    @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.

    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.

    @markhewitt1978 We want to involve the users community very early in the design of XO6 and have begun designing an initial questionnaire to submit to you to identify your expectations and current issues - We will later set up a tester program to continue to exchange throughout the process with users who are interested. It's a bit early to share more details, but stay tuned on the December release for XO, we have things in the pipe.

    I've added the support of advanced filtering in the API, it does no have first class support in xo-cli yet but it's usable anyway: xo-cli xo.getAllObjects limit=json:10 filter='type:/^VM$/ snapshots:length:>2'

    Force full backup vs Full backup interval

    @julien-f said in Force full backup vs Full backup interval: @s-pam Essentially the same feature, they force the export of a full backup. Full backup interval forces a full after a number of delta exports. Force full backup forces a full when this specific schedule is ran, which allows for instance to do delta during the week and a full on Sunday. Ah, of course. So I can add a second schedule to the backup job, and in that I choose force full. nice. I did try to search in the https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backups.html docs for it before asking.
