    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!

    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

    Weird Issue with NFS and Synology Hyper Backup

    It's important to understand the components you are using, especially on a software that you use without support/training In short: SR: a Storage Repository is access by your host/dom0/XCP-ng, and will be used to store ISOs and/or VM disks. It's running on a relatively old CentOS release (7.x), and will mount with some specific settings BR/remote: a Backup Repository where Xen Orchestra will send the backup of your VMs. Usually, Xen Orchestra runs (in XOA) inside a Debian 11 VM, with default NFS mount options (default: ie from the operating system point of view). It's hard to tell exactly the issue since you are likely using XO from the sources, so a XO that you choose to install on a system where we (aka "XO devs") have precisely 0 control on. Plus the NFS configuration part is also out our scope because it's not running inside our infrastructure too. That's a lot of moving pieces, that's why it's important to understand what you do so we can assist here the most efficient way we can

    There’s usually little to no reasons to expose any mgmt systems to internet in actual production environments. Especially if it’s strictly for internal mgmt purposes. XO is no exception. Not because the system would be unsecure, but you simply want to make any attack surface as small as possible. It’s just a best a practice.

    @ronivay Ok. In between jobs I did a new VM install of debian 11 and on it the XO community version. Version numbers now: xo-server 5.100.1 xo-web 5.101.1 I seem to have everything working again. Thanks for the help and tip. Now it seems really solved. If I come across anything else, which I don't think I will, I will report back. Greetings and thanks, Jan

    @Forza Hey - thanks for the input. It would be valid if I would reboot xcp host though. All this is happening on live xcp server which is problematic. It's no the end of the world but there has to be a way to debug it. Any tips on that?

    You will need to download the desired ISO and use it to install the base OS. Then follow the official docs or use one of the available installation scripts. AFAIK, you should be fine with Fedora.

    What operating system do you have? Does it run on the same type of real server? If not. If VM it is Windows, you must reset (sysprep) or insert the hdd drivers. Acronis is a solution for that, or Dism++ and ImDisk to insert dirvers on vhd. If VM it's Linux, you don't have the correct disk name or partition ID, the boot partition must be redone. Reinstall kernel, in chroot with live CD, to solve the problem. For an easier process, I recommend Hyper-V -> VirtualBox -> XCP-ng. With VirtualBox you will have fewer problems when restoring the boot. And VirtualBox is much more compatible with XCP-ng.

    @olivierlambert Yes, it seems so. The switches are of different brands between RACs and since a year ago the datacenter was divided in 2 companies and we are not sure how they have organized the networks. Then I had another error but with "rescan all disks" on the host it was solved.

    You should be able to go to the network tab for the VM, click the network it's currently connected to, and then change it to the new one. If you have the management tools installed this can be done live, otherwise you'd need to shut the VM down.
