    @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.

    @olivierlambert I am imagining something like esxi / vsphere where I think it's their guest tool does a resize on window size change. I think I've done it with tightvnc where it can autoscale AND it can auto resize as well. Based on looking protocols like nx, spice, and tigervnc support it as well. Understood for the copy paste, is it possible to have another button in current UI next to the copy that is paste (understanding the current UI IS changing). All this button would do is send the keystrokes to the VM either from the text in the console copy field or from the clipboard (I've fine with ctrl+v, the clipboard to the multiline window).

    @BradyS Probably this is due to incompatible BIOS settings, such as C states, turbo mode, etc. Run "xe host-cpu-info" on each host to compare the two host settings. Also, make sure the firmware and update levels are all the same as those can also affect the CPU masks.

    Netbox Plugin: IP-address created always uses the "largest prefix" in Netbox

    @pdonias Yes, I was running a newer version than that but just to make sure I upgraded to 8068b83ffe58e6caed0cac5816ac2690479a9c41. Still the same problem, unfortunately. I'm not too sure if it matters, but there are VMs running in the pool that does not have an IP in a "smaller" /24 prefix. So if the prefixes 192.168.0.0/16 and 192.168.100.0/24 are in Netbox, there might be VMs using IPs other than the ones in the 192.168.100.0/24 prefix.

    Sadly, it's hard to know what happened without getting the errors you had (eg when you tell: "VM will not start" is very vague).

    @jivanpal Right; I simply meant you could start using these to track from this point onward. Also other options, like Cacti, MRTG, etc.

    @olivierlambert said in Managing different locations from one XO?: The code is open source but you need to install it and configure it yourself (if you are using XO from Github) OK, that makes sense.

    @Andrew it seems that the merge fails but the watcher still report progress ( which doesn't move) Can you see if there is an error before ?

    You can't add a host into another pool until it's "blank". It's hard to "merge" two pools together. So first, migrate VMs to the destination, clean the host and THEN add it to the pool.

    No need to update XCP-ng, we don't want to introduce a dedicated agent. It will rely on another mechanism. We'll publish about it before the end of this summer
