    @paco On the stuck server, could you warm migrate the vms to one of the other hosts? Or could you shut down a VM at a time and cold migrate them? The second option is certainly not ideal, but maybe?

    Hi, Latest XOA, with fully patched XCP 8.3 here. I'm fiddling around again with NBD+CBT in backup jobs (was avoiding CBT for a time, to reliably control my backups and avoid unnecessary KEY points) in the context of THICK SRs to spare some space. I know that CBT is reset when migrating from one SR to another. But here is what I encounter : VM has no CBT enabled on its VDIs, it is on a SHARED SR in a pool of 3 hosts backup option changed for NBD+CBT, was only NBD before CBT is enabled on the next run by the backup job, I get a delta (was expecting a FULL ?) next run, delta, as expected i migrate this VM on another HOST, without changing its SR CBT is immediatly disabled ? why ?? next run of backup it tries a delta, but "fall back to a full" (normal as CBT has been disabled...), and do a KEY point on the remote next run is a delta as expected does this mean if I do a rolling pool update or host maintenance that will move the all VMs around, all CBT will be disabled and I should expect a FALL BACK TO FULL on all my NBD+CBT enabled backup jobs ??! why disabling CBT on a change of HOST and no move of SR ?

    That's correct. It's the new "reference" for the following delta, so we need to be able to read the full when we restore the backup (or a file) or when we coalesce (when reaching the retention). That's why compressing the full isn't trivial.

    Wouldn't that support something like doesn't match pattern? I got similar monitoring, although i have a custom script that does the check but essentially i just look for status being successand if not, then alert.

    Same here with a German keyboard where backshlashes require using the AltGR key. With most other (especially when cascaded) remove viewers, hitting Ctr, Alt and AlgGr keys alone helps to get shift states back in order, but not here. BTW I also noted that hitting the RDP button, didn't lauch RDP, just lost the mouse but not they keyboard, which is also rather strange.

    @olivierlambert and @lukas , indeed it is already in our backlog. We 'll do our best to deliver it in the first trimester. FYI: Github issues : #4016 #4605 and also in our private Wekan board #725 For each VDI, select target SR (or ignore) - Vates team use only

    It's an RDP URL available in your browser. You need to have configured your browser with a working app to link the rdp:// URL to your remote desktop application.

    @wlp94114 I had the same error. My ISO repository is on an SMB share, but the files were not readable by the ID I had mounted the share with in Xen. I corrected the permission on the file, and could get the VM to start.

    @thenorthernlight I doubt it's necessary. My XO is built entirely from source. It's probably just missing a dependency in the image I downloaded. (From here, in case anyone is curious: https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater) Thanks!

    @ronivay You make a good Point. What I didn't know, that I do now, I wasn't "naming" my schedules. Once you do that, it replaces the Cron time. So I called my things like "Daily @ 4:30 - Diff" but obviously naming schemes are broad.

    Plain shutdown should trigger the same consequence because there's a systemd unit that will do actions (like halting the VMs before the reboot)

    @wawa That doesn't sound right. Since you're running XOA, I would suggest contact their support to have them investigate.
