    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

    I thought I did that. Oh I see whats happening. My cold moves are freaking out. The first time, I restarted the toolstack for the server I was working on the # of tasks dropped by 50% or so. as soon as I tried my cold move of a VM again, im up to 50-60 tasks again. Going from Xen 7.1 to XCP 7.6. and a Xeon 2630 V3 to a 2620 V0. Which I know is a bad idea, hence the cold move.

    You have a transparent proxy, it does not hide its identity, so web resources see that the request is not coming directly from the user but from the proxy. In addition, the real IP address is also visible, so there is no anonymity. Usually, educational institutions use this type of server to filter incoming and outgoing content and cache information. It's better to use thailand proxy, which will encrypt you from the inside.

    Not sure yet if it has to do with me deleting one template to try... However, the duplicated templates have disappear after the update of XOA to 5.74.3! Maybe a restart of the service would have achieved the same!? At the end, it seems to come from XOA rather than the pool. I suggest to remove and add the master from the server settings to see if this does not clean up something in the cache/DB on XOA...

    @florent Yes, thanks! We have very limited control over rsync at our end (as it's running within a Synoloy NAS) - I think we probably have to just live with large transfers for now - whilst looking at spit files / VHD's as the way to go in the future. Thanks again!

    @olivierlambert Refreshing the status log and updating a second time retrieves/installs more updates. After that: The '+ New' menu button appears in the menu on the left side of the window! Thank you! Eric P. Reno, Nevada

    @tony ssh is not always an option especially for premade ISOs from vendors. DellOpenManage VM for instance was vmware only and ssh was not enabled.

    @AtaxyaNetwork Thanks for your guidance. I can create a lightweight Debian VM with an NFS share for the ISOs. But even so it is strange that the drive is not known by the XO. Maybe other people can comment on this later.

    @furyflash777 I'm assuming you're on Ubuntu? Indeed as Olivier said this is tested on Debian and doesn't cause issues, but it seems on the newer Ubuntu versions with cloud-init, the new Netplan based network manager and how it interacts with cloud-init breaks/gets wiped if no cloud-init drive is found. Yet another cloud-init bug to track down

    Hi, "It depends" is the answer here Depends on: the number of concurrent users on your XO instance the size/frequency/number of backup jobs you have the number of hosts and VMs managed by XO Frankly, for a small setup (less than 4/5 hosts) with one users and few backup jobs, the default 2vCPU/2GiB RAM is enough. Especially since we improved various process to happen in a dedicated worker

    @lawrencesystems We added the healthcheck for full backup (here : https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6401 ) Also we removed our js smb implementation ( https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/b50e95802c6a876d4e6ffd0c62c209a187b1bfb2 ) to try to circumvent the strange samba comportment fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed fix(backups): add healthcheck to full backup #6401 0 julien-f committed to vatesfr/xen-orchestra feat(fs): remove JS based SMB handler It's not well tested nor maintained.

    There's no black magic As @ronivay said, you need to tell the filesystem inside your VM that the disk grew. On Cloudinit-enabled VM, there's an auto-grow parameter that is checking at each boot if the disk was extended, and will automatically do it for you. But again, that's inside the VM. Keep in mind: it's not the job of the virtualization system to deal with what's inside the VM

    That would be nice if you open a support ticket with a support tunnel so we can take a look remotely
