    Hi @dvdwx, RBAC is available only at the REST API level, not through the XO6 UI. UI compatibility with RBAC is currently under development. For the topology, this is something that has been here for a long time, so I may be wrong since I don't have the full history. However, if I look at the code, creating the topology selector requires knowing how many CPUs are available in the pool. Since a self-service user doesn't have visibility into the pool, they can't access this kind of information.

    Is a centralized XOA server "managing" two remote Proxy-fronted XCP clusters supported with the SDN Controller Plugin? We are looking to deploy an architecture similar to this blog post from 2022: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-proxy-a-concrete-guide/

    @pedro_udifar Hi, This is a b2 side error. It could be just a transient error, did you try to restart the backup?

    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.

    Edit a Bond to Remove a NIC?

    Take it with a grain of salt, but I think bonds are usually managed as a whole rather than edited port by port in the UI. As far as I can tell, the supported route is from the network section in Xen Orchestra (the bonding part of the infrastructure docs is here: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/xo5/manage_infrastructure#network-bonding), and on the CLI side, the bond commands are documented at https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference#bond-create (there's a matching bond-destroy command alongside it). My honest guess is you may end up destroying and recreating the bond with the four ports you want to keep, since I'm not sure removing a single member in place is exposed anywhere, but I could easily be wrong. If there's a cleaner way that avoids the recreate, someone will let us know.

    Unable to import Backup Config from Community Edition to XOA Deployed Appliance

    Ok I think I have resolved the issue. It appears that if you do not activate either a paid license or the trial, it fails with the import because many of the features are not active until you enable the license and then update the XOA appliance. Once I activated the trial and then updated the appliance again, I was able to successfully import the backup. My hesitation with activating the license before importing the config as the licenses are bound and I didn't want to have to redo the setup if the config did not import. Again, it looks like I need to activate the license first and then I can import the config.

    Good news, or at least, that's my understanding. This was a known bug and it's fixed in XO 6.4 (released April 29, PR #9681). Upgrading should make those alerts disappear for good. Thanks for the video, it made the report unambiguous.

    load-balancer : Affinity to Host groups

    @olivierlambert In my understanding, Anti affinity tags only looks for the tags that are attached to the VM. For example: Datacenter 1 Host 1 VM1-1 Host 2 VM1-2 Datacenter 2 Host 3 VM2-1 Host 4 VM2-2 VM1-1 and VM1-2 should be able to migrate to Host 1 and Host 2. VM2-1 and VM2-2 should be able to migrate to Host 3 and Host 4. But VM1-1 and VM1-2 should never be able to migrate to Host 3 and Host 4. VM2-1 and VM2-2 should never be able to migrate to Host 1 and Host 2. With the current (Anti) Affinity tags, it will only look to the tags attached to the VM, so in the example it would be possible for VM1-1 to go to Host 4, if VM2-2 would be at Host 3 together with VM2-1. But if we could tag the hosts, it would not be possible for VM1-1 and VM1-2 to be on Host 3 and Host 4

    @olivierlambert +1 For creating vApps GUI in XO Reason: I recently had this configuration: VM1 - Delay 90 Seconds VM2 - Delay 100 Seconds VM3 - Delay 0 Seconds The VM3 instead of starting first, always starts last without fail. One difference I noticed is that VM3 is UEFI vs VM1 & 2 being in BIOS mode. I read elsewhere in the forum that vApps is the only reliable way to have an order. Maybe if we can somehow ensure that delay works, vApps will become less significant ?

    @Bytevenidos That's an interesting way of doing this, I'll have to remember it. I think the Fuel Ignition tool has a vhd output, it also produces both ignition and combustion parts for you. Worked pretty good on one test machine, but I need to go deeper into some of the other choices you can type in.

    @omatsei said: @omatsei I figured out the problem. There appears to be a bug in XO that requires you to check "Check Certificate" and/or "Start TLS", save the configuration, then uncheck them, then save again. Then it should work. The bug is that they're unchecked by default, but apparently they're enabled in the background. Thanks for that, I was stump on this one trying to reconfigure a new instance. This is defintely the case even with the latest auth-ldap (v0.10.11) plugin.

    @geometry game 2 This usually happens when dependencies are out of sync after pulling updates. Did you try removing node_modules and the lock file and then running yarn install again before starting XO?

    UPDATE: its been 2 days and as I suspected the VDI is still waiting to coalesce at a length of 1, The GC does not seem to be cleaning it up. Does anyone have suggestions for how to remove this orphaned VDI and base copy. I'm not interested in saving the VM just cleaning up the remnants of the botched migration and removal.

    cant create a private cross pool network

    I am trying to setup the same VxLAN Private Network between two pools. I have been running XO from sources (commit 813514821) for a while now and encountered the same error "No PIF found in center". Therefore I updated to the latest commit 60ba5070c (still using XO v5) and now I was able to create a VxLAN private network that spans two pools without an error. I checked the networks for both pools and noticed that two networks were created per pool, so I was able to create it despite the error from the older XO version. However, using either VxLAN to connect two VMs in different pools doesn't work. Pinging a VM over that VxLAN in the same pool and host works, but pinging a VM from another Pool doesn't work. This is also the case when using GRE, Looking at the ARP Table, it seems that the VMs from different pool do show up, but as incomplete: [image: 1774432891674-screenshot-from-2026-03-25-10-59-34.png] 172.30.0.10 is the VM in the same pool as work (172.30.0.30), 172.30.0.20 is the VM from a different pool. I manually set the MTU size in each VM to 1450 just to be sure. I have two pools with one server each. This is due to CPU feature mismatch. Each host is connected via a bond of two SFP+ Ports (which have default MTU 1500) to a switch that allows all VLANs. Using normal VLAN Networks does work with multiple pools.
