    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!

    Having the flag "Protect from accidental deletion" has since yesterday left me with plenty of restored VMs. In the backup logs, it indicates that this happens during the healthcheck. This has happened on 3 out of 6 VMs Update: The other 3 VMs were opt-out from Healthchecks. So that is why this didn't affect them.

    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

    Xen Orchestra from Sources unreachable after applying XCPng Patch updates

    @CodeMercenary Glad it worked! I just noticed that in the couple weeks since this happened, a new set of Pool Patches was available, so I ran through the usual process to update those and had no issues at all. This time, everything went smoothly, just as it has for the entire time I've had this lab up and running. So, chalk this up to one of those weird glitches you're bound to see when you use any technology long enough. As far as I'm concerned, the issue has been resolved. Please feel free to close out the issue.

    @HH said in XO Commuity Edition Xen Orchestra, commit fee7b geht nicht auf Master, commit e5702: I didn't mean that I want to go to 6.0 now, but when 6.0 becomes "Stable LTS", get that automatically with your script ? Assuming there aren't any major changes to the upgrading processing using the existing script should work, but that has to be determined once a general release is created.

    Hello everyone. I tripped over this issue. If someone got another approach I would be interested. Thanks to @lsouai-vates I had a look at: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/ab56924b1d046ccf6c09dfe7a4ab47deb5d77f4a/packages/xo-acl-resolver/index.js and https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/ab56924b1d046ccf6c09dfe7a4ab47deb5d77f4a/packages/xo-server/src/xo-mixins/acls.mjs#L150-L168 To what I understand it is not possible as a Non-Admin user to get information like pools, ... By creating a new admin user limiting the resources via ACLS with viewer right worked around this. However, granting admin rights still looks sort of strange. Just in case someone struggled as well this information might help.

    Installation: expecting an rsa key, any plans to support elliptic curve keys?

    @jivanpal We do not currently have any plans to support elliptic curve keys - this is a very sensitive topic given different governmental security requirements around the world. Note that Let's Encrypt recommends a dual setup for this exact reason: "Our recommendation is to serve a dual-cert config, offering an RSA certificate by default, and a (much smaller) ECDSA certificate to those clients that indicate support." (https://letsencrypt.org/docs/integration-guide/)

    XOA vs XO vs Backup feature

    @kagbasi-ngc Hi, thanks for your thoughts. I get on well with Linux myself - I’m using XO from source following the documentation, and actually, Ronivay’s script, as you mentioned, makes it all even handier. Still, I can’t help but think - your average home user, a total amateur, is just going to land on the XCP-ng host homepage and click "Deploy XOA". And then they’ve no backup, outside of the trial period. But sure, if XOA is aimed squarely at business and enterprise users with paid licences, fair enough that makes perfect sense. I just feel like backup isn’t really a purely business or enterprise feature, unlike, say, proxy instances or hyper-converged storage. It's something even home users would genuinely benefit from. But as it is mentioned above, that’s just how it’s set up - and like you said yourself, everyone’s got the chance to learn something new. And sure, in the age of AI chatbots, there’s really no excuse not to manage it

    @DustinB Been using it since 2012, non-profits fell under the academic tier and it was originally by number of cpu which was 2 cpu per host, under 192G ram but again didnt include vmotion etc, just plain ole esxi why I used Veeam since it brought replication into the mix again still using them at a very low cost. They had essentials and essentials plus and the academic pricing was very low, my understanding is they would rather you use VMware vs something else. Again I have receipts going back to 2012, pretty much same price for all these years until Broadcom entered the picture. There was nothing sus about it, you had to verify your non-profit category and fit within the limts, it was pretty standard pricing for a low number of cores, I could go to CDW or any reseller and get the same pricing. Why you have so many small companies jumping ship many were using vmware essentials which was WAY cheaper then what they are doing now which the only option is Standard and it now requires min of 16 cores per host @$50/core. That is the new and wonderful world of Broadcom... Anyway, this was pretty common stuff under VMware, why so many folks were using it, even the small shops.

    @RS One option would be this, assuming in this se you want to run the job at midnight on Dec. 25: /bin/echo "/path/to/your/script.sh" | at midnight Dec 25 While cron doesn't offer a specific one-time execution, you could also do this in cron but would have to remove the entry afterwards: 0 0 25 12 * /path/to/your/script.sh Also, take a look at this option: https://www.fastcron.com/guides/one-time-cronjobs/

    @DKirk That all makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Looks like there are further comments below that seem to pinpoint where the issue may lay. The key point you make is only "after the last updates" is when this started happening!
