    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

    Cloud configs allow {{name}}% substitutions. From my perspective (as a user), for how {{name}} is used in my cloud configs something like {{address}} would be identical. What is the intended use case for the IPAM functionality in XOA if it can't be used like this? Real question, not trolling

    Also note the text at the top of your screenshot: to continue you need to select a boot device. There might be a way in that menu (or partition creation submenu) to mark that created partition as bootable, or maybe you just need to highlight/select the partition under "used devices" before hitting "done"

    I would like some examples too. My latest (first) try gives me: alfcruz-adm@local.hcpa.ufrgs.br@volt-ampere:~/packer-plugin-xenserver$ packer build ./ubuntu-2004.pkr.hcl xenserver-iso.ubuntu-2004: output will be in this color.

    @encryptblockr hope to try the same with their even smaller "CORE" images. There is not an .OVA download but .xz downloads that when expanded have .img . https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64.img.xz and https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64+intel-iot.img.xz cloud-init seems to require experimentation and these small images boot quickly for me. Are you then following Fohdeesha's instructions?

    File Restore Fails

    @NeilGrevitt Whilst migrating my other backups to NFS, I noticed that one of the VM backups is able to perform file restores successfully. The successful VM is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, but has been upgraded multiple times and was originally a flavour of 18.x LTS somewhere along it's life. The unsuccessful VM is Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS that I believe was installed at this version. The only difference I can see is the output of lvscan, which does point to an issue with LVM! Successful VM: :~$ sudo lvscan :~$ Unsuccesful VM: :~$ sudo lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv' [<19.00 GiB] inherit Not sure where to go now but thought it worth reporting!

    @mauzilla Just an FYI, I have not tested the latest Scale 22.12 RC1 for performance but the previous versions of scale under some conditions was quite a bit slower. I have a video covering this topic here with the benchmarks and methodology used for testing. https://youtu.be/BoiHHnBDg0E

    Thanks all for your comments. I've managed to overcome the NFS errors listed, by using the new "multiple data blocks" setting! So for me, looks like backing up to .vhd won't work on either SMB or NFS.

    That's why we put that in bold in our documentation: Please always use latest Node LTS.
