    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...)

    Question: Delta backups and snapshot modes

    @aghering the [NOBAK] option only excludes the transfer process, it will still try to make a snapshot of the disks. There are many possible causes for your UNIMPLEMENTED IN SM BACKEND issue, the most likely causes are probably storage related. If it is not a critical VM, you can try to disconnect the second storage disk and try again. If that doesn't work you might have to forget the SR and try (you can reattach it again, just need to remember your sr-uuid. Also, your /var/log/SMlog might reveal something.

    Makes sense now that you mention it... Perhaps I should have realized that because obviously the backups only run on my primary XO instance. Thanks!

    Yes, backup jobs require attached schedules to be executed properly.

    Hi @tony yes I understand that, actually I made a post a while back spanning different aspects of the XOA and where I feel Center is more intuitive but as suggestion for XOA improvement if anyone cares to consider it. Regarding the adding of SR's to pools, I leave my suggestion here, have a selector for pool instead of host, it'd be more intuitive imho. Cheers all.

    Becouse xoa backup is painfully slow... it's good for CR but for full vm backup, let's say it's unsuitable... on my 1Gb lan, full vm backup (DR or Copy) from xcp1 to xcp2 I have about 10-15Mb/s. This is the topic I've asked many times on this forum. And guys from vProtect brag that the speed im much better on their soft due to CBT not vhd delta - which I'll check in a while.

    AFAIK, you have to do manual passthrough for USB so if you want to attach ethernet dongle to a VM, you plug it in the host and turn off the VM, passthrough the USB to the VM, start the VM, never do snapshot of this VM as it will fail.

    Hi, sorry for the delay! Please read xo-cli's documentation, you need to use JSON when you want to pass non-string values: xo-cli vm.set id=89517372-b45b-ca36-4c51-dd17c0e760c0 CPUs=json:3

    You can map root to a local user you created on the syno (so it's all on NFS server side configuration)

    @gskger said in Backup reports on Microsoft Teams: @olivierlambert Thanks - that is what I like about this forum and XCP-ng: learn and share Exactly, but I'm really happy to see this becoming more and more common here. That's a good sign for this community

    Glad to hear it! There were probably an issue when updating the SDN controller's TLS certificate. The reload had solved it. Regards!
