    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.

    Hi! We recieved a fix via the support after opening a ticket as suggested. Now the pool metadata backup is running smoothly again. As far as i know 6.9 will become "stable" after 6.10 is released. I'd still suggest a patch for the stable version, unless the new release is a few days. Best wishes Jacob

    @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...)

    I got the same error again today. It's a delta job with two remotes. [image: fe12531c-52e2-4457-bc13-ee36db7f4fb5-image.png] Even though it says the backup failed, it looks like it is available on both remotes: [image: ca6eabb8-f810-44ac-bce0-7079755bc7de-image.png] srv01 = pool member srv02 = pool master srv03, srv04 = backup remotes XOA runs on srv02 The error seems to imply that it can't resolve the hostname of srv02, but that seems rather odd. I am using static IP only.

    @gigante said in Pool CPU usage is impossible: @s-pam I am unsure of the purpose of that, but at least now I know! Thanks! Just guessing here, but one reason is probably that single-threaded applications can only utilise one CPU thread, so they cannot go faster than 100%.

    @olivierlambert Thanks for the reply. I'll change to the "master" branch. I thought you were on a release schedule because you have a "releases" tab with the releases.

    @deoccultist Not much I can add there, it looks like a system error between your XOA and the remote. What kind of remote are you using? Does this happen often? Have you tried restarting xo-server or the OS?

    I can recommend gparted to resize your partions. It's easy and has a GUI. Important: you can't resize the boot partition without a live ISO.

    I don't think console is possible at all (I have no idea in fact, I don't think Docker got an API to allow a remote console display). XO could deal with Docker API, it's not a "physical" access in the container.

    XO created snapshots are too visible

    @olivierlambert So much for my memory..... XCP-ng center always exports a snapshot as a template. The menu item is called that and the xva files made always re-import as templates. The equivalent xe function is xe snapshot-export-to-template which does the same thing. The only way to export the snapshot as a VM is to set the is-a-template parameter to false then export with xe vm-export. Once that's been done it looks impossible to set is-a-template back to true. Using either xe vm-param-set or xe snapshot-param-set and trying to set is-a-template back to true gives an error "VM_IS_SNAPSHOT" I remember one of the backup scripts, NAUBackup/VMBackup if you're familiar with it, doing this and was never quite sure why until now. Looking through its code, it's creating a snapshot, setting is-a-template to false, exporting it as a VM, then deleting the snapshot in order to make an xva file backup while keeping the VM live. I'm not familiar with backups made by XO but I'm guessing you must be doing them in a similar fashion. Edit: I just did some more testing and discovered that as soon as I set the is-a-template parameter to false on a snapshot made by XCP-ng Center or xe vm-snapshot, it starts showing up in the xsconsole "All VMs" list and in xe vm-list commands just as snapshots created by XO do. In addition, they're showing up both on xe vm-list and xe snapshot-list. Fresh snapshots made with is-a-template still set to true show up in xe snapshot-list but do not show up in xe vm-list or xe template-list. They do show up in the list of templates available in XCP-ng Center when creating a new VM but those with is-a-template set to false do not. This is starting to smell to me more like a bug in xe or XAPI and possibly XCP-ng center as well but definitely in xe or XAPI. Is there any way to look into what's going on there?

    Continous Replication - smart selection by source SR?

    @olivierlambert You are absolutely right: tags are enough. My fault. We will code some cronjobs that find the current SR, set the right tag and that's it. If the cronjob runs before the CR job is running, we should be fine. If you will implement the other idea: I guess (as you can specify only one backup target atm) an option to choose: 'store all vdis in target SR' or 'store only vdis from source SR in target SR' would be great, but if less work should be done: just store all vdis in the target SR - no matter where the source vdis are laying around Anyway: great work! Keep on!

    @bret_miller said in Upgrade failed: Command failed: npm uninstall -g --silent xen-orchestra: npm version: 6.14.5 does not satisfies ^4.6 For the sake of someone after me with this problem, based on it apparently looking for npm version 4.6.x, I did this: sudo npm install -g npm@4.6.1 Then re-ran the xo check which came out clean except for being on and old version. Then re-ran the upgrade which immediately re-upgraded to npm 6.14.11 and completed the upgrade successfully. My theory then is that the upgrade to 6.14.x probably happened on a failed XO upgrade leaving the system in a state that I could no longer upgrade. It now appears fixed.
