore an individual file from the backup on USB media.

    @garrya Hi, it sounds like you've set up VLAN interfaces correctly on the XCP-ng side, but the switch they are connected to also needs to be aware of VLAN tags to pass them, or else it will only pass untagged traffic as you noticed. You'll need a smart/managed switch with VLAN capability to do so

    We are investigating an elegant solution called RunX. Basically, it might be able to transparently any standard "container stack" (Docker and/or k8s). See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m95hojMtsU There's some work to adapt that to XAPI, but it might be doable. This means XCP-ng could be "container" native while having very good level of isolation with very small VMs (only few MiB overhead).

    This is simple enough so we'll implement it in XO 5. Thanks for the feedback!

    5.79.3 / 5.81.0 All of my backups work (now), and speeds range between 5 MB/s to 20 MB/s. Most of my VM's are smaller (zstd helps a lot), though the largest archive is about 80 GB. Also, all of my backups are sequential -- I seem to remember a previous note where somebody had problems with concurrent uploads. My XOCE VM runs with 12 GB, which was the number that "just works" according to some of my earlier problems (and I haven't bothered to chase down or fine tune further).

    @olivierlambert having exactly the same issue as wcom939 reported. What did you mean by "Can you try with xe command to see if you have the same error?" ? Migrate using CLI? there are too many options:)

    @danp thank you, but in our case the 2nd remote is a hypervisor? I dont know how we should run the backup first then copy the VHD files to the the 2nd hypervisor as continuous replication also creates a VM? I am sure that if I can limit the amount of VM's that is exported once (it's currently 2) then the backups for the large VM should complete. Is there a setting available for this?

    Thanks both, agreed, in hindsight this should be configured on the VM itself as it could lead to unexpected issues (like maintenance and having VM's start by themselves) Thanks for the input

    Here is a good explanation: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xencenter/7-1/dmc-about.html Static can only be set while the VM is offline. Dynamic can be changed in live. When you'll live migrate a VM, it will be decreased to the dynamic min. So take care to use a value that's higher than your VM operating system minimum RAM usage.

    That's a way to do it. Use smart backup on tags. Eg a tag called "delta only" and a tag "delta+CR", so you'll be sure to assign the right tag to your VM
