    @poddingue I'm using XOA 6.2.2. Unfortunately not able to update at the moment. Which reminds me of another thing. Where is there release information for the XOA XVA itself? When I login to my account, there is only the download button but no information on what version it is. [image: image.jpeg] I would like to know when a new version is published and a changelog for it. When I import the current XVA it is tagged with 2025.12 [image: image.jpeg]

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    @bug-meister Ah. That's cloud-init's support for templating user-data. The issue is that with these templates you only have access to the info available inside the VM itself. No outside data can be used for templating unless it is somehow passed to the VM (inject a file, set xenstore values...)

    @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!

    @olivierlambert - I'd also like to say that I'm a very recent homelab convert over to XCP-NG. I've been using VMWare for like... 15 years. I have a project at work that I use native Xen for, and have been really impressed with the security and control that we get out of it. I've been in the process of shifting over to XCP-NG over this Christmas break, and I've been really, really happy. There was a bit of a learning curve, but I'm very happy that I'm going to be getting an increase in functionality over my free ESXi instance. Really great work you're all doing!

    Yes you can do that, there's a tag on a replicated VM to avoid being replicated again.

    The issue is within pools: XCP-ng isn't meant to have pool members down (for various reasons), so the scenario is only limited to pools with one host only

    It's more work, but... you have to stop the VM and export them, delete the current SR (Local Storage), recreate SR (Local Storage) as local ext4 format import the VM back In this way you switch from LVM to ext4 and the space it needs will be small, not double the space

    @olivierlambert Yes, i will update and have a look if it changes the behaviour anyhow. "For the rest, it's hard to answer without digging more." That`t exactly was i was looking for: Any Information where i can dig deeper? I`m looking for logs or traces of errors or so. It is not that i just wan`t this particular problem to be solved In my limited understanding of interal processes i think somehow a backup process dies and xo-server does not report or recognize this. But shouldn`t it somehow?

    @olivierlambert Oh nice, hope it's not too cold over there. It's 9AM over here in Maryland and a bit nippy but not too cold. Nope, no host or pool logs available (both are empty). Then again, I cleared all the alerts from the dashboard earlier this morning, so not sure if that's what wiped all the logs. I'm not too worried, as this is a testing environment so I'm using this host to do a lot of learning.

    @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

    @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.
