    @poddingue there is a notion of appliance too (group of VMs) https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference/#appliance-commands where you can start/stop a group of VMs, never tried it, doesn't seem to have a boot order in the vAPP neither

    @gcpeters4 said: @john.c This is a good idea as well. If the previous suggestion of trying to do a DNS round robin approach doesn't work, this may be my best option. Thanks for taking the time to provide your suggestion! By the way my suggestion is recommended best practice from Microsoft for their Active Directory software and/or technology. My suggestion will be more likely to work if your DNS servers and requests have issues with Round Robin configuration. Plus with my solution you can easily add more servers as domain controllers to the cluster, as required and use replication to keep them consistent and up to date.

    hello there, still XOA 6.3.3 here. since the last big XObackup & CR reworking, we have an annoying bug [image: 1778328477250-6db625da-2a61-4860-bc50-5c6adae0ae33-image.jpeg] This VM is 2.17Tb [image: 1778328523117-bc28b5ef-f37d-4bf9-b016-921309c17353-image.jpeg] how can be the KEY is 9.1Gb ? In fact the KEY size is good, but when retention of 10 points is obtained, the merging of last incremental in the first KEY point of the chain erase the size. So in our restore view, data sizes are all wrong, based on the sum of this key + 9 inc [image: 1778328703332-2e0a1587-365a-404f-9186-2b909605b3fa-image.jpeg] @florent could you do something about that ?

    Yes, you can ignore static min, 99% of the time it's not relevant.

    My apologies @Danp , I had misunderstood the comments on the other commands in that KB article. Good news, things are working, but it didn't seem like they would be. xoa run npm i -g --unsafe-perm https://xen-orchestra.com/xoa-updater.tgz Seemed to work. I was then able to run systemctl restart xoa-updater and xoa-updater --upgrade. After the upgrade command, this is the feedback: xoa:xoa$ xoa-updater --upgrade stable channel selected Downloading packages... xen-orchestra 5.95.2 . ok ✔ xo-server-telemetry 0.5.0

    @billcouper I 100% agree with you. I will add to this that it would be amazing if RX and TX nic/SFP errors could be made visible in the interface as well. reason why i mention this is we recently had a problem on one of our hosts storage links where due to a dirty fiber we had some problems (vm's going to read only, crashes, very poor IO). Due to how dom0 sits as a VM we could not get stats off a nic using ethtool or snmp. It took WAY to much trouble shooting to figure out that our issues was caused by a dirty fiber on the servers side. the more native/local self monitoring/alerting xcp-ng and XOA can do, the better.

    I do run XOA on its own dedicated host/dedicated pool, so the xcp-ng cpu scheduler does not cause issues with other busy production VM's while backup tasks are happening. this also allows XOA to use 100% of cpu cores making backups (especially with compression on) faster. xoa does DR back up to the primary pool in case something happens to the host its running on.

    Yes, you can always export/import the config on a working install. So it's a problem on your build, it's really hard to tell where's the culprit (because you built it, you see why we distribute it via XOA for production/professional usage )

    Hello @someone2b, Marc here, CMO of Vates. I wanted to provide some clarity on our new pricing structure and the reasoning behind these changes. Here are a few key points that led to our decision: In 2022, half of the support requests from Xen Orchestra customers were actually related to issues with the hypervisor layer, which aren't covered by standalone Xen Orchestra support. We've seen an increase in requests for XCP-ng support from users who only seek help after encountering issues in their infrastructure. XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra have become deeply integrated, making it increasingly challenging for our team to effectively support Xen Orchestra without also addressing the virtualization platform. We’ve also redesigned our business model to be more equitable, particularly for smaller infrastructures. For those with 10 hosts or fewer, the new pricing is actually lower than the previous cost of purchasing XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra separately. That being said, we didn't forgot as well all the remaining XenServer users out there and we are currently working on to have a secure and affordable path forward for them as well. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our sales team at sales@vates.tech. Marc

    The SR won't store the metadata. Maybe you have a metadata backup saved for this pool?

    @julien-f Maybe we do not differentiate "attaching" a disk and "connecting" a disk. I just created a new disk then went to a VM to attach it, then did the same on another VM without problem on XO UI. BUT it seems that I cannot "connect" it on both VMs, which is not a problem, I only need to know what's possible, and what's not to be able to handle it. Regards

    Having XO from source or XOA act as a certification authority for the XCP-ng hosts is for sure a good approach. Would be great if that could include the VMs running on the XCP-ng hosts, which is my main goal (apart from being able to HTTPS into XO from source of course).

    @olivierlambert this is an old command. Replying because this shows up in a Google search result. The current command is: xe vm-destroy uuid="uuid of VM" (without the quotes)
