    @pkgw Planning an RPU as a whole is a nice idea in theory, but it's inherently designed to co-exist with normal pool management operations (you should still be able to migrate VMs between hosts B and C during it, or start new ones), we are not "pre-booking" memory and other resources for groups of VMs, otherwise it can quickly make the rest of the pool hard to manage while some VM migrations could still be far away. Regarding the narrower case - I'll note this down and see if we can improve things, thank you!

    Is a centralized XOA server "managing" two remote Proxy-fronted XCP clusters supported with the SDN Controller Plugin? We are looking to deploy an architecture similar to this blog post from 2022: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-proxy-a-concrete-guide/

    Thanks for checking. That's useful, even if it points away from where I was looking. Clocks within a second of each other means drift probably isn't your problem, and I'd guess the MST/UTC difference is just how dom0 displays it, though I'm not sure. What I keep coming back to is that your full backups fail while the delta jobs on the same hosts never do. That's the same split in https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/9181, where full backups hit BodyTimeoutError on VMs with big disks or a lot of free space and the deltas are fine. If your failing VMs look like that, your dates and the MST/UTC detail would do more good on that issue than buried in here. MajorP93 created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra open Full backup fails on large VMs / VMs with lots of free disk space #9181

    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. Release notes and migration guide: https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.4.0

    @hawkpro I believe it will be worse with continuous replication because your replica will be in a shut down state. When you decide to start it, you will have to shut down the original VM and start the replica. You will have a downtime during shut down and start up sequence. Downtime during VM migration is a necessity so there is nothing unexpected there. All types of migrations require a VM to be suspended for some time (usually seconds) during the switchover from one host or SR to the other host or SR. If you have extended downtimes of your VM migrations, then something is not quite right with your setup.

    @acebmxer I’m sorry to say that if those Dells are at your workplace, the wrong edition of iDRAC was purchased. You see with at the very least iDRAC 9 access to the full granular IPMI sensor data, was placed behind an edition paywall by Dell Technologies. Outlet temperature is just one of the feeds, missing from the Enterprise or lower edition of iDRAC 9. You’ll get the temperature readings from the Dell iDRAC web browser based interface, but not IPMI with iDRAC 9 Enterprise. To obtain the full IPMI sensor data you need the Datacenter edition.

    @kent you would have to rollback to early december 2025 XO/XOA (before the 10 of december) quite a long way I'm just waiting the devs to eventually fix it as we have other way to manage VDIs (API calls)

    @MichaelCropper Truenas on bare metal just as storage, XCP-NG is also bare metal on 3 hosts to make a pool. That's the minimum if you want to enable High Availability, it also works really well as a "normal" pool which is what I have. Rolling Pool functions are great, click the button and the system moves the VMS off of the host that need updates, reboots, moves VMs off of the next host, repeat. Only works with Shared storage.

    Second IP for Hosts Interface

    @jqueiroz said in Second IP for Hosts Interface: I have a situation where I would like to add a second IPv4 address to the management interface of a host. I am installing a host that will be used in another location and I would like to add the address of that location to the management interface before shipping the machine there. Is it possible to do this, or should I continue using the current procedure (making the necessary configurations and change the address shortly before shutting down the machine and packing it for transport)? there is a nuance between secondary IP and secondary MANAGEMENT IP if you have multiple NICS, you could add & configure the destination site IP on it, but it is not flagged management yet. once the server gets on the new site, you could access web ui by this IP address (or SSH) and then either go to web console/xs server or SSH and do the necessary to change management to the good PIF/IP ?

    Hi! ISO-SR over HBA/FC would be very nice, especially when migration form a SAN vmware-System to XCP-NG. One other thing is altering. Errors like "VM cannot be migrated" or similar should not be silent but should be very visible / even mailed to the admin. Another thing (could be cosmetical though) in my opinion is that a failed Rolling upgrade remains visible with a half fulled progress bar in the task-view. this is confusing.

    Large VM Migration fails, host has free disk - Storage_error

    I managed to do the migration by splitting over the two storages the remove system has. This made it work and I managed to move that one VM. However I still have a second one It's thick provisioned (LVM - never can remember the terms thin/thick). Offline isn't an option unfortunately since I need the services running, can't take if off for 15 hours. But since two of the services are docker containers, both having a separate disk of 500GB, I can make it work by setting up a two new systems and moving everything from the container there. Which would reduce the size by 1TB and make thing easier to manage. Was hoping I could finally upgrade the main xcp-ng last weekend.
