    @john.c I've put this on the feedback portal as a feature request, so it doesn't get buried in a thread that started out about pool masters: https://feedback.vates.tech/posts/121/publish-build-date-and-package-manifest-sbom-with-the-xoa-xva-download . As far as I know votes there help the team prioritise, so if you and @Forza want it, that's the place to say so. There's an open PR adding SBOM generation (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/10368), but going by the files it touches it covers XO's own JavaScript dependencies, not the Debian packages in the appliance. I've only looked at the file list, not the code, so happy to be corrected. How often the downloadable XVA gets rebuilt, I still don't know: @Danp said back in 2024 that it isn't rebuilt for every XOA release (https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/81220), which would fit the 2025.12 tag, but I'd rather not guess beyond that.

    @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.

    @DustinB Everything a care about gets backed up and health checked each night, some things really should be several times a day, but 1 day is tollerable. I'll have to get things updated after I deal with some php2shell stuff, that will need to come first. And now NPM in my XO machines.

    @julienXOvates said: Just discussed this with @nathanael-h; I would strongly recommend using the load balancer plugin in XO and create some VM-to-host affinity rules, so that your CP VMs are running on different hosts ! So when the RPU comes you would have minimum impact. Yeah the Load Balancer plugin is an option, though not in my plan. I could certainly get it by using XOCE for free though. I wonder if Host Affinity might work as well...

    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.

    The delta isn't computed over the network, but directly on the host itself

    @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?
