    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...)

    In theory, Xen Orchestra got a protection against this issue (see https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backup_troubleshooting.html#vdi-chain-protection ) So you have to find what's causing a long chain outside XO. You can check in XO, in the Advanced tab of the SR view, if there's VDI to coalesce. Or maybe very long chain for other reasons, there's a tool we made called xapi-explore-sr.

    Use CR instead of DR then, it will send only the diff to the other host, so it will be faster.

    I can migrate this VM from another host (7.6) to the 8.2 host just fine: [image: 29412a19-7047-4feb-a82e-1b3d3ce61a94-image.png] Im not sure what the agent actually is, thats why im guessing this might be related [image: eb67e1dd-0979-4b17-94a8-b3d4f72397a5-image.png] VM that fails: [image: 153e71d2-3779-4894-b990-3b4f6b02e032-image.png]

    @s-pam said in ova problems: @crazytoo Best way to be sure it to boot the VM using a live-cd, for example systemrescue-cd or ubuntu live-dvd. Then you can use tools like gparted to inspect your disk image from inside the booted vm. That's exactly what I advised to do earlier, but it seems it was missed the first time I think that's the best approach to understand what's going on in the VM disk.

    @jedimarcus No. But I think the problem could be an issue where I merged two remote backup trees.

    Complete solution is delete delete all jobs with type "call" then delete this job ids from job_ids table. After this delete all schedule's with this job ids. And then delete this schedule ids from schedule_ids table.

    Hi, I think the issue was already reported on EVE-ng forums. It's a problem with their image and Xen, if I remember correctly.

    Hi, We never had the time to formalize that. But we do something "close": feature requests via paid support ticket are given a top priority. For the community feedback, it's pretty easy to see what's the most required via github repo or here.

    Hi, Please open a support ticket so we can take a look remotely. In theory, just removing the SR should be enough.

    @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!
