    Is a centralized XOA server "managing" two remote Proxy-fronted XCP clusters supported with the SDN Controller Plugin? We are looking to deploy an architecture similar to this blog post from 2022: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-proxy-a-concrete-guide/

    @pierrebrunet Hi! I'll send you xo logs of the errors. In the meantime, I've deleted "Long-term retention of backups" settings and I no longer get duplicated VMs on the DR pool. [image: 1784562046612-cb037ec5-7ad7-4c3f-8a76-1b5be06574f7-image.jpeg] So it seems that this setting is also being used for replication and I cannot use it. Don't have the space for it on my storage, with thick snapshots on lvmoiscsi.

    Hello I'm pulling stats for all VMs to understand CPU usage. We're a bit behind the curve in terms of XO versions, but these questions hopefully are still relevant. If using a granularity of days, the interval is set to 86400 (understandably) but the endTimestamp varies. Running this on June 9th @ ~1740 we get timestamps for both Mon Jun 8 01:00:00 AM BST 2026 and Tues Jun 9 01:00:00 AM BST 2026. Does this average across the day? Why is the timestamp 0100? Why would there be different timestamps between VMs (all are running) and does that mean that the figures are misaligned in the results? These are retrieved via curl and a bash script, a bit hacky, but for clarity the request is: ++ curl -X GET -s -H accept:application/json -b authenticationToken=[[REDACTED]] -o [[REDACTED]] 'https://[[REDACTED]]/rest/v0/vms/[[REDACTED]]/stats?granularity=days' Really keen to know if we can control the start and endtime, as well as provide a manual interval, as well as the aggregation strategy (min, max, average). Are any of these possible? Lastly, is cpuUsage the percentage as per the dashboard, but averaged over all CPUs? Thanks so much in advance. James

    New releases! Terraform Provider Xen Orchestra v0.40.0 This new release allows users to import VMs directly from Xen Orchestra into Terraform without recreating it or modifying manually the Terraform state. There is still some drift when importing it, but nothing that changes the real state of VM and we are currently on it! https://github.com/vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra/releases/tag/v0.40.0 Golang SDK for Xen Orchestra v1.11.0 v2 The network service is now available from the v2 client! You can now create, get and delete your network directly from it! v1 & v2 The template value in VM struct params has been fixed, We can now get the template id directly from it. https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-go-sdk/releases/tag/v1.17.0

    @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)
