    The problem with those providers is, that the additional IP is usually L3 routed to the physical hosts IP. A better solution would be to get a /29 subnet or similar, where the gateway is handled by the provider and then configure that subnet on a specific VLAN which is available on all hosts where you want the VM's to be able to run. More work for the provider, since they have to setup the gateway IP within the /29 subnet on their router and then configure the VLAN on the switchports towards your hosts, but its the best way to make the VM's agile.

    @sid It seems I have to get my hands dirty and take a deeper look into Terraform / OpenTofu. I am not shure how well the other folks at work partially will have fun working with commandline versus the easy to use XO web GUI. Tailoring down the CloudInit files used is not really the basic idea behind this. I was rather going the oposite way and install / configure the stuff we usually bake into our templates on the fly while generating the VM via CloudInit. Thanks a lot for all the responses !

    Hi! That's is possible, you just need to shutdown all VMs using disks in there. Then, 4 steps: 0. Find the PBD currently connected to this SR via xe pbd-list Save the PBD information somewhere (xe pbd-param-list uuid=<PBD UUID> Unplug and remove the PBD (xe pbd-unplug and xe pbd-destroy Recreate the PBD by just changing the information using xe pbd-create In short, the PBD is like the "cable" between your host and your SR. Removing it won't remove any actual data, just the link between them. If you recreate it, and replug it, you'll find everything back

    It doesn't work like Citrix patches. Xen Orchestra will send a XAPI command to the host, that will in fact do a yum update command. The result is returned to XO and it will display available updates. We got a system using the best mirror for you: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/mirrors.html#original-mirror

    Hi, Please open a support ticket, that would be easier to assist (you can also open a support tunnel so we can remotely access your XOA to investigate faster, see https://help.vates.fr/kb/en-us/9-xen-orchestra-appliance-xoa/16-create-a-support-tunnel ) edit: don't forget to go in XOA/Support then doing an XOA check, see https://help.vates.fr/kb/en-us/9-xen-orchestra-appliance-xoa/17-xoa-check

    @station-already hehe glad you got it figured out Indeed, management interface changes are pretty "violent" in terms of how much they change and interrupt, so a reboot helps quite often - same for changing the virtual adapter/PIF assigned to a VM - alway a good idea to reboot the VM

    This means your NFS server doesn't support NFSv3.

    This is not exposed in XAPI, so it might require to write a XAPI plugin.

    @mrnaz look for the (first) error in your terminal where you execute the script to upgrade. Probably you need to upgrade the yarn or node version.

    @mauzilla I've done so that I have two separate backup jobs incremental every 4 hours, with exception on weekends. Retention usually 8 days weekly full backups, zstd compression, every Sunday night. This way we have a separate backup from the incremental chain. We also are able to do more maintenance jobs on the nfs server etc during the off hours on the weekend.

    @olivierlambert Thanks, We had been looking at Terraform so I guess we'll keep heading down that path for the time being.
