    @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.

    @itservices Hi, xen-bugtools is in xcp-ng hosts. You can directly get the logs from the hosts if you don't have the command.

    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.

    @Danp said in Live Migrate between two stand alone pools fails: It's difficult to know for sure where the problem lies since your XO isn't up to date. Wouldn't the host need to already exist in XO in order for it to be a migration target? Yeah, I had two host connected to this XO instance, just to help get an insight to what is where. I've disconnected the target host, and can see the VM on the desired host.

    That's correct, that's why I asked for a spec, so it's easier to build it while knowing exactly what's requested Okay so we can start simple I will make the issue on GH and we'll see how hard it is, to know when we can make it

    @hitechhillbilly What XCP-ng version are you runing? With XOA Premium up-to-date and the Enterprise support plan, I think it is best to open a ticket and let the support team have a look (especially for a productive environment).

    So I think I figured out my issue. The VMs I was importing were reading off the local storage of the ESX server which is a single SSD. Once I started one that was reading off the the storage device, it went much, much faster. I still have an issue with something else on imports, but I will open a ticket since I have support. Thank you for the help.

    @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
