    @AlbertK said in XCP-ng - XOA vs. XOCE: @Danp , Is it possible to add the comparison of the XOCE together wit XO in this page?. https://vates.tech/pricing-and-support/#features-matrix XOCE is a term that I came up with when I originally started writing the deployment script that exists today. It's stuck around. Vates uses the terms XOA and "XO from Sources" as their unique products. XOCE would be "you used a github script to deploy" (my github) XO. XO from Sources is a completely manual process where you're following the documentation to deploy XO. This approach gets you the same thing that XOCE does, but takes longer to complete since you're finishing each step over SSH rather than running a single bash command on a Ubuntu/Debian VM.

    @bryonadams said in Trouble Creating VM via API: Is there a place I can submit a feature request to allow setting a description and other settings from the UI to get feature parity when creating a VM? Otherwise, there's not much point since I have to go in and touch the new VM anyway. Unless I'm going about this wrong to begin with? You can create a feature request on Xen Orchestra github repository (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues), and if you have subscribed to support via XOA you can send a request through Zammad.

    @Cyrille Aah, I didn't know about the branches. I had started my own attempt to implement the feature, good to know I can abandon that work. Oh boy discovering the settings map uses an empty key was a moment. OK, I will wait. Thanks to your team for the work on the terraform provider

    For information : The downgrade change nothing. The only solution was to reinstall xcp with the upgrade option (even if it was up to date before the bios update) If we go back to the original problem, the latest version of the Bios changes nothing (there is no information about the BIOS on the Host page)

    @Danp it turns out I had a typo that took me forever to find . . . 102 vs 192 in the gateway ip. The strange thing to me was that the internal networking was working (pings, connections, etc). But there's something in the xoa web site that could not make the connection to the server it was running on, which makes me think there is some kind of external communication going on for server connections. If xoa can ping the dom0 then why would it need the gateway to connect to it for the web interface? Anyway I fixed the typo after finding the error running ip monitor, and then everything works great. This was the 3rd or 4th install of xoa so I was getting a bit hurried . . . next morning it took 2 minutes to find the error. Now its registered and working.

    @Danp I got around this by using Clonezilla to copy the disks of the 2 VMs I was having an issue with. This is very strange. The VMs booted and ran fine on the old host, I was able to clone them with Clonezilla to the new host where they also boot and run fine. There is something preventing the native tools from migrating these specific disks though.

    @DustinB As to why you're seeing "VM not found!" I don't know if that is a XO alert or something you added into the screenshot, I've never seen that so I can't speak to it. I didn't add the text, all I did was highlight it with the red surround. Just testing the backups again using the 'Delta' method and '[NOSNAP][NOBAK] Data drive' as the name of the second drive , feeling more hopeful about this one though. I'm starting to like XO the more I use it, would be good to move to this instead of switching between 2 different XCP-ng Center EXEs. depending on the XCP-ng version on the host so I really hope I can get this to work. The scheduled hourly snapshot while the guest is running looks a great feature, although I need to learn to walk with this first before I go that far

    @HamiltonWDS Thanks for the report. As it works with wget let use it! I'll switch from curl to wget in doc. In the meantime some colleagues will investigate more.

    Thank you very much for the clear explanation @HamiltonWDS ! This will be really helpful so we find a solution for that. We might default to IPv4 for a lot higher latency, and in the future maybe having closer location mirrors. Let me discuss this internally and schedule an action for that.

    The simple answer here is to use the Continuous Replication backup type. It'll copy the VM to another host on whatever schedule you set. It couldn't be simpler.
