    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...)

    VM migration stuck at 100%

    I ended up restarting the toolstack, which caused all of the migrating VMs to be in an error state, as they were halted but the system thought they should be running. I couldn't perform any actions on them. VM_BAD_POWER_STATE(OpaqueRef:f1f14751-cbc8-4a86-b98f-9e980b2b0d00, Running, Halted) After restarting the toolstack on all the hosts in the pool, they finally showed up as powered off and I was able to get them back up and could migrate them. Is there anywhere I can look to see why the migration got right to the doorstep and stopped?

    Why not. Double check there's not already an opened issue for this in XO bugtracker, otherwise, create it there

    @hoberion This should be fixed since XO 5.48 (xo-web 5.61.1) @hoberion said in notifications: @pdonias said in notifications: Hi @hoberion, what version are you using? xo-server 5.60.0 xo-server 5.60.0 was shipped with XO 5.47. Could you update your XOA and confirm that it fixes it? It should happen once more after the update and then it shouldn't happen any more.

    No, because SR ISO is read only in XCP-ng (so we can't ask XCP-ng to import a VDI there) sadly. There's 2 options: Modify XAPI code to allow VDI upload (and not mount ISO SR in read only). Then in Xen Orchestra, it would be trivial. Modify Xen Orchestra to mount the SR itself to upload it there. It's a bit complicated but doable.

    Personally, I wouldn't touch anything regarding XVA generation, it's deep into XAPI code. Rely on delta backup in general, it's better.

    @RKENS Good question, during the replication, a new VM is created with the same settings as the original one, and this at every run. Therefore that's perfectly normal that this property reappears. I don't see how that's a problem because, as you said it yourself, the start operation is disabled by the replication job. I think it makes sense that the auto start is set like on the original VM so you can simply start the replication when necessary without having to think about enabling it.

    I answered my own question. For continuous replication, delta's are automatic. I was thrown by a backup job where I mistakenly selected disaster recovery instead of continuous replication and didn't realize it.

    You do need a lot of virtual memory for build but you can get by with 2GB ram + 4 GB swap if you tell nodejs to limit it self, by setting export NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=3072' before starting the build process
