    I am running NVIDIA P40s on a DELL R720/R730 and a NVIDIA A2000 12GB on a DELL Optiplex 9010 in my playlab. Getting the GPUs to be accessible for VMs was quite easy: shutdown the XCP-ng host, install the GPUs, start the host again, activate the GPU in the advanced settings of the host in the PCI Devices section (“Passthrough enabled”). The host will restart at this point after displaying a warning. That's it – the GPU can now be assigned to a VM in the VMs advanced settings. I do use the GPUs for AI workloads under Debian though, so your use case might vary.

    @bleader Hopefully the palm print on my forehead isn't visible from where you are sitting. Of course the interface needs an IP address. In my defense, normally for something like this, I wouldn't put it on the bonded interface with all the trunked VLAN's for guest traffic (we don't give that one an IP) and it would go on the other bonded interface that isn't trunked and does get an IP, but these are test hosts and I didn't set up the other bond, so it is pulling double duty. I was able to set the IP's and get SDN working. Thanks!

    Having the flag "Protect from accidental deletion" has since yesterday left me with plenty of restored VMs. In the backup logs, it indicates that this happens during the healthcheck. This has happened on 3 out of 6 VMs Update: The other 3 VMs were opt-out from Healthchecks. So that is why this didn't affect them.

    Kubernetes CCM for Xen Orchestra v1.0.0-rc.1 We’re shipping v1.0.0-rc.1, our first release candidate on the road to a stable 1.0.0! This RC is feature-complete and ready for real-world use. Please try it out and share any feedback—bugs, regressions, or usability notes—so we can polish the final release. Thank you for testing and helping us! https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-cloud-controller-manager/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.1 Golang SDK for Xen Orchestra v1.11.0 SDK v2: VM and Task services now match the latest REST API. Host service has been added for host data retrieval. Integration tests have also been strengthened to boost reliability. The v2 SDK is gradually becoming our main library for all the other DevOps tools (Kubernetes drivers, Terraform provider…). There are BREAKING CAHNGES in the v2 SDK, so please read the release notes carefully. Remember that the v2 SDK is a beta version and can be subject to significant changes. The current semantic versioning we use is mostly for the v1 SDK. When the v2 SDK becomes stable, the major version number will increase. https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-go-sdk/releases/tag/v1.11.0

    @DustinB said in Export list of Backup results (to TXT or CSV): @KPS That might be sufficient for now if you can share it with me. I assume you mean if the backup files are deleted there is nothing to detect, correct? If the backup-files are deleted, the script does still "count" them, as it only parses the logs.

    It is possible to have both AMD and Intel in the same pool. My homelab had it until recently when I upgraded RAM and retired the optiplexes just recently. Live migration will not work, however, shared storage will work. You just have to shutdown the VM and "Start on" the specific host. In the VM Advanced tab.

    @olivierlambert said in Updated Permissions Matrix for XO documentation: Hi! Thanks for your recap, however: ACLs will be massively revamped in the future (but it's already good to have a view at the moment) I'm not sure about the viewer permission regarding VM console I converted that to a Markdown, I did however lose the header column (wasn't really sure how to do that). Anyways let me know what you think, and the Viewer permissions I really wasn't sure what else would be granted, seems like its only meant to generate reports from XO for a given system/host.

    We made the proxy with the smallest attack surface possible, so I would say it's pretty safe. But indeed, and as usual, it's a perpetual balance benefits and costs

    @olivierlambert Yes. Using Cloudbase-init. I'd like to use something like - hostname: uk-xcp-{something} Where {something} is a number that XO keeps track of per group so that for a new VM {something} is unique.

    That's exactly what I said When you create a SR into an NFS path, it will create a new folder with a unique ID (UUID). Then, all vhd files must be there "flat" (no subfolder). Also, the only format working is <uuid>.vhd, nothing else. You can generate an UUID pretty easily with uuidgen.

    @Andrew Thank you Andrew... sorry it took me a while to get back to you. It seems every time I have to go and update Node they change the method you need to do so and it takes me forever to figure out what I'm supposed to do. I still haven't figured that out, but that's on me. However, restarting the toolstack did not fix the issue, but restarting the XO Ubuntu host server did. I've not seen anything like that before, where I've had to reboot the entire host server after applying commits... but if it works, I shall not argue! Thank you again for all of your help. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a fantastic holiday season.

    @Pechkin000 It should be installed alongside xo-server, it depends how you installed XO on this. But still, it requires root access for security.

    @poltushima As there is no S3 support in Azure Blob Storage, no you can't use XO for direct backup to Azure. There are S3 proxy projects (here's one) that could make it work.
