    @coolsport00 Hello, I don't know the VMware feature you're talking about. I would use Packer https://github.com/vatesfr/packer-plugin-xenserver and Cloud Base init https://cloudbase-init.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html to build a Windows VM template. The sysprep would be run at the end of the packer for example using the provisioner powershell or in the shutdown_command NB: do not forget to deploy guest tools inside the template. @dinhngtu might have also suggestions

    @ferrao Yes it is. At the end the task disappears unless there is an error / failure.

    Thanks for your feedback, we'll discuss internally if there's any other possible approach (and I'm not sure).

    Hello, I suggest you look also for Packer to build ready to use VM templates, with cloud-init, guest tools, and the softwares you'd need. There's a blog post for this https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2024/02/22/using-packer-with-xcp-ng/.

    XO created snapshots are too visible

    @olivierlambert So much for my memory..... XCP-ng center always exports a snapshot as a template. The menu item is called that and the xva files made always re-import as templates. The equivalent xe function is xe snapshot-export-to-template which does the same thing. The only way to export the snapshot as a VM is to set the is-a-template parameter to false then export with xe vm-export. Once that's been done it looks impossible to set is-a-template back to true. Using either xe vm-param-set or xe snapshot-param-set and trying to set is-a-template back to true gives an error "VM_IS_SNAPSHOT" I remember one of the backup scripts, NAUBackup/VMBackup if you're familiar with it, doing this and was never quite sure why until now. Looking through its code, it's creating a snapshot, setting is-a-template to false, exporting it as a VM, then deleting the snapshot in order to make an xva file backup while keeping the VM live. I'm not familiar with backups made by XO but I'm guessing you must be doing them in a similar fashion. Edit: I just did some more testing and discovered that as soon as I set the is-a-template parameter to false on a snapshot made by XCP-ng Center or xe vm-snapshot, it starts showing up in the xsconsole "All VMs" list and in xe vm-list commands just as snapshots created by XO do. In addition, they're showing up both on xe vm-list and xe snapshot-list. Fresh snapshots made with is-a-template still set to true show up in xe snapshot-list but do not show up in xe vm-list or xe template-list. They do show up in the list of templates available in XCP-ng Center when creating a new VM but those with is-a-template set to false do not. This is starting to smell to me more like a bug in xe or XAPI and possibly XCP-ng center as well but definitely in xe or XAPI. Is there any way to look into what's going on there?

    Continous Replication - smart selection by source SR?

    @olivierlambert You are absolutely right: tags are enough. My fault. We will code some cronjobs that find the current SR, set the right tag and that's it. If the cronjob runs before the CR job is running, we should be fine. If you will implement the other idea: I guess (as you can specify only one backup target atm) an option to choose: 'store all vdis in target SR' or 'store only vdis from source SR in target SR' would be great, but if less work should be done: just store all vdis in the target SR - no matter where the source vdis are laying around Anyway: great work! Keep on!

    Hi, We do not distribute XO via docker, so it's a 3rd party script/solution. Please report on the repo providing XO first, as explained in our doc: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/community.html

    @bret_miller said in Upgrade failed: Command failed: npm uninstall -g --silent xen-orchestra: npm version: 6.14.5 does not satisfies ^4.6 For the sake of someone after me with this problem, based on it apparently looking for npm version 4.6.x, I did this: sudo npm install -g npm@4.6.1 Then re-ran the xo check which came out clean except for being on and old version. Then re-ran the upgrade which immediately re-upgraded to npm 6.14.11 and completed the upgrade successfully. My theory then is that the upgrade to 6.14.x probably happened on a failed XO upgrade leaving the system in a state that I could no longer upgrade. It now appears fixed.

    The whole point to have users from the sources on master is to help us to find issues we might missed during the development (because it's a branch that's made to run, we only merge into it when we are OK with the new code to add after multiple code review). That's a kind of a moral contract if you are using it from the sources: you don't pay for anything despite having all XO features for free. In exchange, you can report issue or ask for new features while being able to see a fix fast because immediately after a fix is merged, it's available on master. If you want stability and no surprises at all (let's say to run XO in… production ) then XOA is the way to go

    @olivierlambert said in Migrate button enhancements: Hi! I think we fixed the migration issue in XOA latest. What version are you using? I'm running XOA 5.56.0 / latest channel. You are right. It is indeed fixed when doing migration from the VM list view: [image: 1615357002887-54ba8d18-bfe1-401d-983a-88f852edabac-image.png] But not from within the VM view: [image: 1615357051953-895c414d-1709-4a43-be95-316b038b05cd-image.png]

    Stupid question - do you typically host Xen Orchestra ON your XCP-ng host, or elsewhere?

    I am using a Thinclient for my XCP Servers. Real small and cheap (if it is used) HP T620 with a 64G M2 SSD and 4 GRam Quadcore AMD CPU. To backup some VM i use a external USB3 HDD. It is running very nice and smoth. Power is between 5Watt an 20Watt excluding the USB Harddrive. My coutumer had mostly two Servers and a Thin client. my own Thinclient is used as a server for FHEM Homeautmatisation
