    @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.

    New and exciting backup errors

    @andrewreid Not that this helps with your error, but my nightly S3 delta backups to Wasabi have been working just fine. I'm using XO source and keep mostly up to date with master. S3 and NFS are different backup formats so NFS working does not mean S3 will work. Sometimes Wasabi causes failures but not recently and not that last more than a few VMs in one night. The next backup run (manual restart or next nightly) seems to work correctly. I force a full backup every 3 months just to make sure I have a good checkpoint in case undetected corruption creeps into the delta data. Plus I have replication and other backups. I did have a problem once (not exactly yours) with a VM and just deleted the S3 backup data which forced a full backup again. Sucks because you don't have the weeks of deltas anymore. Error #3 (date-time) is strange. May be a backblaze issue. You could create a new S3 remote to backblaze (new bucket or directory) and test one failing VM backup to the new remote and see if it works (and works again for delta). You could set the retention low to test merge too. I have a setup like this with a local MinIO server for S3 testing and local backups.

    @olivierlambert I want to move them on NFS in order to be able to backup later from NFS to S3 in more granular way Generally, we are talking about XO - NFS. S3 would be out of XO.

    Just if somebody else is searching for the same thing, although it is not directly related to XOA: If you want to get these alerts by mail and you are not using XCP-ng-Center, you can activate them with: xe pool-param-set uuid=pool-uuid other-config:mail-destination=mail@example.com xe pool-param-set uuid=pool-uuid other-config:ssmtp-mailhub=mailserverip:port KPS

    @geoffbland No problem. It's the first time I see this error with tapdisk (and it's it's even more surprising to have it on this type of SR...). It had all been working fine and I had not changed anything on the share - it just stopped working In this case, maybe there was a problem with the XAPI, a lock on the device or something else. Not easy to find the cause without remote access. Don't hesitate to ping us if this problem comes back.

    Migrating large disk - any risks?

    It's more a less that. In short, the new disk is created on both sides, and blocks mirrored on both sides. First, the read only "parent" VDI with frozen blocks is copied, when it's done, the VM is briefly paused, the memory migrated to the destination and then unpaused on destination. Consequently, only the blocks written during 11 hours will use space for new blocks on the source SR (and destination, since it's mirrored).

    @sbz71 The stable channel should not have the issue, not sure when we'll release a fix for latest. If you have an XO subscription, you can open a support ticket and a support tunnel and we'll be able to patch your install My bad, I misunderstood the question

    @creoleMalady This does not help you, but my setup works with MinIO S3 (current version minio_20220607003341.0.0_amd64.deb) and current XO commit a5e9f. I'm running XO commit 379e4 (June 2nd) and it has been working correctly with Wasabi. I updated XO to commit a5e9f (current master) on a second server and backup still works for me to MinIO.... Delta Backup as a full and as a delta with and without merge.

    Try to disable/enable autostart in Advanced section of your VM. That might do the trick.

    Hello @geoffbland Thanks for the feedback To be fair, we added that precisely because our community/users asked for it! I wouldn't have thought of this by myself. That's the power of community, and for that, I thank you all!

    @Andrew thank you , it's NFS mount yes. i perform forget and remount and now is ok, most probably i chose older storage from another host, the menu to select storage for VM showing everything associated with the pool and sometimes this is confusing. Thanks for your comment.

    That's because doing a snapshot will have consequences on the SR. That's why we restricted the permissions for doing snapshot.
