    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.

    That's a very good question, let me ask internally. Ping @pdonias he might know the answer

    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

    Thanks for the suggestion, but don't you think we never thought to that before? I start to think you are considering us as 2 people in a garage. We are crunching numbers on a regular basis, and it never computes with those models. Proxmox is here since a long time, with a strong and "large" use base allowing to use this model. This is not the case for us now. So on short term, this is not doable. But be assured we are continuously working on testing various models to see what's the best fit.

    @rkelley You nailed it for item 2. Was driving me crazy! Ok, that does make sense for item #1 and was kinda what I was thinking. But it does lead one to believe you can't live migrate anything with a single host even if you have shared/remote storage available unless you poke around and experiment with different buttons like i did.

    That's "normal" if you are running XO (from the sources) and not XOA (the pre-built appliance)

    @Danp Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was following an older howto where --global was not specified. That was my first problem - now fixed! Second problem was that I had installed into the root directory of Centos7 so the paths for creating the links were different. Once I had found the correct paths and created the links all was good. Thanks again. Frank.

    @fx991 the SR scans can and have been helpful in detecting storage issues for me. Sometimes when my ISO library goes offline but XCP-ng has not detected the failure and still shows it as connected I usually notice it from the long running SR scans that get stuck. The "Connection to VM console..." task is when you have a console window open to a VM or Host...hence the reason why you can't cancel/end it...if you want to get rid of it then close all open console windows

    I can already confirm that I could trigger 2 Jobs manually in XO and it run successfully. Thanks! The scheduled ones I will see tomorrow and report if it would fail, but it is not expected.

    It could, I don't know what XCP-ng Center can do in details. But again, this is NOT a problem. I said it 3 times, why do you think it's still related to your coalesce problems?

    It's the default parameter of your template. XCP-ng Center is probably forcing fixed memory, XO is just doing template recommendation. You can change values at creation in "Advanced" section.

    Building Xen Orchestra from Source: FreeBSD xo-web:build _ Error: null

    @Danp As soon as I read that, I thought "I think I've been down this road before." Sure enough. I gave it 2G of RAM and it wouldn't build. I gave it 4G of RAM and I watched using systat and that final step went to about 52% of RAM usage. It has completed. I routinely run Xen Orchestra on a 1G VM because it's rarely used and it runs fine that way. But building it clearly takes a lot more RAM. I'll update my internal notes. It might be worth it to update the building from source docs to mention having enough RAM. Thanks for hitting the nail on the head with that advice!

    XOA got its own numbering, unrelated to xo-server or xo-web: it'a all a matter of a coherent "whole", including dependencies etc. Thing we can't provide when built on sources. Please test and report You can switch to latest too, doesn't matter.
