    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.

    @flakpyro you probaby had multiple job/schedule on the same schedule I reworked the code and pushed an update and added a doc with the edge cases : https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9635/changes#diff-ef545af2ad06f2759c1a3787f266108b3b2cbc203bc8071bbd847278f3e6a5f0 (will be on doc xo when merged ) fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra open feat(backups): improve incremental replication #9635

    @kagbasi-wgsdac Hi, thanks for the feedback. That's normal. It was a bug, and the fix was merged into the master branch two weeks ago. It's therefore available for XOCE, but for XOA, it will be available from version 6.3 (release in a few days). Having PATCH enpdoint for all objects (VMs/VDIs/Networks/...) is already in our backlogs but need to be planned. (cc @gregoire XO-2232). Please also note that you can update a inherited VDI directly during VM creation if you know the VDI's user device. (For example: {userdevice: "0", name_label: "foo-bar"}) [image: 1774605903853-capture-d-%C3%A9cran-de-2026-03-27-11-00-33.png] This fix is already planned to be part of the 6.4 release (cc @gregoire XO-1909)

    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

    @thorcraftit seems like perhaps a permissions error, what does your share properties on truenas look like for this host? Is the allowed IP or denied IP boxes populated at all? Attach a screenshot if you can. Here's what mine looks like: [image: 1625573743330-f76ebeef-c5cf-452e-8a43-28144d9a8c94-image.png] Note that the mapall user and group must have permissions on the shared folder, I typically create a user on the freenas system just for xen shares, and give it ownership of the folder/dataset that's being shared. this ensures you don't have any weird permissions issues. I think in your case the key boxes to examine are the authorized networks however. What does your Services > NFS > Settings look like? here's mine: [image: 1625573851182-3ccf191c-575c-4094-b91f-b4e12e6a4091-image.png] Lastly and perhaps most importantly, can you run "yum install nmap" and then "nmap 172.16.60.200" on both a working host, and then this non-working host? Paste the results of both here - if they differ, for instance if the non-working server doesn't see any RPC services running like I suspect, that will heavily point towards a firewall/network/ACL issue

    @cfm56 The error was probably due to https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5836 This did not impact the import of the config though, anyway it should be fixed now trader418 created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed Config restore error #5836

    But what about merging delta backup? This require write access. Except if we completely "move" the merge logic in the storage itself (which will be possible in few months)

    That's because of XCP-ng/XenServer design. The host isn't pushing data, it's only exposing an HTTP handler to pull from it. You can use XO Proxies if you prefer: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/proxy.html

    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
