    @florent Thanks for your reply! We have started to migrate thousands of VMs, so disk transfer speed is important for us.. We will also do our detailed tests soon with different threads setting and publish it here. I think threads=1 is a good and logical default, but not efficient. Others might complain if you set it to a higher value. Configuration option would be a real good solution.

    Hello I'm pulling stats for all VMs to understand CPU usage. We're a bit behind the curve in terms of XO versions, but these questions hopefully are still relevant. If using a granularity of days, the interval is set to 86400 (understandably) but the endTimestamp varies. Running this on June 9th @ ~1740 we get timestamps for both Mon Jun 8 01:00:00 AM BST 2026 and Tues Jun 9 01:00:00 AM BST 2026. Does this average across the day? Why is the timestamp 0100? Why would there be different timestamps between VMs (all are running) and does that mean that the figures are misaligned in the results? These are retrieved via curl and a bash script, a bit hacky, but for clarity the request is: ++ curl -X GET -s -H accept:application/json -b authenticationToken=[[REDACTED]] -o [[REDACTED]] 'https://[[REDACTED]]/rest/v0/vms/[[REDACTED]]/stats?granularity=days' Really keen to know if we can control the start and endtime, as well as provide a manual interval, as well as the aggregation strategy (min, max, average). Are any of these possible? Lastly, is cpuUsage the percentage as per the dashboard, but averaged over all CPUs? Thanks so much in advance. James

    The Kubernetes CSI driver for Xen Orchestra just hit v0.4.0, and we want it on more real clusters before it reaches a stable release candidate. If you run Kubernetes on XCP-ng VMs, this is a good time to give it a proper workout. What's new in v0.4.0: Local-storage support Automatic pool-discovery fallback Kubernetes metadata now lives in Xen Orchestra VDI tags instead of the deprecated other_config. That change also drops the old requirement for Xen Orchestra 6.4 or newer, so the driver runs on more deployments now. ️ Read this before you upgrade. v0.4.0 is a breaking change. The Kubernetes metadata moved from other_config to VDI tags, so you must migrate before upgrading from v0.3.0. Do not upgrade in place: follow the v0.3.0 to v0.4.0 migration guide in the release notes, then move to v0.4.0. What helps us most is hearing how it behaves on your own setup: what works, what breaks, which storage backend you use, and which flavour of Kubernetes you run (k3s, full k8s, or something else). Edge cases on real clusters are the ones we don't see in our own testing. Where to report: start right here in this thread. It keeps everything visible to the community and lets others on the same setup jump in. If something turns out to be a reproducible bug, we'll move it to a GitHub issue on the repo so the team can track it to a fix. Release notes and migration guide: https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.4.0

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

    @vmpr Not much, this is a system issue which means that it's either due to your NFS server or to the connection between your XO and the NFS server. First, try to unmount the share and restart xo-server, if it keeps happening, restart the whole machine on which XO is. If that does not help, you should mount the share manually and do some tests directly on it.

    Most users are relying NFS shares. However, we are open to build something for tapes. The problem is: we have no knowledge on that technology nor have any tape system in our lab. If there's enough traction for this, or even sponsored dev to do it, we'll be happy to work on that!

    @olivierlambert XO does not test the full VHD structure because that would be too long, but does check both the begining and the end of the file (and all other VHDs in the chain) before each backup to make sure the files were not truncated. For full backup we are using a simple heuristic to attempt to validate XVA files, but it's very basic and unfortunately it does not applies to compressed files.

    For the installation of the correct node version for some major Linux distributions please follow the installation instructions in this readme: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md The Ubuntu section worked for me.

    @julien-f I believe that you already updated the docs, but that occurred after the postings above. You may want to review the section discussing forever-service to be sure it doesn't need modified.

    @s-pam i'd say use them, always use the. Only a few KB of space and could be every handy. We have 3 servers in the pool so overlooked requirement for full pool recovery. (p.s we didn't fail, it's during DR testing it was flagged) we had the backups on already and if this had been a real issue, would have saved a lot of bacon!! turn it on ! (and check you can get it without a running XOA for quicker restore in full meltdown.)

    This section has nothing to do with XOA IP address, but useful to restrict some VMs to some IP address. I agree it's unclear. But as I said, for now, there's 0 GUI to configure the system per se. That's why I said it could be an addition sure, but there's nothing yet, so adding it will take some time or efforts, and it's not a priority as we speak (our backlog is already pretty big). But again, as an Open Source project, we are welcoming contributions!

    Questions: Placing a new VM in a suitable pool/How is a host chosen ?

    To pick a pool: it's up to you to decide, depending on available pool storage capacity, speed. Same for compute and network. It's very very specific to your own needs, there's no universal rules. Host selection for a VM: it's not decided by XO but by XAPI (except if you specifically ask to boot on a host). IIRC, it's a mix of load and memory available, but if you want to dig further, it should be written in the XAPI code somewhere
