    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...)

    The whole point to have users from the sources on master is to help us to find issues we might missed during the development (because it's a branch that's made to run, we only merge into it when we are OK with the new code to add after multiple code review). That's a kind of a moral contract if you are using it from the sources: you don't pay for anything despite having all XO features for free. In exchange, you can report issue or ask for new features while being able to see a fix fast because immediately after a fix is merged, it's available on master. If you want stability and no surprises at all (let's say to run XO in… production ) then XOA is the way to go

    @olivierlambert said in Migrate button enhancements: Hi! I think we fixed the migration issue in XOA latest. What version are you using? I'm running XOA 5.56.0 / latest channel. You are right. It is indeed fixed when doing migration from the VM list view: [image: 54ba8d18-bfe1-401d-983a-88f852edabac-image.png] But not from within the VM view: [image: 895c414d-1709-4a43-be95-316b038b05cd-image.png]

    Stupid question - do you typically host Xen Orchestra ON your XCP-ng host, or elsewhere?

    I am using a Thinclient for my XCP Servers. Real small and cheap (if it is used) HP T620 with a 64G M2 SSD and 4 GRam Quadcore AMD CPU. To backup some VM i use a external USB3 HDD. It is running very nice and smoth. Power is between 5Watt an 20Watt excluding the USB Harddrive. My coutumer had mostly two Servers and a Thin client. my own Thinclient is used as a server for FHEM Homeautmatisation

    Metadata Backup to Backblaze S3 compatible will not work

    Having the same issue here with metadata backups, tried Backblaze bucket and Amazon. Also the vm backups to S3 are failing usually with VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors) or "Error calling AWS.S3.upload: socket hang up" (but working to NAS). Is there somebody who made backups to S3 to work somehow?

    Again thanks everyone. you can mark this as solved. The step I was missing was the config step. $ cd packages/xo-server $ mkdir -p ~/.config/xo-server $ cp sample.config.toml ~/.config/xo-server/config.toml

    @duxepu Ok, this is weird, I'm not able to reproduce that and I don't see how it's possible. Could you check a few things? from an admin point of view, at the bottom of the VM's advanced tab, please check that the user has Admin ACLs on the VM from the user's point of view, when you're on the snapshots tab, open the browser console (press F12 > Console tab) and check if there are any errors do you have this issue with all the users of all your Self Service groups or is it more specific? Thanks!

    Yesterday I updated to the latest sources and my backup ran successfully, so it appears that this issue is resolved. @carlosfrederico You'll need to switch back to the master branch before your normal update routine will work.
