    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. Release notes and migration guide: https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.4.0

    @Rocky most like a connection issue, but since you already restarted I think the logs are already gone. If it was a one-off I wouldn't worry about it (but do make sure that the backup is actually working, may be a good idea to do another full backup).

    I was able to find the reason XO is not working with cloud-init. XO attaches iso with the cloud-config data as additional disk xvdb and it does not work. But if you provide it as a cd? It will. That is why - as for now you will need to create your own iso and attach it as a cd-rom. You do that this way: Get your files ready (meta-data network-config user-data). My examples below: metadata: instance-id: local-nocloud local-hostname: myhost.example.com network-config: network: version: 1 config: - type: physical name: eth0 subnets: - type: static address: 10.0.0.5/24 gateway: 10.0.0.254 - type: nameserver address: - 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 search: - example.com - type: physical name: eth1 subnets: - type: static address: 192.168.0.5/24 user-data: #cloud-config ### RUN CMD runcmd: - /usr/bin/apt -y install mc - /usr/bin/date >> /root/testfile # set system default user system_info: default_user: name: testuser gecos: Default Cloud User # password auth - comment out if not using passwords password: testpassword ssh_pwauth: true chpasswd: { expire: false } # do some package management #package_update: true packages: - iptraf - mtr - screen - net-tools - atop Generate iso genisoimage -output myiso.iso -volid cidata -joliet -rock user-data meta-data network-config Upload iso to XO home -> storage -> iso's -> disks -> new disk Prepare VM/template Install Debian 10.6 with xo-tools install cloud-init and cloud-initramfs-growroot remove all network configuration leave just "allow-hotplug ethxxx" (network config will be added in /etc/network/interfaces/50-cloud-init. It will not overwrite yours) shutdown the machine and create the template if you want or just restart VM. DO NOT LET IT BOOT! - keep it in grub. attach your iso let it run It will do whatever you need on the machine.

    @olivierlambert said in Detached Backups: You can do that already if you like (combined rolling snap and delta backup). But what's the point? Oh, wow. You can combine backup methods in the same job (as long as they are compatible methods (i.e. Delta and CR). This is cool. I currently have separate jobs for my deltas and CRs. I'll need to make time to make the changes, but this will simply things greatly. I'll even throw in a few extra snapshots to retain. So, yea, this is pretty much what I was thinking of. I didn't realize it was there. Why would I need this? Well, when my WSUS installed the Xen drivers on all my Windows VMs, I went a day before realizing what happened. A snapshot would have been sufficient, if I had one from the day before. Instead, I restored the backup which broke the chain. @olivierlambert said in Detached Backups: edit: about your previous question, restoring without breaking the chain. That might be possible. In theory, after restore, we should take a snapshot before booting the backup and then re-link the restored VM to the backup folders. It's doable (renaming some folders correctly) but I'm not sure this will be very useful. I'll look into this when I get some time. Thanks.

    @spidernin If you go to Backup > Restore, it will show you the number of existing backups for each VM.

    That's precisely the difference: a delta backup is stored in a remote, a CR is stored in an SR.

    Not a huge deal currently, but if I had a number of VDI's spread out, it could exeed any single available space which means I cant restore at all... Can this be done in an alternative way via CLI?
