    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...)

    @ruskofd is right. You should be able to use the cloud_network_config attribute to achieve this. The following code is untested but should launch a vm with a static IP. Please see the xenorchestra_vm resource docs and the cloud-init networking v1 docs for more details. resource "xenorchestra_vm" "static_ip_vm" { .... cloud_network_config = <<EOF network: version: 1 config: - type: physical name: eth0 subnets: - type: static address: STATIC_IP/24 gateway: GATEWAY_IP dns_nameservers: - 8.8.8.8 EOF } Let me know if you have any questions or issues using cloud_network_config, As for the blog post, the VM would have been assigned an ip address via dhcp (assuming the guest OS had cloud-init installed which was true for the VM template in the blog post).

    @jedimarcus said in Clarification on an Advanced setting: @eangulus With MaxCPU you can do the increase WITHOUT shutting down... I'll complete this with an example: create a VM with 4 vCPUs and Max vCPU = 8. you can now change the number of vCPUs from anything between 1 and 8 without shutting the VM down

    @julien-f Thank you for explaining your plans. I am very eager to see the new XO 6! Perhaps a Christmas present for all of us? I just realised I have one more "peeve" with XOA. That is the console view which does not work well with Swedish keyboard layout. For example pressing Alt-Gr+2 to get at-sign '@' doesn't work. It also crashes the keyboard input so it doesn't release the alt-key. This always works correctly in XCP-ng center. The problem is in both Linux and Windows guests.

    Have you checked our guide to install Windows drivers? Check https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#windows If you still have issues, with your current XOA account in trial, you can open support tickets already so we can take a look remotely (https://support.vates.fr)

    @naeemarsalan Good catch, It will be added to the cloudinit script creating the master and the nodes. This will save one reboot to everyone.

    It's a little different, but if in Xen Orchestra you go: Home => Hosts => <host> => Network there I can see my storage IP addresses comparable to that "IP Address Configuration" part. Except that here, all the networks are listed in the same list. Can you see if that's what you are looking for?

    Existing HA level is at VM level. It means, if the VM is down (or the host on the VM is running is down), it will be booted on a working host in that pool. For hyperconvergence, it's far from being a miracle solution. It costs a lot of thinking, planning and maintenance (and careful usage of it). Like HA in the end. So before asking for advanced features, it's good to think about what you really need.

    @olivierlambert Thanks, I tried running fstrim but it returned "the discard operation is not supported" on this NFS SR mount. I also tried running on SSD mounts which do support TRIM and they all returned the same message about "discard...not supported." The VM OS (CentOS 7.8) does support TRIM in kernel so not sure if xcp-ng or xenserver is the reason why the VM can't issue fstrim on the NFS SR mount or the SSD SR mounts.

    When you migrate a VDI to another SR, its UUID is changed. So it's like a "new VDI". However, there's an issue opened a while ago: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/2896 We did not have a priority on this because not a lot of people asked for it. I think it could be a good optional feature in a job.

    So far, I noticed this problem for three VMs. Each time I am trying to perform a backup with zstd compression through XO, the backup is marked as successful, but output XVA file is damaged (incomplete). The backup works fine for all other VMs, and I cannot pinpoint what is special about these faulty VMs.

    Hi, It failed because you changed the npm version manually. You can indeed re-deploy a fresh XOA, export the configuration and import it on the new one.
