    @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.

    If you do the storage migration from XO, you shouldn't have to do anything. XAPI does refuse to move a disk while CBT is on, as @jr-m4 said, but reading XO's code it catches that refusal, turns CBT off on the VM's disks and retries. The price to pay is that the next backup of that VM is a full one, and the backup job switches CBT back on. The other trade-offs are in the docs (https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backups-and-dr/backup-types/incremental_backups#purge-snapshot-data-cbt) : NBD has to be enabled, snapshot retention has to be 0, and since the purged snapshot only keeps metadata you can't roll back to it.

    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.

    @olivierlambert Haha, I lost belief in 'logical' many years ago. What I think is logical and what others think is logical, often is very different So, I still think it's great, cause it takes one command out of my CLI VM import pipe line

    @jedimarcus Oh, that makes sense. XO is managing the backup so it needs an IP on the VLAN. I was focusing on the hosts. Once I added a network interface on the XO server for the VLAN, everything worked as expected. Thanks!

    @olivierlambert said in Cloudinit does not work correctly: @mlustosa said in Cloudinit does not work correctly: ssh-ed25519 This is probably the issue. Are you sure you added correctly your key manually? it's correct. I have two keys, one id_ed25519 and the other id_rsa.

    I actually had more cores assigned to the vm earlier. Maybe that caused it.

    Update failed and made a new vm. Snapshot now works. Thanks for the tip. Had a nfs connection problem after that but that worked again after I ran an apt install nfs-common on the new vm.

    Trying something new... Remove all servers from XO and log out. Host 1 is powered off. On host 2. xe task-list uuid ( RO) : 727ecb6b-6f2e-15eb-601b-110b2478996b name-label ( RO): Async.host.power_on name-description ( RO): status ( RO): pending progress ( RO): 0.000 xe task-cancel uuid=727ecb6b-6f2e-15eb-601b-110b2478996b Task is still there. From XCP-NG Center. Shutdown all VMs and host2 (All powered off). Powered up both servers. Wait 15 minutes to make sure no tasks are pending (xe task-list). Logging output to file via putty of; tail -f /var/log/audit.log Added host2 (master) to XO Settings/Servers. The Async.host.power_on task hasn't come back.

    @olivierlambert could this error be more verbose? I think this error should say: Cannot write file .keeper_uygbivt5lv on remote <whatever the remote name/address> NFS is mounted but XOA cannot write to mounted dir. This happens in NFSv4 as default when sec=sys on NFS server (that is the default).

    @olivierlambert @olivierlambert said in OVA import failing: Keep in mind the file has to flow from your browser toward your XOA, then to your XOA to your host, which might use another network share itself. If your XOA could mount the place where you have your OVA directly, you could use upload-ova utility (see https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/tree/master/%40xen-orchestra/upload-ova#usage ) to send them directly. Going to look into that, thank you.

    @julien-f is aware of the problem, he's working on getting proxy fully independent on the network connection. Can you check why the connection between XOA and your proxy is interrupted? Is there any reason you have in mind?

    I said that for both statements: It's not Xen fault if it doesn't work on top of KVM, but Xen accessing some virt features that aren't correctly exposed by KVM. I'm not blaming them, nested virt is a mess to properly code and test. Consider this as experimental everywhere. I missed the "for me". But it's also vague, I don't know your constraints/what do you want. Also, I think I heard that some users made it work with Virtualbox, but it might also depends on your hardware. As I said, nested virt is a mess, and sometimes, some hardware works better than others (or even some VBox versions).
