    @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. Release notes and migration guide: https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.4.0

    Well, it seems like it works if I create a snapshot and create a new VM from the snapshot on the new server. Should be workable for my need.

    @florent It looks like the restore test failed because the connection stream failed (and did not retry). It's hard to test this particular one because it is rather large. A good reminder to have more than one backup method (I do). I'll look for a XO update and see what changes. It is scheduled to do a full backup soon (as normal) to make sure issues like this are not a long term problem.

    @wahla Hello ! In XO you can search "power_state:halted", select all VMs, and start If you want to do it automatically, I think you can script it with xe, but the best way is to understand why VM are shutting down or doesn't restart

    If you want to login manually without any SSH key, you have to add a password for the account (passwd). Then you can log in with your Debian user with this password.

    Saving Backup Remote Data Causes XOA To Disconnect From XCP-ng Servers Temporarily

    @Danp I'll do some more digging on this once I have some time and see if I can find anything in the logs. I didn't have a chance to look yesterday when I was working on this. It might be worth noting that I was trying to setup an S3 remote, not sure if it would happen with another one and maybe it has something to do with timing out (was trying to hook into Backblaze which doesn't seem to be working right either, works fine on all my other machines running TrueNAS and stuff but can't get it connected with XCP-ng, other S3 places like Wasabi and Amazon work fine though). I'll update this thread with more info once I do some more testing, might have time this weekend but not sure yet, and this is in a production environment, so I do want to be careful about causing potential issues.

    Zstd for Delta Backup

    Zstd is for XVA file format compression. There's no compression on delta, because we need to merge them on destination, when retention is reached (inside the backup repository). So it doesn't really worth it (since you'll have to decompress them to do the merge).

    Problems with trying to recover data after full local storage

    Hello, mtill ! In this situation, you may try to recover the stored data on the RAM because, in your case, the data was overwritten in the RAM. The number of recovered files by this method depends on the RAM size, the size of files that was overwritten by this way and by the time running this process. I can suggest you use a specialized recovery service like raid recovery service to ensure that you will restore more data you can. I wish you a bit of good luck.

    @cyrus104 Hi, No, there is no way to enable HA at XO level and it is on purpose. Enabling HA as to be taken very seriously, it can cause pool wide crippling issues so we considerer doing it through CLI and be aware of what you really do being mandatory.

    That would be easier if you open a ticket so we can use our remote access tunnel to take a look
