    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!

    Also.. Thank you for taking a look at it and solving it so quickly, @florent It is a quite nice interaction when reporting bugs that they are looked at and triaged. Not saying everything needs to be a priority 1. But I do appreciate being close to the process. And if I can help make things better by reporting bugs, in a hopefully constructive way. Then I'll continue to contribute my way.

    Offering feedback that my implementation of the XO CCM (v1.0.0-rc.1) into my K8s cluster was successful; I validated that the nodes were labeled as expected. I attached screenshots from Rancher and the CLI. In my lab, I use OCNE 1.9 (Oracle Cloud Native Environment) on Oracle Linux 9.7. In my setup, I edited the kubeadm-config ConfigMap and on all nodes added the Kubelet argument for the cloud provider. I restarted the Kubelet on all nodes and then deployed the CCM via Method 1 per the documentation From my setup to set the cloud-provider: kubectl edit cm kubeadm-config -n kube-system apiServer: extraArgs: cloud-provider: external controllerManager: extraArgs: cloud-provider: external sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/kubelet KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS="--fail-swap-on=false --cloud-provider=external" sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart kubelet [image: 1770418969929-rancher_xo_ccm_labels-resized.png] [image: 1770419178223-ocne_xo-ccm_pod.png]

    Okay, cool down and let me explain a bit That's because those templates are not part of Xen Orchestra software itself, because those VM templates are things we build and assemble on our part, then upload to our own servers, hosted for people registered with the virtual appliance (XOA). So using XO from the sources is not losing any XO features because XOA hub templates aren't part of it This is extra stuff outside XO scope, that we give for free for our XOA users (yes, XOA Free users). So we do not get any money for this. It's just operating systems pre-configured with Cloudinit installed (or sometimes not). Again, it's not part of XO itself, and nothing prevent you to build your own templates, ready with Cloudinit. I hope it's more clear now.

    @olivierlambert said in Warnings & errors in journalctl: Do you have multiple XOs accessing the same remote? There's only one backup job running from my XO VM. There is an active instance of XOA, but it is just used for testing and is sitting idle.

    You need to restart the service as root/sudoer, eg sudo systemctl restart xoa-updater. Note that you can have XOA support with our ticket system, even on XOA Free If you want someone at Vates dedicated to your issue, please create a ticket!

    Since the update I have run full backup that have taken over an hour to complete due to their size and many smaller delta backups and the error has not come up again. I assume whatever was causing the error was fixed in the xo-server 5.84.2 update.

    @dariosplit said in Copy an existing backup: For example in pfsense I copy the firewall rules and change the name of it, and of the port while everything stays the same. I have a lot of VM and for each VM i have several rules for backup, (time and place). I would remove copy it just a unnecessary repeat I have been using tags together with smart backup. This works really well.

    "Recovery" is only an option for PV guest (not HVM), when you want to re-use the initial bootloader. It has nothing to do to recover anything else. You should be in HVM for all your VMs by the way, it's more secure and even faster.

    @heman said in XO from sources compile warnings: Deprecation Warning: Using / for division is deprecated and will be removed in Dart Sass 2.0.0. FWIW, I see the same warnings. I imagine this is a "known issue" as far as the developers are concerned.

    I think yes (I don't see why, if it's recent enough), but you won't have support in any case (as you'll use the version from the sources anyway).

    @tristis-oris i don’t have a definitive answer what would be the perfect memory configuration for your needs. I commented based on your earlier findings that VM memory usage was high which doesn’t take into account what OS inside VM is doing with the memory. As you observed, most of the memory is used by cache so it basically has nothing to do with XO, just how Linux manages the usable memory.
