    @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

    @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.

    @SpoonyLove @olivierlambert For usb passthrough we are using USB redirector over network For anything storage related we use something like this: mkdir /adm/passSR passUUID=`xe sr-create name-label="Direct access SR" name-description="Direct acces to hdd with simlink" type=udev content-type=disk device-config:location=/adm/passSR` ln -s /dev/sdb /adm/passSR/sdb xe sr-scan uuid=$passUUID xe vdi-list sr-uuid=$passUUID Remember to replace /dev/sdb with your device.

    Participating on the forum is a totally acceptable form of contribution. And to be clear: you have the choice. The choice to do nothing, or to help the project to grow. It's really up to you Freedom of choice is great! Everyone can contribute, spread the word and advocate for our solutions. And believe me, if everybody does, we stand a chance against those juggernauts (VMware for example). Also, you have my words, and I'm not afraid to tell that publicly: every $ we make is 100% re-invested into our projects. No big VC nor investors asking for insane ROI.
