    I had a look at your screenshots. The Topology dropdown is greyed out with a tooltip saying Requires admin permissions, so this looks deliberate rather than broken: the field seems gated on being a full XO admin, not on being admin of your own resource set. I couldn't find an existing report asking for it to respect resource-set admin instead, so feedback.vates.tech is probably the right place to raise it. It would carry more weight coming from you, with those screenshots, than from me. I don't know whether the ACL rework changes any of this, so I wouldn't count on it until someone who works on it says so. Might be worth a mention to @Team-XO-Backend, since where that permission gate lives is really their call.

    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/

    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

    Thanks for the suggestion, but don't you think we never thought to that before? I start to think you are considering us as 2 people in a garage. We are crunching numbers on a regular basis, and it never computes with those models. Proxmox is here since a long time, with a strong and "large" use base allowing to use this model. This is not the case for us now. So on short term, this is not doable. But be assured we are continuously working on testing various models to see what's the best fit.

    @rkelley You nailed it for item 2. Was driving me crazy! Ok, that does make sense for item #1 and was kinda what I was thinking. But it does lead one to believe you can't live migrate anything with a single host even if you have shared/remote storage available unless you poke around and experiment with different buttons like i did.

    That's "normal" if you are running XO (from the sources) and not XOA (the pre-built appliance)

    @Danp Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was following an older howto where --global was not specified. That was my first problem - now fixed! Second problem was that I had installed into the root directory of Centos7 so the paths for creating the links were different. Once I had found the correct paths and created the links all was good. Thanks again. Frank.

    @fx991 the SR scans can and have been helpful in detecting storage issues for me. Sometimes when my ISO library goes offline but XCP-ng has not detected the failure and still shows it as connected I usually notice it from the long running SR scans that get stuck. The "Connection to VM console..." task is when you have a console window open to a VM or Host...hence the reason why you can't cancel/end it...if you want to get rid of it then close all open console windows

    I can already confirm that I could trigger 2 Jobs manually in XO and it run successfully. Thanks! The scheduled ones I will see tomorrow and report if it would fail, but it is not expected.

    It could, I don't know what XCP-ng Center can do in details. But again, this is NOT a problem. I said it 3 times, why do you think it's still related to your coalesce problems?

    It's the default parameter of your template. XCP-ng Center is probably forcing fixed memory, XO is just doing template recommendation. You can change values at creation in "Advanced" section.

    Building Xen Orchestra from Source: FreeBSD xo-web:build _ Error: null

    @Danp As soon as I read that, I thought "I think I've been down this road before." Sure enough. I gave it 2G of RAM and it wouldn't build. I gave it 4G of RAM and I watched using systat and that final step went to about 52% of RAM usage. It has completed. I routinely run Xen Orchestra on a 1G VM because it's rarely used and it runs fine that way. But building it clearly takes a lot more RAM. I'll update my internal notes. It might be worth it to update the building from source docs to mention having enough RAM. Thanks for hitting the nail on the head with that advice!

    XOA got its own numbering, unrelated to xo-server or xo-web: it'a all a matter of a coherent "whole", including dependencies etc. Thing we can't provide when built on sources. Please test and report You can switch to latest too, doesn't matter.
