    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.

    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

    Yes, setting concurrency to 1 helps me. Will try to run concurrency >1 on th pool and see how it works. When concurrency > 1 it would be nice to split backups per-host (in case of pool) or per-SR (in case of multiple SRs)

    @LEB-ID It's called Add new Server in XCP-ng Center too... old habits die hard. But Pools is not the right word either. It's hard coming up with something short and precise.

    @olivierlambert said in Backup-NG Error "invalid header checksum" after VM-Disk-Resize and reaching retention Limit.: So the issue appeared just when the oldest extended delta had to be merged in the full I suppose. This is exact, but we need to have a proper process to reproduce it. This might be related to: increasing the size of the disk above a certain threshold increasing the content of the disk above a certain threshold

    After: mount 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs /mnt/jan and i look with mount i get this: 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs on /mnt/jan type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=10.211.55.19,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.10.6) So its working. After manual typing what XO tried: mount -t nfs 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs/backup /mnt/jan -o vers=3 I get the same error: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.10.6:/mnt/raid/nfs/backup So the “-o vers=3" option is the problem. Can i edit a file in XO to get rid of the “-o vers=3” option? SOLVED In XO i used the option -o vers=4 and this works.

    @olivierlambert said in Continuous Replication fails with VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors) on fresh XOA install after XenServer 7.2 -> XCP-ng 8.0 upgrade: To your config file, yes. Where this config file is depends on where do you installed Xen Orchestra (I suppose from the sources, so I can't guess where do you installed, could be anyware ) edit: I think it's fixed now and integrated by default in the config Great, this fix already is in the new version. I was having this problem (Error: VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors)) and was not be able to do CR of my VMs but now CR works. Thank you PS: BTW that was my config file

    When you click on the link of the error message it should send you to the official documentation, explaining what it means: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backup_troubleshooting.html#error-messages I'm not sure to understand the UI question, can you post a screenshot?

    Do you mean to say when you edit the network config box, and fill it out with your own network info (adhering to this standard: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/network-config-format-v1.html) that cloudinit in the vm gives a yaml error? This indicates the way you filled out the entry box is not properly formatted. Keep in mind to pass networking info, your cloudinit install in your template VM needs to be set to use nocloud data sources, and keep in mind the network configuration passed via cloud-init is added to the template VM, not replaced, so you need to properly configure your template VM to not already have adapters configured with IP addresses etc

    Yes, you are right infact the old instances are halted and are temporarily kept till I am not sure the imported ones are perfectly working on new node. Unfortunately in the meantime I need a way to manage boths and it means xencenter or cli. Thanks for having pointed my attention to the duplicated uiids problem.

    See me previous post here -- https://xen-orchestra.com/forum/post/5072 I'm guessing that you were missing the symlinks for the plugins, otherwise they should have been present in XO.
