    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'm not against exposing this in the UI, it might be not that difficult. However, more traction will obviously make it possible

    In fact, there's 2 different things: Downloading and unpacking the updates (yum process). This won't change anything right now, because your current updated programs are likely running in memory (Xen, Linux, XAPI…) so only a reboot will make things changed: it's the current update button on the pool view. Evacuating the host, rebooting it to get all the new versions, and migrate back VMs to it (starting by the master) Right now, 1. need to be triggered manually (you must do it otherwise it won't happen: bad if you forgot) but everything else is managed at all hosts of the pool at the same time (good). And 2 is entirely manual. So that's why I wrote this, to get 1. and 2. entirely automated while being safe and giving you reports: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5286 I have hopes we can deliver a first version (at least from the CLI) for this month release

    There was a recent commit on Github dealing with NFS mounts. Suggest that you rebuild with the latest source and then try setting up the NFS storage again.

    @fluffy-bunny Use this to get your VBDs from each VM xe vm-param-get param-name=VBDs uuid=<vm-uuid> Then to get the name of each VDI file use this xe vbd-param-get param-name=vdi-uuid uuid=<vbd-uuid> But as olivier said, it is much easier to just use XO's disk view of the VM you want, then use the "copy" button to copy its VDI name.

    If migration failed, there's a reason. It's usually stable. Obviously, because your hosts weren't in the pool, a different CPU model can be the problem (they are automatically adapted if they are in the same pool).

    Hi, Remotes and SRs aren't managed the same way by XO. XO is connected directly to the remotes to do some read/write operations, unlike SRs which is connected to them via XCP-ng. So the SRs aren't directly managed by XO, but are managed using the XCP-ngs' XAPI and we are limited to what the XAPI provides as information.
