    @poddingue I'm using XOA 6.2.2. Unfortunately not able to update at the moment. Which reminds me of another thing. Where is there release information for the XOA XVA itself? When I login to my account, there is only the download button but no information on what version it is. [image: image.jpeg] I would like to know when a new version is published and a changelog for it. When I import the current XVA it is tagged with 2025.12 [image: image.jpeg]

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    @bug-meister Ah. That's cloud-init's support for templating user-data. The issue is that with these templates you only have access to the info available inside the VM itself. No outside data can be used for templating unless it is somehow passed to the VM (inject a file, set xenstore values...)

    Your CR issue might be related to a XO bug on master, not too a XCP-ng issue

    Continuous Replication -> SR Disk space

    Hi, There is different things one must consider during CR: SR type: block based or file based? First one will be thick provisioned, so plan a lot of space (eg: local LVM, LVM over iSCSI etc.). Local ext/XFS, NFS or XOSAN aren't affected by this problem Snapshot left: to do a delta, we must have a way to compare to something. The snapshot which left on the SR is the one that will be used for the next backup. It will be compared to the current disk state and only the delta will be sent. So that's perfectly normal "Job canceled to protect the VDI chain": this is a protection to avoid doing another backup while the previous removed snapshot isn't coalesced. You have a link in the message, please refer to the documentation for details

    Continuous Replication -> Exchange Log

    @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!!
