    @florent Thanks for your reply! We have started to migrate thousands of VMs, so disk transfer speed is important for us.. We will also do our detailed tests soon with different threads setting and publish it here. I think threads=1 is a good and logical default, but not efficient. Others might complain if you set it to a higher value. Configuration option would be a real good solution.

    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

    @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

    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)

    @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.

    @akurzawa xo-server is not explicitly multi-processed, but it uses async IO calls in Node which should lead to multi-threaded operations. Anyway, we are currently working on reimplementing backups for the proxy and it will eventually lead to using multiple processes. These changes will at the end be merged back to xo-server as well.

    If you create two separated jobs. One for the CR and one for the Rolling snapshot they will not interfere.
