    @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.

    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

    It means one VM got a backup job that's not in your current XO. Are you sure you restored your previous XO config?

    @olivierlambert ok. For info: xo-server 5.113.0 / xo-web 5.116.1 Installed this version XO yesterday and tried a smart reboot with 14 vm's running. Windows and linux vm's. Of which some linux vm's have NFS shares which I use for ISO files and making backups with XO. These I normally have to disconnect before I can do a reboot of the host otherwise it will not reboot and had expected that this would not be necessary now. It took a very long time for all vm's to enter suspend mode (>2 hours) and the server did not reboot. Probably ran into not shutting down the NFS shares. I finish much faster if I manually shut down all vm's (and disconnect the NFS shares) reboot the host and restart the vm's. But maybe I am overlooking something then I would like to hear about it.

    Okay so you are right: we did not test this scenario, so that's why the error is cryptic. I'm adding @Enishowk in the loop so he can put that in our backlog

    If I'm being honest here I don't really find the messages as annoying as you are making them out to be. Sure if I had a choice I would want them gone, but it's really not a big deal, 1-2 clicks and they are gone until the next time I login. I also kinda like the reminder on the sidebar about no support, helps me remember that A. I'm in my lab environment and B. I'm using a from the sources version so I need to manually do updates etc.....

    OK I got it. I didn't think that the host was using apparmor, but it actually does. So it must be started using --cap-add sys_admin --security-opt apparmor:unconfined Now it works.

    Ok. You threw me a curve ball when you mentioned the "[XO Backup blah blah]" stuff. I think you are referring to the snapshots. If so, then yes they get transferred over when you migrate the VMs.

    Assuming I have the setting in the correct place, I'm not seeing any significant difference whether the setting is there or not. without setting Duration: 10 minutes Size: 41.71 GiB Speed: 72.5 MiB/s with setting Duration: 10 minutes Size: 41.71 GiB Speed: 72.87 MiB/s CPU usage appears to be about the same.

    @abelaguilar indeed you do not have to fill out the dns and gateway fields - in fact as you surmised you shouldn't. Where you getting an error or something when leaving them blank? The only mandatory fields are IP and netmask.

    So it looks like the warm migration of the first VM I tried migrating works, but after trying to migrate another VM, I'm getting a new error message: "Warm migration: task has already ended" Is there any particular process that I'm missing to mark the first VM as successfully migrated? **edit: Maybe I'm just impatient because after waiting another couple of minutes it looks like it's migrating OK.. LOL
