    @acebmxer Yes, 22 or 24 should work correctly. Some early versions of 24 had issues, but not currently. I'm running 24 and it is working.

    @florent I updated XO to master 60ba5, and still having the issue. I don't see any errors in the backup log. It just says "isFull": true for the ones stuck on full backups. The XO log just reports: Mar 24 16:26:47 xo1 xo-server[21199]: 2026-03-24T20:26:47.315Z xo:backups:worker INFO starting backup Mar 24 16:26:52 xo1 xo-server[21199]: 2026-03-24T20:26:52.359Z xo:xapi:xapi-disks INFO export through vhd Mar 24 16:26:54 xo1 xo-server[21199]: 2026-03-24T20:26:54.410Z xo:xapi:xapi-disks INFO export through vhd Mar 24 16:29:22 xo1 xo-server[21199]: 2026-03-24T20:29:22.250Z xo:backups:worker INFO backup has ended Note, it reports two export through vhd and does two full backups and one delta.

    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    @Nick-085 Thanks for the hint mate ! I wasn't aware that this script also installs a XO proxy. In the mean time we already have something like backup proxies in place because we splitted backup jobs to two XO instances in the first place since we wanted to separate test environments from "production" (so to speak). A third instance is used mainly for centralized administration (we are only slowly moving away from using "Xencenter" since we are long time Citrix Xenserver users). I guess old habbits die slowly. In the end I guess by coincidence we already build something similar to what a central XO instance plus two XO proxies

    To anybody who may stumble across this in the future...I just yanked it. It wasn't connected to the VM anymore. There was no data corruption, and the replacement attached fine.

    @flakpyro Yes yes, this is exactly what is happening. If you want to enjoy the version number, you have to install version 9.3.2 first and then upgrade to version 9.3.3.

    XenOrchestra with Terraform

    @ddelnano Sorry to drag this up and also no OP, but I'm just looking at how to set a static RAM allocation via terraform too so this would be relevant to me. Here's a snippet of code, it's using a generic Ubuntu 22.04 LTS cloud image template which has 1GB ram by default, in the code I set the memory to 4GB, which works but uses Dynamic rather than static resource "xenorchestra_vm" "bar" { name_label = "TerraformCreatedMe" name_description = "Terraform Managed" template = data.xenorchestra_template.ubuntu22.id memory_max = 4294967296 cpus = 4 destroy_cloud_config_vdi_after_boot = true hvm_boot_firmware = "uefi" From the hypervisor side the VM looks like this: memory-static-max ( RW): 4294967296 memory-dynamic-max ( RW): 4294967296 memory-dynamic-min ( RW): 1073741824 memory-static-min ( RW): 1073741824 So to me it looks like memory_max in terraform changes just memory-static-max and memory-dynamic-max which leaves the VM with dynamic memory control. I want the behaviour to be, when I create a new VM or change the RAM allocation for the VM to have static RAM not dynamic. I hope this is possible.

    @jmm Can you check to see if the health check is turned off? In your backup config, it'll be in the schedule just under the "Replication Retention" section. I've found that you can leave it on, but it will "fail" (despite the recovery working fine, unchecking it will get rid of the error on subsequent backups).

    Thank you @Danp , that suggestion worked! For anyone seeing this in the future, I just bond the nics on the master before adding the rest of the hosts to the pool.

    Monitoring Xen Orchestra with Icinga2

    @fesch said in Monitoring Xen Orchestra with Icinga2: Hello XOA Community, We are in the process of migrating from VMware to XCP-NG with XOA. We are using Icinga2 as an unster infrastructure monitoring tool and would like to monitor the XOA and the hosts with Icinga2 as well. Does anyone know a good check plugin for Icinga or another good solution to monitor an XCP-NG cluster via Icinga/Nagios? Unfortunately, my searches on the web have not yielded any particularly good results. I am thankful for any hint. Best regards Felix @fesch There's in Xen Orchestra a plugin called "transport-icinga2" so if your got a high enough edition of Xen Orchestra (depending on Vate's bundle) subscription. So if you have this plugin in Xen Orchestra and configure it with the following:- Server (as a http or https url) Username Password Filter to use You may depending on whether your using valid cross signed certificates or not you may need to configure "allow unauthorised certificates". After configuring the plugin then enable it to start monitoring Xen Orchestra and through it the XCP-ng hosts being managed!

    To conclude this: @florent and I discussed the issue in a private conversation. I provided the vmdk file that was causing the problem. It turned out that the problem was caused by the vmdk thin file from VMware Workstation Pro, which has a slightly different structure than the vmdk files on ESXi hypervisors. Currently XO imports these files fine and the problem can be considered solved. Thank you very much @florent for your cooperation and help.
