    @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. Release notes and migration guide: https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.4.0

    Even with a sfc and cleanup, manually reinstalling the package caused the same behavior. I've got backups of this system and will build a template from the working backup for if it goes sideways. I've got other stuff to handle.

    Well, that worked and the VM booted.... Windows joins domain, and.... /something went wrong, redeployment required/. No desktop, no apparent way to check for errors. We're beyond the scope of this thread. Thank you! Serendipitously, someone from Netwrix called me soon after that. I told him I know the big two commercial virtualization names are supported, but all this /can/ be imported here... I also gave him a quick elevator pitch on XCP-ng, for as much good as that might do with a kinda new sales guy. From here on out, if their engineers can't help, I'm off to find something else.

    @olivierlambert about local mount vs xo nfs. i made new tests, XO implementation works not worse than native. That really good result. local nfs Size: 5.98 GiB Speed: 70.76 MiB/s - 81.33 MiB/s xo nfs Size: 5.98 GiB Speed: 79.01 MiB/s - 82.22 MiB/s

    @florent said in Import from VMware: @Olest that's a nice catch, every day I discover new limits of the vmware licensing . At least we could catch the error and show something useful to the user Just wait, everything free from VMWare is going away, so it'll just be the assumption that if you should be able to do it, you won't be able to.

    @mestafin XOA/XO is an appliance with a web UI that should run as bare-metal or virtualized instance. It is a multi user management solution, that can handle different pools and user. Backup of a VM allows for easy restore. No need to install it on a notebook.

    @Danp said in Backup Error: "302 Found": @DustinB You could try the same backup job using XOA. If that works correctly, then that would eliminate some of the environmental causes. Got it sorted out, and addressed a speed issue I was experiencing. The advanced options of the pool, I had set ETH1 as the backup network, which for some reason keeps falling back to 10FDx and is generally just bad. Undid that change as well as moved my XO over to a different vNIC which appears to have addressed the issues.

    Alright I updated XO again and the problem is gone. I would just like to comment that unlike described by another user that was only happening on single-node installs, this was happening to me in 2 out 4 nodes in a cluster. Two hosts would show normal, and another two showed glitched. Anyway, SOLVED!

    I'm talking about VM snapshots (and by transitivity, VDI snapshots). Retention is the number of backup you save on the backup repository, and it's totally unrelated to the number of snapshots when doing full or incremental backups.

    The code is entirely open source. It's just that the deploy is exposed in the XOA UI
