    I've got my OPNsense (FreeBSD) router running in a VM on XCP, and it does have the xe-guest-utilities installed. I'm trying to figure out an issue on one of the interfaces, and I noticed a weird discrepancy in XO with this VM. The MAC addresses and such for the interfaces being used by the VM are all off. It seems that VIF #0 is the only one coming up correctly. Unfortunately, I don't think the FreeBSD or OPNsense teams have a maintainer for the xe-guest-utilities package, and so what they distribute is showing as 6.2.1-76888 in XO. [image: 1773276971518-xoa_guest_discrepancies.png] I don't know if this is what is causing my network issue, but I thought it strange.

    After updating to XCP-ng 8.3 (March 2026), IPMI / iDRAC information fails in both XO5 stable and XO6 stable (built from sources). It is thrown a XENAPI_PLUGIN_FAILURE log line for failure of the "ipmitool lan print" which works fine on the (DELL) node(s). These are old PowerEdge R430 and R810 with iDRAC versions 6 and 8 and worked well before the upgrade, so I guess tihis may be due to a XAPI command failing. Worth mentioning for this nice-to have feature.

    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    Sorry, you are right. The first time it didn't start and didn't show an error?? I just ran the job again with successful backup and it started without issue.

    Short answer: no. Long answer: I'm not sure on the "how" we could do that. You should probably ask a XAPI developer about this. I'll try to get one or two here

    Hi! I suppose you mean XOA? And yes, you can, until we have a UUID bind per XOA.

    The information is visible in the build number you have in your XO section. The build number will be visible in the latest appliance once deployed. Because it's not mandatory to use the last one, we don't track it. As I said, it's not a problem to update it until we ask people to change it

    Right now there's no way to know what's happening inside a VM disk. So we can't know when a VM disk is full or not.

    I had similar problems in 8. Even though I had static leases set in DHCP, oftentimes services come up before the IP address has been obtained. The physical console and SSH worked, but not XOA nor XCP center. Set a static IP address and reboot. If that does not work, repeat the installation and set a static IP at install. Make sure your IP address has not changed and look at the lease time. Is it only leased out for a few minutes? Here is where we discussed it for version 8: Broken Host Consoles in fresh xcp-ng 8 installation. VM consoles work.

    Hi, No. Using UUIDs is vital to have consistent files (if you change the VDI or VM name etc.) Any XO, even a fresh one, is able to connect to your remote and restore your backup. So there's no need to access files directly.

    How to save Statistic from XOA when rebooting the XCP-NG Nodes?

    It should be the same result on XCP-ng Center: it uses RRDs files stored on the host. Why do you continue to talk about the after the reboot? You mean after the upgrade, right? RRDs are preserved after a reboot If you do a yum update, those stats should be in theory preserved. If it's not the case, try to diagnose why, by comparing behavior between XCP-ng Center and XO. If it's not the same, then it's a client issue. If it's the same, then it means a version upgrade (yum or ISO) won't preserve RRDs. If you really want long terms stats for "real production" usage on long term, I strongly suggest that you think to store them in a real time series database, like Prometheus or so.

    @dbeato Update on this. Basically I needed to run the Updates on the XCP-ng hosts even though they were on 8.1 and upgraded 5 packages. Once I did that since I had an Updated XOA system, then I reboot the servers and XOA and now backups are running!
