    So if i set VMs to Best-effort or disabled for HA i get not enough memory. @pkgw Do you have Twinstore configured and/or HA enabled? If no I will continue my issues at the twinstore post. If i set to restart i get this.... host.setMaintenanceMode { "id": "35233210-4e37-4703-9bf6-9e8a9c24df9f", "maintenance": true } { "code": "HA_OPERATION_WOULD_BREAK_FAILOVER_PLAN", "params": [], "call": { "duration": 5, "method": "host.disable", "params": [ "* session id *", "OpaqueRef:d9bd976f-445c-8244-1b56-879f446efc12" ] }, "message": "HA_OPERATION_WOULD_BREAK_FAILOVER_PLAN()", "name": "XapiError", "stack": "XapiError: HA_OPERATION_WOULD_BREAK_FAILOVER_PLAN() at XapiError.wrap (file:///opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xen-api/_XapiError.mjs:16:12) at file:///opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xen-api/transports/json-rpc.mjs:38:21 at runNextTicks (node:internal/process/task_queues:65:5) at processImmediate (node:internal/timers:472:9)" }

    Is a centralized XOA server "managing" two remote Proxy-fronted XCP clusters supported with the SDN Controller Plugin? We are looking to deploy an architecture similar to this blog post from 2022: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-proxy-a-concrete-guide/

    Hi @simonp. The problem is gone with commit 44e5b!!! Up-to-date XCP-NG host and XenOrchestra VM were restarted after updating XenOrchestra. I just initiated a full backup and all VMs - including my problematic machine - were backed up successfully without error. Awesome! I will wait with closing until the scheduled delta backup is completed successfully, too. Edit: Scheduled backup ran without issue. The problem seems to have been resolved! Thanks for all your work and assistance Regards, Marc

    Hello I'm pulling stats for all VMs to understand CPU usage. We're a bit behind the curve in terms of XO versions, but these questions hopefully are still relevant. If using a granularity of days, the interval is set to 86400 (understandably) but the endTimestamp varies. Running this on June 9th @ ~1740 we get timestamps for both Mon Jun 8 01:00:00 AM BST 2026 and Tues Jun 9 01:00:00 AM BST 2026. Does this average across the day? Why is the timestamp 0100? Why would there be different timestamps between VMs (all are running) and does that mean that the figures are misaligned in the results? These are retrieved via curl and a bash script, a bit hacky, but for clarity the request is: ++ curl -X GET -s -H accept:application/json -b authenticationToken=[[REDACTED]] -o [[REDACTED]] 'https://[[REDACTED]]/rest/v0/vms/[[REDACTED]]/stats?granularity=days' Really keen to know if we can control the start and endtime, as well as provide a manual interval, as well as the aggregation strategy (min, max, average). Are any of these possible? Lastly, is cpuUsage the percentage as per the dashboard, but averaged over all CPUs? Thanks so much in advance. James

    The Kubernetes CSI driver for Xen Orchestra just hit v0.4.0, and we want it on more real clusters before it reaches a stable release candidate. If you run Kubernetes on XCP-ng VMs, this is a good time to give it a proper workout. What's new in v0.4.0: Local-storage support Automatic pool-discovery fallback Kubernetes metadata now lives in Xen Orchestra VDI tags instead of the deprecated other_config. That change also drops the old requirement for Xen Orchestra 6.4 or newer, so the driver runs on more deployments now. ️ Read this before you upgrade. v0.4.0 is a breaking change. The Kubernetes metadata moved from other_config to VDI tags, so you must migrate before upgrading from v0.3.0. Do not upgrade in place: follow the v0.3.0 to v0.4.0 migration guide in the release notes, then move to v0.4.0. What helps us most is hearing how it behaves on your own setup: what works, what breaks, which storage backend you use, and which flavour of Kubernetes you run (k3s, full k8s, or something else). Edge cases on real clusters are the ones we don't see in our own testing. Where to report: start right here in this thread. It keeps everything visible to the community and lets others on the same setup jump in. If something turns out to be a reproducible bug, we'll move it to a GitHub issue on the repo so the team can track it to a fix. Release notes and migration guide: https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.4.0

    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

    No. The parent folder. XO will search for the folder xo-vm-backups directly edit: if your share was previously <NFS_IP>:/myshare, then you should use this very same one, and NOT <NFS_IP>:/myshare/xo-vm-backups

    There's 2 reasons: XAPI doesn't tell us if the transfer is complete or just cut. We just stop to receive chunks, and after a bit, we decide that's it, there's no more data to send (that's the normal behavior even when it works!) XVAs are hard to validate, depending on various factors. We do a VHD validation (so for delta backup) but XVAs are another thing

    On the remote side, right? It won't be "dedup" if it's your question (for now at least). We are thinking on a smart way to dedup it efficiently It's not trivial because we don't have a lot of control on the host itself, but we might find solutions.

    @nraynaud well i just used the datastore browser to download the vmdk. i did the same thing with some other (smaller) VMs without any problems. All of this from the same ESXi host. Thanks for looking into it though, i will try the export VM way next but have to find the right time for a shutdown ...

    That's correct @mauzilla We use a VHD chain on destination so it's equivalent to get "snapshots" of a VM So it's delta everywhere with the same full parent for the same original VM.

    @slynch OK, that's very good news then! Debian was still having issues where any configuration applied via cloud-init would just be added to the existing default DHCP config, unless you took care to build the VM without the default interfaces config beforehand.

    @olivierlambert said in PCI Passthru Error not working on 8.2 but was 8.1: Hi! IOMMU should be enable in the BIOS. Double check that Also please share your grub config to see if it's correctly written. After playing with it more, the issue appears to be passing multiple devices of the same type. In this case RADEON WX7100. If I take it down to one card it works as expected. If I add more than 1, pick any quantity, then I run into the issue. The issue goes away once I reboot the host, and then I can assign a card, but the second the VM reboots the error comes back

    This can happen from time to time on master (despite we do every "broken" code in dedicated branches), sometimes you can have a surprise. That's why it's important, before anything, to get the latest commit and rebuild, to see if the issue persist. If it's the case, then reporting the problem will be helpful
