    @john.c I've put this on the feedback portal as a feature request, so it doesn't get buried in a thread that started out about pool masters: https://feedback.vates.tech/posts/121/publish-build-date-and-package-manifest-sbom-with-the-xoa-xva-download . As far as I know votes there help the team prioritise, so if you and @Forza want it, that's the place to say so. There's an open PR adding SBOM generation (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/10368), but going by the files it touches it covers XO's own JavaScript dependencies, not the Debian packages in the appliance. I've only looked at the file list, not the code, so happy to be corrected. How often the downloadable XVA gets rebuilt, I still don't know: @Danp said back in 2024 that it isn't rebuilt for every XOA release (https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/81220), which would fit the 2025.12 tag, but I'd rather not guess beyond that.

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    Glad the ticket sorted it, @jacob.becker, and thanks for coming back to say so. I don't know whether a patch for the stable channel is planned before 6.9 moves there. If someone else on stable lands here with the same Body Timeout Error, opening a ticket like you did seems to be the quickest route for now.

    @bug-meister Yeah, I would say the "mechanism" is deprecated too. Getting this mechanism to work, either by using ansible-pull or by some clever scripting during the first boot, requires Ansible to be preinstalled on your VM templates. That just makes your VMs messy and bloated with additional stuff you only use once. Also, managing Ansible versions becomes more complex. If Ansible is installed from distro repositories, you will have all different versions of Ansible across different distros. If you use pip to install Ansible, it can mess up your system if Ansible dependencies are installed on a system level. You can use Python virtual environments to prevent that but requires additional managing. It's much better and much more practical to have Ansible installed and used from a single place - Control Node. That way you have one place, one OS, one Ansible version to think about. You already have a machine you are accessing your VMs from? Use that as a control node... unless it is Windows?

    @Andrew I did suspect that would be sufficient, but we need to think at feature level, and as mentionned there is no such thing we could do "quickly" for linux and other OSes. I anyway did a brain dump of my investigation before posting my previous message and we do now have an entry in the roadmap for it, which was not the case previously.

    @simonp said: @acebmxer Hi, Thanks to your help we were able to identify an issue with Redis that we think is the source of the v6 dashboard loading issue. Could you try and checkout the fix_redis_encryption_issue branch, rebuild xo and restart ? This should solve the 401 issues. Switched back to Master branch and made some changes to my install script. add diagnostics for missing XO 6 web UI build artifacts Plain bash [[ -f ]] fails silently on unreadable paths owned by SERVICE_USER, causing false-positive missing-artifact warnings. Switch all file/dir tests and grep calls to use sudo. SUCCESS] Xen Orchestra built successfully [INFO] Build verification passed: dist — all JS chunks present.

    Edit a Bond to Remove a NIC?

    Take it with a grain of salt, but I think bonds are usually managed as a whole rather than edited port by port in the UI. As far as I can tell, the supported route is from the network section in Xen Orchestra (the bonding part of the infrastructure docs is here: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/xo5/manage_infrastructure#network-bonding), and on the CLI side, the bond commands are documented at https://docs.xcp-ng.org/appendix/cli_reference#bond-create (there's a matching bond-destroy command alongside it). My honest guess is you may end up destroying and recreating the bond with the four ports you want to keep, since I'm not sure removing a single member in place is exposed anywhere, but I could easily be wrong. If there's a cleaner way that avoids the recreate, someone will let us know.

    Unable to import Backup Config from Community Edition to XOA Deployed Appliance

    Ok I think I have resolved the issue. It appears that if you do not activate either a paid license or the trial, it fails with the import because many of the features are not active until you enable the license and then update the XOA appliance. Once I activated the trial and then updated the appliance again, I was able to successfully import the backup. My hesitation with activating the license before importing the config as the licenses are bound and I didn't want to have to redo the setup if the config did not import. Again, it looks like I need to activate the license first and then I can import the config.

    @MathieuRA I noticed you merged https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9787 I just tried it. And it does seem to fix my original issue! Thank you! I am always impressed by you guys. Making testing and reporting upstream (to you guys) a good experience!

    load-balancer : Affinity to Host groups

    @olivierlambert In my understanding, Anti affinity tags only looks for the tags that are attached to the VM. For example: Datacenter 1 Host 1 VM1-1 Host 2 VM1-2 Datacenter 2 Host 3 VM2-1 Host 4 VM2-2 VM1-1 and VM1-2 should be able to migrate to Host 1 and Host 2. VM2-1 and VM2-2 should be able to migrate to Host 3 and Host 4. But VM1-1 and VM1-2 should never be able to migrate to Host 3 and Host 4. VM2-1 and VM2-2 should never be able to migrate to Host 1 and Host 2. With the current (Anti) Affinity tags, it will only look to the tags attached to the VM, so in the example it would be possible for VM1-1 to go to Host 4, if VM2-2 would be at Host 3 together with VM2-1. But if we could tag the hosts, it would not be possible for VM1-1 and VM1-2 to be on Host 3 and Host 4

    Managing vAPPs with XOA

    @olivierlambert +1 For creating vApps GUI in XO Reason: I recently had this configuration: VM1 - Delay 90 Seconds VM2 - Delay 100 Seconds VM3 - Delay 0 Seconds The VM3 instead of starting first, always starts last without fail. One difference I noticed is that VM3 is UEFI vs VM1 & 2 being in BIOS mode. I read elsewhere in the forum that vApps is the only reliable way to have an order. Maybe if we can somehow ensure that delay works, vApps will become less significant ?

    @Bytevenidos That's an interesting way of doing this, I'll have to remember it. I think the Fuel Ignition tool has a vhd output, it also produces both ignition and combustion parts for you. Worked pretty good on one test machine, but I need to go deeper into some of the other choices you can type in.

    @omatsei said: @omatsei I figured out the problem. There appears to be a bug in XO that requires you to check "Check Certificate" and/or "Start TLS", save the configuration, then uncheck them, then save again. Then it should work. The bug is that they're unchecked by default, but apparently they're enabled in the background. Thanks for that, I was stump on this one trying to reconfigure a new instance. This is defintely the case even with the latest auth-ldap (v0.10.11) plugin.
