    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.

    @danp said in XOA backups missing after changing IP on the remote: Hi @s-pam, I assume you tried disabling and then reenabling the remote, correct? Dan Yes indeed. Thanks for the suggestion. I did file a support ticket so hopefully I can get some support to solve this.

    Thanks! I did look in the XOA docs at first, but didn't think that network configuration was under the "Support" headline.

    @badraz Thank you for your time, I think I finally fixed it. This is how: First time I've installed XO from this guide: https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater I used Appliance version - prebuilt VM with XO installed. And there was a problem with negative values. Now I've tried this guide: https://github.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_updater And instead of using prebuilt VM version, I ran Installation script on previously created Debian 10 VM. After script finish installing XO and all necessary libraries/dependencies, I've all telemetry working properly.

    @julien-f said in Task list enhancement: We don't to do special cases for some operations in XO 5, we'll revisit this in XO 6 which will bring the notion of XO tasks in addition to XAPI tasks. But we'll probably display the elapsed and estimated duration of the task though Regarding previous tasks, why do you need to hide some of them? How do you use these previous tasks? Hello Julien, Well, it's not really that I use them. It's just that being so filled with information not useful most of the times, it's quite unusable (with all due respect for your great job). Example of what for? To see how much it lasted an already finished VM moving/copy operation. Displaying elapsed (and estimated, and I know this won't be always 100% accurante, but will be under normal circumstandes tho) would be great. After all, knowing the size of the object that it's being copied/moved, you can always extrapolate how much is remaining knowing how much it's lasting at any given moment. Thanks!

    Hi, There's no known mount issue at the moment. You can use SMB or NFS. XAPI is not able to push files, when you backup, an HTTP handle is created in the dom0, so it has to be fetched by something (XO in this case, or a proxy).

    @busthead If you are importing a VM from your browser, you should not navigate away from XO as it will interrupt the upload. You can navigate to another page of XO though.

    I concentrated here, after upgrading my second server: Error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /root/xen-orchestra/node_modules/argon2/lib/binding/napi-v3/argon2.node) I've found circumstantial evidence that this depends on libraries found in newer gcc than is in the Cent OS 7 repo at this time. strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep CXXABI CXXABI_1.3 CXXABI_1.3.1 CXXABI_1.3.2 CXXABI_1.3.3 CXXABI_1.3.4 CXXABI_1.3.5 CXXABI_1.3.6 CXXABI_1.3.7 CXXABI_TM_1 so argon2.node requires something newer than centos7 can provide?! and upgrading gcc does the trick? I may have to try when I have more time. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63374392/node-module-argon2-usr-lib-x86-64-linux-gnu-libstdc-so-6-version-cxxabi-1 Indeed here is Centos 8. $ strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep CXXABI CXXABI_1.3 CXXABI_1.3.1 CXXABI_1.3.2 CXXABI_1.3.3 CXXABI_1.3.4 CXXABI_1.3.5 CXXABI_1.3.6 CXXABI_1.3.7 CXXABI_1.3.8 CXXABI_1.3.9 CXXABI_1.3.10 CXXABI_1.3.11 CXXABI_TM_1 CXXABI_FLOAT128 and yes, I understand that XO doesn't target CentOS, but its our 'standard' right now.

    @bsodmike Increase memory to node.js as described in the docs under memory management. Adding mem to VM is insufficient in isolation, so my post above may have been misleading (sorry!).

    @olivierlambert I think that the default behavior should be VMs stay on the SR that they are on. If you are taking a host down and moving the VMs to another host why would you move the VM storage location, that defeats one of the reasons you use shared storage.

    Yes, that's the plan: involving community for feedback. But keep in mind we don't want to make a clone of XenCenter It's a web application, so it comes with some perks but also drawbacks from a heavy client (you are running in a browser with XO, and we don't want to change all web behavior without necessity to do it). Thanks for the feedback (so feature wise I think we are at parity level, UI it's another story I agree)
