    @irtaza9 Is this on a single host or a pool? Are all hosts properly time-synchronized? It it related to just one specific storage device or on any, e.g., is the behavior the same on a locally-created SR? Are there any hung tasks causing unnecessary I/O on that storage device?

    @dknight-bg the Feeder post you linked asks for two things: sending audit events to syslog, which is what this PR does, and recording successful logins, which as far as I can tell the PR doesn't touch. If others reading this need either one, a vote on https://feedback.vates.tech/posts/88/audit-log-forward-events-to-remote-syslog-record-successful-logins is the easiest way to show it. The PR is still waiting for a reviewer, as far as I can see.

    Hi, @Velocity1192 . On v6 first: creating and editing backup jobs still happens in XO 5 for now, XO 6 shows the jobs but doesn't create them yet (https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backups-and-dr/backups-in-xo6). For the schedule, @abudef asked almost the same question earlier this year. @Pilow's answer there is clearer than anything I'd write: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/104108. As I read it, you either use one daily schedule plus the "Full backup interval" setting (the full lands N runs after the chain starts), or two schedules on the same job with "Force full backup" ticked on the Sunday one. That second way is how you get to pick the day, and he says not to mix the two. One thing to expect, from @Danp in another thread (https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/91943) : the oldest backup is always a full and old deltas get merged into it, so for a while you'll see two fulls on the remote rather than weeks 1 and 2 being deleted. I don't think the scheduler can say "every other Sunday". I might be wrong there; someone who runs this kind of plan may know a trick.

    For anyone else who steps through this, I've also installed the latest xen-guest-agent with the below process. Repeat for each host in the environment, 1 at a time from your Helper VM. ### ssh into your helper ### oc debug node/fedora-cmp-1/2/3 chroot /host cd /var/tmp curl -LO https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/6041686376/artifacts/raw/RPMS/x86_64/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm sudo rpm-ostree install /var/tmp/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm mkdir /var/tmp/xga && cd /var/tmp/xga rpm2cpio ../xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv ### From your helper... DRAIN YOUR WORKERS ### oc adm drain fedora-cmp-1/2/3 --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data ### log back into fedora-cmp-1/2/3... ### sudo systemctl reboot ### from helper ### oc adm uncordon fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### login to fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### chroot /host sudo systemctl enable --now xen-guest-agent And then from XO this is what your VMs will look like.

    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.

    @slynch OK, that's very good news then! Debian was still having issues where any configuration applied via cloud-init would just be added to the existing default DHCP config, unless you took care to build the VM without the default interfaces config beforehand.

    @olivierlambert said in PCI Passthru Error not working on 8.2 but was 8.1: Hi! IOMMU should be enable in the BIOS. Double check that Also please share your grub config to see if it's correctly written. After playing with it more, the issue appears to be passing multiple devices of the same type. In this case RADEON WX7100. If I take it down to one card it works as expected. If I add more than 1, pick any quantity, then I run into the issue. The issue goes away once I reboot the host, and then I can assign a card, but the second the VM reboots the error comes back

    This can happen from time to time on master (despite we do every "broken" code in dedicated branches), sometimes you can have a surprise. That's why it's important, before anything, to get the latest commit and rebuild, to see if the issue persist. If it's the case, then reporting the problem will be helpful

    The best way would be to use XO Proxies as "Reverse HTTP proxies" (or any reverse proxy in each DC) and then tell XO to connect to those proxies. This way, each DC will have only one entry point exposed to the outside, and you could manage that with your central XO. This is a subject we planned to work in the next months. If you have a support subscription, please open a ticket so we can do initial test inside your infrastructure

    @magtech If you want to do a XOA quick deploy, you need a working internet connecting and outbound port tcp/8888 must be open to the internet. New install of XCP-ng, can't complete Quick Deploy might help?
