    @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.

    @s-pam said in Multiple remotes in a backup - how is retention calculated: OK Great. So if I set retention to 10, it would keep 10 copies on each remote? Yes. it will keep 10 copies on each remote.

    In theory, Xen Orchestra got a protection against this issue (see https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backup_troubleshooting.html#vdi-chain-protection ) So you have to find what's causing a long chain outside XO. You can check in XO, in the Advanced tab of the SR view, if there's VDI to coalesce. Or maybe very long chain for other reasons, there's a tool we made called xapi-explore-sr.

    Use CR instead of DR then, it will send only the diff to the other host, so it will be faster.

    I can migrate this VM from another host (7.6) to the 8.2 host just fine: [image: 1612363337871-29412a19-7047-4feb-a82e-1b3d3ce61a94-image.png] Im not sure what the agent actually is, thats why im guessing this might be related [image: 1612363441628-eb67e1dd-0979-4b17-94a8-b3d4f72397a5-image.png] VM that fails: [image: 1612363482511-153e71d2-3779-4894-b990-3b4f6b02e032-image.png]

    @s-pam said in ova problems: @crazytoo Best way to be sure it to boot the VM using a live-cd, for example systemrescue-cd or ubuntu live-dvd. Then you can use tools like gparted to inspect your disk image from inside the booted vm. That's exactly what I advised to do earlier, but it seems it was missed the first time I think that's the best approach to understand what's going on in the VM disk.

    @jedimarcus No. But I think the problem could be an issue where I merged two remote backup trees.

    Complete solution is delete delete all jobs with type "call" then delete this job ids from job_ids table. After this delete all schedule's with this job ids. And then delete this schedule ids from schedule_ids table.

    Hi, I think the issue was already reported on EVE-ng forums. It's a problem with their image and Xen, if I remember correctly.

    Hi, We never had the time to formalize that. But we do something "close": feature requests via paid support ticket are given a top priority. For the community feedback, it's pretty easy to see what's the most required via github repo or here.

    Hi, Please open a support ticket so we can take a look remotely. In theory, just removing the SR should be enough.

    @danp said in XOA backups missing after changing IP on the remote: Hi @s-pam, I assume you tried disabling and then reenabling the remote, correct? Dan Yes indeed. Thanks for the suggestion. I did file a support ticket so hopefully I can get some support to solve this.

    @badraz Thank you for your time, I think I finally fixed it. This is how: First time I've installed XO from this guide: https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater I used Appliance version - prebuilt VM with XO installed. And there was a problem with negative values. Now I've tried this guide: https://github.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_updater And instead of using prebuilt VM version, I ran Installation script on previously created Debian 10 VM. After script finish installing XO and all necessary libraries/dependencies, I've all telemetry working properly.

    @julien-f said in Task list enhancement: We don't to do special cases for some operations in XO 5, we'll revisit this in XO 6 which will bring the notion of XO tasks in addition to XAPI tasks. But we'll probably display the elapsed and estimated duration of the task though Regarding previous tasks, why do you need to hide some of them? How do you use these previous tasks? Hello Julien, Well, it's not really that I use them. It's just that being so filled with information not useful most of the times, it's quite unusable (with all due respect for your great job). Example of what for? To see how much it lasted an already finished VM moving/copy operation. Displaying elapsed (and estimated, and I know this won't be always 100% accurante, but will be under normal circumstandes tho) would be great. After all, knowing the size of the object that it's being copied/moved, you can always extrapolate how much is remaining knowing how much it's lasting at any given moment. Thanks!
