    Well, after a little more digging...I find that this is still not a 'clean' solution imo. I mean, if you're big into APIs....I guess. But, I'd like to see something intuitive in the webUI. Would like to see @julienxovates and @olivierlambert make this a UI feature, instead of a CLI function..or separate URL(swagger) function Thanks!

    Hello @ludalm13, Thanks for your contribution and sorry for not giving an answer earlier. We initially planned to review your PR while doing some additional work on the audit plugin, but our planning evolved and that work was postponed. We'll review your PR in the following days.

    Thanks, that helps. Some VMs fail to the Synology but pass to S3, and some the other way round. So I think the backups on Ark are probably fine (they pass health checks, as you said at the start) and it has more to do with what each target already holds, but I could be wrong. I'd also flag the several delta jobs with different retentions all feeding Ark, I just don't know the mirror code well enough to say whether that matters. @Team-XO-Backend, posts 6 and 10 have the log and the pattern if someone gets to this one.

    Hi, This was fixed in Latest. But if you need to stay on Stable, you can open a ticket to have a patch.

    For anyone else who steps through this, I've also installed the latest xen-guest-agent with the below process. Repeat for each host in the environment, 1 at a time from your Helper VM. ### ssh into your helper ### oc debug node/fedora-cmp-1/2/3 chroot /host cd /var/tmp curl -LO https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/6041686376/artifacts/raw/RPMS/x86_64/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm sudo rpm-ostree install /var/tmp/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm mkdir /var/tmp/xga && cd /var/tmp/xga rpm2cpio ../xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv ### From your helper... DRAIN YOUR WORKERS ### oc adm drain fedora-cmp-1/2/3 --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data ### log back into fedora-cmp-1/2/3... ### sudo systemctl reboot ### from helper ### oc adm uncordon fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### login to fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### chroot /host sudo systemctl enable --now xen-guest-agent And then from XO this is what your VMs will look like.

    @olivierlambert said in Feature Request: XCP-ng. The idea is to make it open via a XAPI call when needed (or automatically when XAPI is down). @guiltykeyboard A bit similar to how VMware ESXi handles SSH server, it has SSH stopped and/or disabled until requested in its web interface. Unlike possibly VMware ESXi its going to automatically enable and start the SSH server if XAPI is down!

    @olivierlambert I would agree... one of those odd glitches that occurred during the build process that corrected itself on a second run. Thanks for everyone's help... please go ahead and close this out!

    @Danp Deleting and then re-creating doesnt always work if there's another partition (swap) after. I usually do this: fdisk -l /dev/xvda (note the end blocks of the last partition under the End column) fdisk /dev/xvda n accept the defaults except starting blocks (use next free block as starting block) w vgextend almalinux /dev/xvda3 (if thats the number you saw when creating the new partition) lvresize /dev/template-vg/almalinux-root -l +100%FREE -r

    @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).

    You can lazy umount a failed network share, then PBD unplug will work.
