  Hello, I'm new to the world of XCP-NG/XO so this might just be a case of new user missing something obvious. I've not got a clear answer from a search of the docs/forums, so figured it was worth asking. I'm running XCP-NG 8.3 on my host. I'm managing it with Xen Orchestra from sources (commit 8d39f). I've got a VM that I'd like to use for some basic Ollama/Openwebui tasks, so want to passthrough the Nvidia GPU from the host. I'm not using Ollama/Webui 24/7 so I'd also like to dynamically allocate RAM so that I don't have to consistently throw large quantities of the hosts RAM at it. For this reason, I configured the VM with the following memory setup: Static: 1 GiB/48 GiB Dynamic: 16 GiB/48 GiB When the VM is running, this configuration appears to work. I have the GPU passed through and the dynamic memory allocation set. When I stop the VM and attempt to start it again, the boot fails with the error: Error from xenguesthelper: Populate on Demand and PCI Passthrough are mutually exclusive If I adjust dynamic to be 48 GiB/48 GiB the machine will then boot. Once booted, I can then once again apply the desired dynamic config of 16 GiB/48 GiB. Am I misunderstanding the configuration options and this is just not supported, or have I stumbled across a bug?

  @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).

  @Studmuffn1134 I changed my link from ws:// to https:// and it now gives me this error File "Z:\Valera\School\Lakeland University\Finished\Programming 2\Python Programs\StudsPrograms.venv\Lib\site-packages\jsonrpc_base\jsonrpc.py", line 213, in parse_response raise ProtocolError(code, message, data) jsonrpc_base.jsonrpc.ProtocolError: (10, 'invalid parameters', {'error': {'message': 'invalid parameters', 'code': 10, 'data': {'errors': [{'instancePath': '/id', 'schemaPath': '#/properties/id/type', 'keyword': 'type', 'params': {'type': 'string'}, 'message': 'must be string'}]}}, 'id': '0a11ec72-9300-4030-a5d2-a5c0286f3811', 'jsonrpc': '2.0'})

  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/.
