    @stormi I really appreciate the continued help. I'm not sure it works. On my single-host pool master—the one I want to join into my half-upgraded pool—I run the command: xe host-emergency-disable-tls-verification It returns with no errors. If I do xe host-param-list and look through the parameters for my host, I see: tls-verification-enabled ( RO): false This is the only thing I see documented that can turn off TLS verification. If some other command like pool-uninstall-ca-certificate would have the effect of disabling TLS verification, I can't see that documented anywhere. In fact, even though xe pool-uninstall-ca-certificate appears to be a valid command that my xe binary knows about, I can't find that particular command documented at all. Even after the emergency-disable-tls-verification, if I attempt to join that host to the half-upgraded pool (using xe pool-join...) I get: Error code: POOL_JOINING_HOST_TLS_VERIFICATION_MISMATCH It seems like even though the host has TLS verification off, the fact that its pool has verification enabled is blocking the action.

    Hi, Latest XOA, with fully patched XCP 8.3 here. I'm fiddling around again with NBD+CBT in backup jobs (was avoiding CBT for a time, to reliably control my backups and avoid unnecessary KEY points) in the context of THICK SRs to spare some space. I know that CBT is reset when migrating from one SR to another. But here is what I encounter : VM has no CBT enabled on its VDIs, it is on a SHARED SR in a pool of 3 hosts backup option changed for NBD+CBT, was only NBD before CBT is enabled on the next run by the backup job, I get a delta (was expecting a FULL ?) next run, delta, as expected i migrate this VM on another HOST, without changing its SR CBT is immediatly disabled ? why ?? next run of backup it tries a delta, but "fall back to a full" (normal as CBT has been disabled...), and do a KEY point on the remote next run is a delta as expected does this mean if I do a rolling pool update or host maintenance that will move the all VMs around, all CBT will be disabled and I should expect a FALL BACK TO FULL on all my NBD+CBT enabled backup jobs ??! why disabling CBT on a change of HOST and no move of SR ?

    @mts said in Continuous Replication -> Exchange Log: If you use the native windows-backup or a third-party application it will delete the transaction-log after backup. How can I achieve the same with xen-orchestra? I'm running low on disk-space right now... I think that you confusing physical (layer) backup with logical backup. XOA can backup/replicate/snapshot phisical medium which is a hard disk presented to your VM. It has nothing to do with the data in the VM (logical layer).

    Hmm I think it might be possible using xe CLI and creating the drives manually (creating VBDs I suppose). I never spotted such a use case before, but again, might be doable It is using VNC (via noVNC in XO). You can copy a template, but a template is just a set of "configuration" for your VM (eg PV or HVM mode, some virtual BIOS settings).

    Hi, If you are using XOA, please create a support ticket. This way our teams could take a look remotely to find the best solution.

    Thanks for the tip. I was using node v8.11.4 and had issues compiling during the upgrade then upgraded to the latest stable node version which wasn't v8.x. I upgraded to v8.16.2 now and it runs fine. Thanks.

    Indeed, 6.2 uses a very old configuration for keyboard mapping and therefore doesn't work correctly with XO.

    I switched due to SSD replacement and XCP-ng new installation. I didn't think about that switching from ext3 to lvm does also have an effect from thin to thick provisioning Anyway I found the explaination, here -> "a snapshot on a LVM based SR will double the whole VM disk size!" But I will think about to switch to ext4 -> topic solved, thank you!!

    Change the remote in your job config. If you want to keep the previous backup there, just move or copy everything to the new remote.

    No it's not how it works in XAPI. You need a dedicated ISO SR using only *.iso file name/extension.
