    I have two PE R630 and one PE R730xd. The two R630s show the IPMI data in XO but the R730xd does not. If I run ipmitool sensor from an ssh session, I get very similar data back on the 730 and 630. This isn't critical to me, just letting you know that there are cases that functioning ipmitool on a Dell does not seem to be enough to show it. There are some differences in the labels. The R730 has "Fan1 RPM", "Fan2 RPM" while the R630 has "Fan1A", "Fan2A", "Fan1B". Most of the other interesting fields seem to have the same names but the order is a bit different and I didn't do an exhaustive comparison. It's very cool that you are surfacing this data now.

    We are running Xen Orchestra with commit c3dcb and the auth-oidc (v0.4.2) plugin. The users that login are unique and not yet present as local users. The OICD provider is SURF with SRAM: https://www.surf.nl/en/services/identity-access-management/surf-research-access-management They support the following attributes/scopes: https://servicedesk.surf.nl/wiki/spaces/IAM/pages/74226142/Attributes+in+SRAM There are some IPs that need to be accessable: https://servicedesk.surf.nl/wiki/spaces/IAM/pages/74226067/IP+addresses#IPaddresses-OIDC . Outgoing traffic from the server to port 443 is open and works. We did try several settings for the Username field and scopes. For example the following: [image: 1774600482742-plugin-resized.png] This should create a user R123456789 The logging shows the following: mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: Expected values to be strictly equal: mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: + actual - expected mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: + 'undefined' mrt 27 09:29:48 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: - 'string' If we change it to: [image: 1774600514661-plugin-2-resized.png] The following shows up: mrt 27 09:32:21 vm-xoa xo-server[2641104]: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0') I hope this helps to understand the problem. Thanks.

    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    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 )

    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.
