    @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

    Hi! I was able to isolate the issue: It does happen, if NBD is activated on one of the network interfaces! xe network-param-remove param-name=purpose param-key=nbd uuid=xxxxxxxx --> Disabling "useNBD" did not solve the issue. I had to disable the feature in XCP-ng

    @florent Nothing large. Either 10 or 20GB. I'm thinking it's due to the same issue as here.

    So you are using a thick provisioned storage. Any snapshot will create a base copy, but also an active disk (which will be the total size of the disk). You can't cheat on that. Transforming a snapshot into a VM will create a new active drive that will use the total size of the disk.

    @ysageev we're fisrt making the transfer from vmware work through an HTTP link in xo-cli. After this we'll do a UX, allowing a user to migrate from XO , it will probably be a three steps form : connect to an host, choose which VM(s) to migrate , transfer progress Then, depending on the priority , we may make other transport ( for example if you mounted the VMFS datastore in XO, copied files locally or through SSH) By the way, we fixed a timeout bug in xo-server, that was cutting the vmdk/ova import around the 5mn mark, you may retry the old method

    Thanks @lawrencesystems - I've finally got around to watching that video, explains the content well, quite interesting to see that happening in real time when the RAM is being land-grabbed by other VMs when things are getting full based on the different configuration settings.

    Doesn't matter, the VMware script is available in there too. Just switch to the vmware release channel and follow instructions there: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/6714/vmware-migration-tool-we-need-your-feedback/

    @julien-f said in Search filters: affinityHost:* check it again affinityHost:* works now, my bad. got it. i mean if selected 16sockets\1core instead of 1socket\16cores i can only search for coresPerSocket:<2, but small vms really use 1-2 cores\socket.

    @olivierlambert "Please always use latest Node LTS."... Ok my bad. I didn't check which version is the LTS version. Indeed, it works much better. Thank you!
