    Is there a way to specify a primary and secondary Active Directory server when configuring auth-ldap? I've encountered situations where the specified URI (ldap://activedirectory1.domain.x.y) server isn't reachable so I'd like to be able to specify a secondary AD server using something like this: ldap://activedirectory1.domain.x.y, ldap://activedirectory2.domain.x.y Basically multiple AD servers; separated by a comma. Unlike the other forum post regarding Multiple AD Sources, both of these control the same domain. Thanks.

    @poddingue I see backups in the tasks view fine, just not mirror ones. I'm talking about v5, haven't converted to v6 yet because of missing features.

    Xen Orchestra Kubernetes Storage Driver new release v0.2.0 Introducing dynamic provisioning The latest CSI driver release introduces dynamic provisioning: by creating a Kubernetes storage class that references the XO CSI driver and sets the poolId parameter, you can then create a PVC and pod using that storage class, and Xen Orchestra will automatically provision new VDIs into the default SR of the chosen pool, to satisfy the requested volumes. Your feedback on the CSI driver is welcome! Which features would you like to see? How would you like to use the driver and storage classes? https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.2.0

    @olivierlambert having exactly the same issue as wcom939 reported. What did you mean by "Can you try with xe command to see if you have the same error?" ? Migrate using CLI? there are too many options:)

    @danp thank you, but in our case the 2nd remote is a hypervisor? I dont know how we should run the backup first then copy the VHD files to the the 2nd hypervisor as continuous replication also creates a VM? I am sure that if I can limit the amount of VM's that is exported once (it's currently 2) then the backups for the large VM should complete. Is there a setting available for this?

    Thanks both, agreed, in hindsight this should be configured on the VM itself as it could lead to unexpected issues (like maintenance and having VM's start by themselves) Thanks for the input

    Here is a good explanation: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xencenter/7-1/dmc-about.html Static can only be set while the VM is offline. Dynamic can be changed in live. When you'll live migrate a VM, it will be decreased to the dynamic min. So take care to use a value that's higher than your VM operating system minimum RAM usage.

    That's a way to do it. Use smart backup on tags. Eg a tag called "delta only" and a tag "delta+CR", so you'll be sure to assign the right tag to your VM

    No. The parent folder. XO will search for the folder xo-vm-backups directly edit: if your share was previously <NFS_IP>:/myshare, then you should use this very same one, and NOT <NFS_IP>:/myshare/xo-vm-backups

    There's 2 reasons: XAPI doesn't tell us if the transfer is complete or just cut. We just stop to receive chunks, and after a bit, we decide that's it, there's no more data to send (that's the normal behavior even when it works!) XVAs are hard to validate, depending on various factors. We do a VHD validation (so for delta backup) but XVAs are another thing

    On the remote side, right? It won't be "dedup" if it's your question (for now at least). We are thinking on a smart way to dedup it efficiently It's not trivial because we don't have a lot of control on the host itself, but we might find solutions.

    @nraynaud well i just used the datastore browser to download the vmdk. i did the same thing with some other (smaller) VMs without any problems. All of this from the same ESXi host. Thanks for looking into it though, i will try the export VM way next but have to find the right time for a shutdown ...

    That's correct @mauzilla We use a VHD chain on destination so it's equivalent to get "snapshots" of a VM So it's delta everywhere with the same full parent for the same original VM.
