    @florent Thanks for your reply! We have started to migrate thousands of VMs, so disk transfer speed is important for us.. We will also do our detailed tests soon with different threads setting and publish it here. I think threads=1 is a good and logical default, but not efficient. Others might complain if you set it to a higher value. Configuration option would be a real good solution.

    Hi @pierrebrunet With commit c74a8 the problem is still present but the transfer was completed again. Unfortunately my installation does not recognize the "xen-bugtool" command. And both log files are not present. Is this something that needs enabling after install of XCP-NG? Unfortunately and unnoticed my syslog-server did not receive any messages from XCP-NG in the last 30 days. Other inputs work **Edit: I have deleted and re-added the syslog-server with port and now logs are being send to Graylog.** Thanks for your assistance y'all. 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.

    @ph7 Some of the errors you encountered are intended. We don't allow values in the "Virtual Machines" field if "Exclude VMs" is disabled and "All running VMs" is enabled, because it would make the plugin configuration confusing. However you're right, there seems to be an issue when the VMs are selected and then removed. The value becomes an empty list instead of being undefined, which causes the validation to fail when we try to turn off the "Exclude VMs" option. I'm going to create a task on our side so that we can plan to resolve this problem. In the meantime you can work around the problem by deleting the monitor and recreating a new one with the same parameters.

    @BenjiReis HA is automatically disabled by the RPU when it starts, then enabled at the end. - I see the task for that in the task log. We do have about 5 VMs that do not have HA enabled, but they are very small (~4GB each) so should not make any difference regardless of which hosts they were on. Also all VMs successfully evacuate from the host for the updates, its only when VMs are migrated back after all hosts are upgraded that I see a problem. I've raised a support ticket, if anything relevant comes out of it I'll try and report back here for future readers. Thanks for the suggestions, Neal.

    @Chico008 ACLs are used to assign rights to the guest users. As you said you have an admin who can do anything. In case you want to go with acl then your guest can get no leverage by using ACL create vm You as an admin will create VMs and manage other stuff but you then have ability to give three type of rights to the guest user. admin, operator, viewer In case of VMs when you give the admin right to a user then it means that user can have ability to anything with that VM. Delete, Reboot, etc But from you query you said that you want to give a right to guest user to create/run the vms to achieve this you have to look Self Service feature which is supported in XO from sources and in Premium XOA In self service you have ability to create resource sets which are pools, storage, networks, templates etc, and assign a user or group to it.

    I'm starting to think that something is wrong. Everywhere I check, I can see that the SAML request from the SP should have a signature of some sort. It doesn't seem that there is anything of the sort in our case. We are using the opensource for preproduction and are waiting for a pro license (paperwork on it's way) so maybe there is something wrong in the implementation ?

    @dinhngtu said in LDAP fails with error "Code: -32000 Message: Code: 0x3": sAMAccountName Thank you. (userPrincipalName={{name}}) filter made the trick. When I use (userPrincipalName={{name}}), it works for me either I set certificate check ON or not. (Actually I was expecting to check AD root cert as this connection is using LDAPS) And also test only works when I do it using UPN but not with username@domain format. Other filter options did not work at all.

    positive Update: today I wanted to continue with this problem, but when I logged Into XOA today, Master status was Green / enabled. Since no one execpt me has credentials to the Testcluster, I am sure that no one else had done something. So the master host seemed to recovered itself from grey to green within the last 8 Hours. There were at least 1-2 hours yesterday between execution of "pool-emergency-transition-to-master" and still beeing grey dot / Halted. xe pool-emergency-reset-master master-address=... then added the remaining hosts to the new master.

    bringing up the host and restarting the tools on master seem to stop the excessive logging. EDIT: Bringing down host 3 triggers the alerts again EDIT2: Looks like it may be due to how i shutdown the host. First time I put it into maintenance mode, then did the halt command. That caused the messages to come up. Second time I just did halt and that caused the messages to come up. Third time, i hit disable first then halt. So far seems the messages are no longer coming up. I guess i should RTM more lol.
