    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

    Hello there, I posted in another thread an experimental Docker containers integration, not for production, but good enough to test it, see https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/12423/bringing-container-visibility-back-to-xo/9?_=1791618850567

    Your CR issue might be related to a XO bug on master, not too a XCP-ng issue

    Continuous Replication -> SR Disk space

    Hi, There is different things one must consider during CR: SR type: block based or file based? First one will be thick provisioned, so plan a lot of space (eg: local LVM, LVM over iSCSI etc.). Local ext/XFS, NFS or XOSAN aren't affected by this problem Snapshot left: to do a delta, we must have a way to compare to something. The snapshot which left on the SR is the one that will be used for the next backup. It will be compared to the current disk state and only the delta will be sent. So that's perfectly normal "Job canceled to protect the VDI chain": this is a protection to avoid doing another backup while the previous removed snapshot isn't coalesced. You have a link in the message, please refer to the documentation for details

    Continuous Replication -> Exchange Log

    @mts said in Continuous Replication -> Exchange Log: If you use the native windows-backup or a third-party application it will delete the transaction-log after backup. How can I achieve the same with xen-orchestra? I'm running low on disk-space right now... I think that you confusing physical (layer) backup with logical backup. XOA can backup/replicate/snapshot phisical medium which is a hard disk presented to your VM. It has nothing to do with the data in the VM (logical layer).

    Hmm I think it might be possible using xe CLI and creating the drives manually (creating VBDs I suppose). I never spotted such a use case before, but again, might be doable It is using VNC (via noVNC in XO). You can copy a template, but a template is just a set of "configuration" for your VM (eg PV or HVM mode, some virtual BIOS settings).

    Hi, If you are using XOA, please create a support ticket. This way our teams could take a look remotely to find the best solution.

    Thanks for the tip. I was using node v8.11.4 and had issues compiling during the upgrade then upgraded to the latest stable node version which wasn't v8.x. I upgraded to v8.16.2 now and it runs fine. Thanks.

    Indeed, 6.2 uses a very old configuration for keyboard mapping and therefore doesn't work correctly with XO.

    I switched due to SSD replacement and XCP-ng new installation. I didn't think about that switching from ext3 to lvm does also have an effect from thin to thick provisioning Anyway I found the explaination, here -> "a snapshot on a LVM based SR will double the whole VM disk size!" But I will think about to switch to ext4 -> topic solved, thank you!!
