    @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.

    I get this error with each metadata backup run, but every time it fail on different pool. Only 1 failed pool at once. [image: 1782727042952-aa7af767-9150-4e99-a483-5d02524678bb-image.jpeg]

    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

    @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.

    @olivierlambert said in Alerts in XO/XOA?: it's in your dashboard view. Do you mean the Alarms section? It is not showing anything for me. There is no log showing past events.

    Weird… Can you remove the snapshot of the failing VM and try again to see if you still have the error? To me it's like the delta capability on XCP-ng side is failing on a specific disk

    @gskger said in create XO account from ssh: I completely missed that in the troubleshooting documentation but it is already there - nice @olivierlambert said in create XO account from ssh: As @gskger siad, this was already documented and visible by searching the term "recover" in the search bar Uh - I tried a lot of other search terms, just not recover. Anyway - I'm back on track, thank you very much for all your help.
