    I am running NVIDIA P40s on a DELL R720/R730 and a NVIDIA A2000 12GB on a DELL Optiplex 9010 in my playlab. Getting the GPUs to be accessible for VMs was quite easy: shutdown the XCP-ng host, install the GPUs, start the host again, activate the GPU in the advanced settings of the host in the PCI Devices section (“Passthrough enabled”). The host will restart at this point after displaying a warning. That's it – the GPU can now be assigned to a VM in the VMs advanced settings. I do use the GPUs for AI workloads under Debian though, so your use case might vary.

    @bleader Hopefully the palm print on my forehead isn't visible from where you are sitting. Of course the interface needs an IP address. In my defense, normally for something like this, I wouldn't put it on the bonded interface with all the trunked VLAN's for guest traffic (we don't give that one an IP) and it would go on the other bonded interface that isn't trunked and does get an IP, but these are test hosts and I didn't set up the other bond, so it is pulling double duty. I was able to set the IP's and get SDN working. Thanks!

    I deployed XOA and used it to create a list of all XO dependencies and their respective versions as this seems to be the baseline that Vates tests against. I then went ahead and re-deployed my XO CE VM using the exact same package versions that XOA uses. This resulted in me using Debian 12, kernel 6.1, Node 20, etc. I hope that this gives my backup jobs more stability. It would be convenient if we would be able to get this information (validated, stable dependencies) from documentation instead of having to deploy XOA. Best regards

    Kubernetes CCM for Xen Orchestra v1.0.0-rc.1 We’re shipping v1.0.0-rc.1, our first release candidate on the road to a stable 1.0.0! This RC is feature-complete and ready for real-world use. Please try it out and share any feedback—bugs, regressions, or usability notes—so we can polish the final release. Thank you for testing and helping us! https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-cloud-controller-manager/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.1 Golang SDK for Xen Orchestra v1.11.0 SDK v2: VM and Task services now match the latest REST API. Host service has been added for host data retrieval. Integration tests have also been strengthened to boost reliability. The v2 SDK is gradually becoming our main library for all the other DevOps tools (Kubernetes drivers, Terraform provider…). There are BREAKING CAHNGES in the v2 SDK, so please read the release notes carefully. Remember that the v2 SDK is a beta version and can be subject to significant changes. The current semantic versioning we use is mostly for the v1 SDK. When the v2 SDK becomes stable, the major version number will increase. https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-go-sdk/releases/tag/v1.11.0

    Not a huge deal currently, but if I had a number of VDI's spread out, it could exeed any single available space which means I cant restore at all... Can this be done in an alternative way via CLI?

    What does your cloud config logs show on the guest OS after boot? Can you see if it has made any attempt to inject the config? Only thing I can think of is that your cloud config might be wrong thus the cloud init service is refusing it. Have you tried to use an ubuntu image? I used official images of both debian 10 and ubuntu 18.04 and worked fine once I got rid of the pre-populated network config or inserted a real network config. I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on so let me know if there's anything else you need to know, it's super frustrating.

    Question: Delta backup retention vs. full backup interval

    @Vinylrider your understanding is correct, delta retention is just how many deltas to keep before merging the oldest delta with the full. Full backup interval is the time between each new full back up for use in case of corrupted back up. To answer your question, yes it is recommended to have more than 1 full back up to fall back to in the event of corruption espcially of delta backups since delta backups rely on previous deltas meaning if one of your delta is corrupted, you'll loose all data from that point onward until another full backup is made, or worse your full backup could be corrupted (more likely because of the file size) then you loose the whole chain. And if your corrupted delta is merged with the full, you'll probably have a corrupted chain aswell.

    @aghering the [NOBAK] option only excludes the transfer process, it will still try to make a snapshot of the disks. There are many possible causes for your UNIMPLEMENTED IN SM BACKEND issue, the most likely causes are probably storage related. If it is not a critical VM, you can try to disconnect the second storage disk and try again. If that doesn't work you might have to forget the SR and try (you can reattach it again, just need to remember your sr-uuid. Also, your /var/log/SMlog might reveal something.

    Makes sense now that you mention it... Perhaps I should have realized that because obviously the backups only run on my primary XO instance. Thanks!

    Yes, backup jobs require attached schedules to be executed properly.

    Hi @tony yes I understand that, actually I made a post a while back spanning different aspects of the XOA and where I feel Center is more intuitive but as suggestion for XOA improvement if anyone cares to consider it. Regarding the adding of SR's to pools, I leave my suggestion here, have a selector for pool instead of host, it'd be more intuitive imho. Cheers all.

    Becouse xoa backup is painfully slow... it's good for CR but for full vm backup, let's say it's unsuitable... on my 1Gb lan, full vm backup (DR or Copy) from xcp1 to xcp2 I have about 10-15Mb/s. This is the topic I've asked many times on this forum. And guys from vProtect brag that the speed im much better on their soft due to CBT not vhd delta - which I'll check in a while.
