    @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.

    Hi, It failed because you changed the npm version manually. You can indeed re-deploy a fresh XOA, export the configuration and import it on the new one.

    I'm not against exposing this in the UI, it might be not that difficult. However, more traction will obviously make it possible

    In fact, there's 2 different things: Downloading and unpacking the updates (yum process). This won't change anything right now, because your current updated programs are likely running in memory (Xen, Linux, XAPI…) so only a reboot will make things changed: it's the current update button on the pool view. Evacuating the host, rebooting it to get all the new versions, and migrate back VMs to it (starting by the master) Right now, 1. need to be triggered manually (you must do it otherwise it won't happen: bad if you forgot) but everything else is managed at all hosts of the pool at the same time (good). And 2 is entirely manual. So that's why I wrote this, to get 1. and 2. entirely automated while being safe and giving you reports: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5286 I have hopes we can deliver a first version (at least from the CLI) for this month release olivierlambert created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed Scheduled Rolling pool updates (with reports) for XCP-ng #5286

    There was a recent commit on Github dealing with NFS mounts. Suggest that you rebuild with the latest source and then try setting up the NFS storage again.

    @fluffy-bunny Use this to get your VBDs from each VM xe vm-param-get param-name=VBDs uuid=<vm-uuid> Then to get the name of each VDI file use this xe vbd-param-get param-name=vdi-uuid uuid=<vbd-uuid> But as olivier said, it is much easier to just use XO's disk view of the VM you want, then use the "copy" button to copy its VDI name.

    If migration failed, there's a reason. It's usually stable. Obviously, because your hosts weren't in the pool, a different CPU model can be the problem (they are automatically adapted if they are in the same pool).
