    I am running NVIDIA P40s on a DELL R720/R730 and a NVIDIA A2000 12GB on a DELL Optiplex 9010 in my playlab. Getting the GPUs to be accessible for VMs was quite easy: shutdown the XCP-ng host, install the GPUs, start the host again, activate the GPU in the advanced settings of the host in the PCI Devices section (“Passthrough enabled”). The host will restart at this point after displaying a warning. That's it – the GPU can now be assigned to a VM in the VMs advanced settings. I do use the GPUs for AI workloads under Debian though, so your use case might vary.

    @bleader Hopefully the palm print on my forehead isn't visible from where you are sitting. Of course the interface needs an IP address. In my defense, normally for something like this, I wouldn't put it on the bonded interface with all the trunked VLAN's for guest traffic (we don't give that one an IP) and it would go on the other bonded interface that isn't trunked and does get an IP, but these are test hosts and I didn't set up the other bond, so it is pulling double duty. I was able to set the IP's and get SDN working. Thanks!

    @Greg_E or just uncheck the "protection"-flag. But that get tedious very quickly. And I only had to do it on 6 VMs.

    Kubernetes CCM for Xen Orchestra v1.0.0-rc.1 We’re shipping v1.0.0-rc.1, our first release candidate on the road to a stable 1.0.0! This RC is feature-complete and ready for real-world use. Please try it out and share any feedback—bugs, regressions, or usability notes—so we can polish the final release. Thank you for testing and helping us! https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-cloud-controller-manager/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.1 Golang SDK for Xen Orchestra v1.11.0 SDK v2: VM and Task services now match the latest REST API. Host service has been added for host data retrieval. Integration tests have also been strengthened to boost reliability. The v2 SDK is gradually becoming our main library for all the other DevOps tools (Kubernetes drivers, Terraform provider…). There are BREAKING CAHNGES in the v2 SDK, so please read the release notes carefully. Remember that the v2 SDK is a beta version and can be subject to significant changes. The current semantic versioning we use is mostly for the v1 SDK. When the v2 SDK becomes stable, the major version number will increase. https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-go-sdk/releases/tag/v1.11.0

    @Gheppy I am not an expert on the network part but I can help on the NBD part We added some info in this PR https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6596, it should be merged in this form or another in master in a few days. It will give the user more info on the NBD usage and the cause (misconfiguration, or network error) Then if XO ( or the proxy) can't connect to the host through the NBD (for example with a network filtering/ routing), it will fall back to the reliable (but non parallelizable) api call Finally , the backup done with NBD or the legacy api call will produce exactly the same data so they are compatibles, but using the same target (as in the same directory , same remote and same VMs) for multiple job can lead to complex support tickets with interesting race conditions. I would advise to only use the same remote/directory only if the backups jobs does not concern the same VMs fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed feat(@xen-orchestra/backups): more information on nbd backups #6596

    @cdbessig that's strange Since S3 remote are only able to store blocks, the option is enforced on save ( without any uI) I tested locally and the options seems to be there. Can you show me a screenshot of the backup job configuration ?

    @trent234 Interesting, good to know. I do know that XCP-ng only officially supports 7 network interfaces, so not really surprised by that. It supports more VHDs though so feel like I shouldn't be seeing this error.

    @tuxen No GPUs were removed. only 2 were added. The only PCIE item removed was a NIC but I didn't remove it from dom0 or assign it to any VMs, it was just in the system.

    I believe this is a known issue (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5973) that is unlikely to be fixed in XO5. We'll need to wait for @pdonias to be back from holidays to have more info on this. just-333 created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed Error on vm.set from Jobs tab in XO web GUI #5973

    You can't delete a base copy. You need to understand how it works before doing dangerous operations. A base copy exists if there's a snapshot. If you have 0 snap and still base copy, it could be either: because the coalesce isn't finished because the coalesce doesn't work In both case, you have to take a look at your SMlog. If you have no idea about it, you should either get pro support or start to read the doc in more details You can start here: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/storage.html#coalesce

    @julien-f The new update seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for the quick update fix. The backup cache fixes/cleanup made a huge difference (improvement). I was trying to figure out what was going on with my backups as they were running but were missing from the restore list. After the cache cleanup, it showed 3-4 times the number of restore points! All the missing stuff and more. It took some time to clean up all the extra stuff, but backups seem to be back on track again.

    @anturk What errors do you see in /var/log./SMlog related to this? Have you run ifconfig or netstat to look for network transmission errors? Is this a new setup and if so, are you sure the cables are of good quality? Is this a dedicated NIC or is it part of a VLAN?

    @olivierlambert I blew away the docker container and did a fresh build of XO from source on a *buntu box. Issue resolved itself with that. Must be a bad build in the docker.

    You can't login to our servers with your source version (from Git), you must download the virtual appliance. If you can't access https://xen-orchestra.com internally, then, indeed, you won't be able to register it in the end. But if you managed to clone it from Github, you have some access to outside

    @KPS You can use xo-cli --list-objects type=VM. Also you should only get the backup logs once and join with the VM list, because backupNg.getLogs is heavy.
