    @jkatz So everyone is cleared since I just experience the same issue not allowing me to create a new vm using the template. Before you use the Windows 11 Template and you have it with SYSPREP ready. You need to go down to advanced and make sure you delete the VTPM [image: 1769552292859-5d61aad5-013e-4cff-af7c-adbb4c4ca809-image.png] then create the Template. Once you create the vm again you will not receive the error and a vtpm will be created for the new VM with no issue. Hope this helps.

    @DaleDibbadel Are you running XOA or XO from the sources? Are you up-to-date?

    @florent With CR running and NBD enabled for 2, I see both exports and one import (per disk). It's never the import that's stuck and only one (not both) of the exports (if it happens). I have updated XCP 8.3 to the new January 2026 patch and XO to current master and will keep an eye on it again.

    @florent, I had to do the same for Xen Orchestra Community Edition. In my case, config.toml already contained the [authentication] section, so adding a separate config.tokenValidity.toml file did not work. Instead, I had to modify the existing config.toml located at /opt/xo/xo-server. In my opinion, it is best to keep defaultTokenValidity set to 30 days as a fallback in case no value is specified. You can then simply increase maxTokenValidity to the duration you prefer. [authentication] defaultTokenValidity = '30 days' # default value of 0.5 years # comment out and increase to 5 years #maxTokenValidity = ' 0.5 year' maxTokenValidity = '5 year'

    @mpiton thanks for sharing docs, the crucial part was openssl rand -hex 32 my password was too simple and that's why i got :"Query authentication does not match server setting" error after setting 32 characters password i got my metrics, in both http://localhost:9004/metrics and http://<xo-ip>/openmetrics/metrics

    It can't be done by XO, because XO is using XAPI to make all calls (there's no XAPI command to rename a file on the SR, also XO isn't connected via SSH, so there's 0 change it was caused by XO). So it was done manually at some point (check your host bash history).

    There's no issue nor restriction to replicate a shutdown VM. CR will work as long as the destination VM never booted (otherwise destination blocks will be modified, so you understand now why we should block boot except if you really know what you do )

    @ninghe Are A and B identical servers? No shared storage? Does it work if you use normal snapshot mode?

    Hi, It doesn't' work that way. XCP-ng is not capable of pushing any data by itself, it has to be pulled. That's exactly why we manage to build XO Proxies to solve this kind of common "enterprise" issue, when you have remote sites

    Backing up the backup

    Doing a bit more hunting it seems like if we could get Arcserve to use the nolock option then that would likely solve the problem, but there's nowhere to add any options and the Arcserve Proxy itself uses the Windows NFS client behind the scenes. Right now we've worked around the problem by creating a separate, read-only SMB share pointing to the same location and using that for Arcserve instead. Our only concern now is what could happen if XO starts a job while Arcserve is still doing its own backup. Edit: I did a bit more Googling after posting the above and came across this thread: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/nfs-the-process-cannot-access-the-file-because-another-process-has-locked.12644/ ... which suggests that it's actually a long-standing TrueNAS bug. Buried within the comments is this suggestion: If you're having trouble with the NFS locking mechanism, and you would like to use the "NET USE" command, or the [WNetAddConnection] function to mount a NFS share without locking, there's an undocumented registry entry hidden in the NFSNP.DLL: "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Client for NFS\CurrentVersion\Users\Default\Mount" REG_DWORD "Locking" If the value is "0x0" then locking will be disabled globally. If the value is "0x1" then locking will ben enabled globally. We'll test it and report back.

    @cbaguzman hi, you could try a hard mount instead of soft, then it should constantly retry until it sees the mount again https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.6?topic=considerations-nfs-hard-soft-mounts

    @olivierlambert said in XO console keyboard on iOS and iPadOS - no input possible: No but it doesn't mean this won't be solved with a virtual keyboard anyway It would need to be able to trigger the built in iPad / iPhone keyboard for it to be properly usable.

    Whenever a server or pool is needed, so the field doesn't stay empty and requires manual selection. For example, when creating a new VM, the screen is empty with one line: Create new VM on: [pull down] The same goes for some other items but I don't click nearly as much so in particular for creating new VM's it would save some time if a default could be configured. Thanks!

    @olivierlambert thanks. I do understand the console not intended to be Remote Desktop but more of the "I really need access" type of service. Tools like NX and any desk you give a very nice Remote Desktop experience but the virtual graphics card (framework?) Limits what those tools can provide for Remote Desktop. I'll take your advice and check into UDS enterprise.
