    @poddingue there is a notion of appliance too (group of VMs) https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference/#appliance-commands where you can start/stop a group of VMs, never tried it, doesn't seem to have a boot order in the vAPP neither

    @gcpeters4 said: @john.c This is a good idea as well. If the previous suggestion of trying to do a DNS round robin approach doesn't work, this may be my best option. Thanks for taking the time to provide your suggestion! By the way my suggestion is recommended best practice from Microsoft for their Active Directory software and/or technology. My suggestion will be more likely to work if your DNS servers and requests have issues with Round Robin configuration. Plus with my solution you can easily add more servers as domain controllers to the cluster, as required and use replication to keep them consistent and up to date.

    hello there, still XOA 6.3.3 here. since the last big XObackup & CR reworking, we have an annoying bug [image: 1778328477250-6db625da-2a61-4860-bc50-5c6adae0ae33-image.jpeg] This VM is 2.17Tb [image: 1778328523117-bc28b5ef-f37d-4bf9-b016-921309c17353-image.jpeg] how can be the KEY is 9.1Gb ? In fact the KEY size is good, but when retention of 10 points is obtained, the merging of last incremental in the first KEY point of the chain erase the size. So in our restore view, data sizes are all wrong, based on the sum of this key + 9 inc [image: 1778328703332-2e0a1587-365a-404f-9186-2b909605b3fa-image.jpeg] @florent could you do something about that ?

    Even if we add an UI to change it, I'm not sure that would be possible (or a good idea) to do it live

    @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.

    Depends on what you expect from "manage", but once a template is deployed (or recipe applied), it's all regular VMs.

    I think using a script for an initial test is OK, but if you want to really use it, it's better to follow our documentation and following the per-requisites by the book.

    In essence, you can write any script you like in your VM that would be executed, test whatever you want in the database, and if it's OK, write a special key in the XenStore. XO will detect it and consider the backup health check done and working

    What kind of backups are these? Incremental (delta), full, etc..? I think that'll help determining the issue, I had something similar once specifically with an incremental and was able to fix it. May not be related though since that was a while ago and on stable release channel for XOA.

    Hmmmmm I need to look back through some of my old posts and notes but I had a similar issue with a VM with large number of disks. The disks themselves being big wasn't the issue, it was just having a huge number of them that eventually cased a problem. Ended up migrating by moving a single VHD and rebuilding things (the specific system didn't really "need" all the VHDs so it was an easy fix for me, wouldn't be the case here haha). If you are trying to reduce the number of hosts though, why would migrating the VCSA help? If you're powering off a host then wouldn't you not need the VCSA to be running anyway? Or do you have more than 1 ESXi instance? Might be easiest to just migrate it to another ESXi host if that's the goal, since you won't need the VCSA once you fully move to XCP-ng (assuming you are doing so).
