    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.

    @peo said: Error: _removeUnusedSnapshots don't handle vdi related to multiple VMs I had the same error when updated to 449E7 It ran 2 CR, then threw the error. There was other problems so I rolled back to 5bdd7 https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/11969/timestamp-lost-in-continuous-replication

    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

    @karlisi said in Interrupted CR task - what now?: Automatically deleting incomplete VMs can be dangerous This is an example - don't take it too strictly. I'm talking about exaclty the above problem. I was not aware of it. No information about the problem and this is the exactly the real problem.

    @olivierlambert said in Stuck at copying Continuous Replicated VM: In order to CR to continue after "booting it", you must use a copy. In case of you lost your origin VM, then it doesn't matter if you boot the replicated VM directly. I don't know why full clone doesn't work on this SR. I give up for now I have no idea why it did not work. No error messages on the logs also. It just stuck. anyways thank you @olivierlambert for your time. I created a new VM and attach the copied VDI 1 to it. The second VDI cannot be attached so I delete it and will copy from the source server. Looks like it is working. I have one more VM to process and this time I will double check the steps and share any progress here.

    @S-Pam said Isn't any SQL server crash safe? I.e. they should handle a system power-loss and gracefully recover (journals). A filesystem snapshot is equivalent of a power loss. You need to configure your databases accordingly. Most of maria/mysql have enabled innodb doublewrite enabled by default: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-doublewrite-buffer.html But just in case of Active Directory... I really really want to have consistent snapshot/backups

    Add Host to pool, is this non-destructive to local VM's?

    Yes. That would be a way of doing so. If you can afford the downtime, you could also use a backup solution (XOA, Alike DR, etc.) to backup the VMs from both hosts, build the pool from scratch using both hosts in a clean state, and then restore back into the new pool (this way gives you a chance to not only start fresh; but, implement any big "lessons learned" or "new ideas" you've got on your list).

    Ping @pdonias IIRC, it's not trivial but this is obviously something we'll working on for XO 6 (there's also limitation in XAPI, because it doesn't tell you what's going on for real behind a task)

    Hello, The DNS names of the master (and nodes also with a pattern) should be configurable for the user indeed. We'll add it in a next version of the recipe. Thanks for the feedback!

    @bberndt said in Create job to migrate several VMs: Tring to create a job, to schedule the migration of several VMs to another host. At the bottom, there are a couple things I don't know. There are two check boxes here for each of these: mapVdisSrs mapVifsNetworks They don't seem to do anything. What are these? Also, what goes in the box Migration Network. The name storage1, or network1 don't work. thanks. Ah! the UUID of the storage Migration network on the destination is what I need, apparently.

    Check host logs to understand why. Maybe those VHD were attached to the control domain or something like that.
