    @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.

    @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.

    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.
