    Hi dinhngtu I think i have found the problem. The end of the ssh key has 'bastion production' at the end of the key and i believe this is the wrong format for cloud init, all of the other parts of the configuration file work as xen orchestra indicated that the guest utils are installed. It a bit of a pain to regenerate the keys because i have a lot of devices i connect too.

    @olivierlambert I’ve got a few VM’s that lock up from time to time. There is no rhyme nor reason (different hosts, different storage, etc). As a result, I just have a job that restarts them at 5:30 am every day. I’d like to have the software tool software restart them but, in the occasion wher the VM is locked up tight as Fort Knox, I’d like the hard reset to happen. Make sense ?

    You need to use LDAP plugin to enable user login with XO. Please refer to our official documentation: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/ldap.html

    This is an idea I had a long time ago (issue created in 2016), but due to the lack of request for this, it's not a priority. Obviously, if you have pro support, creating a ticket to get this could raise the priority of dev teams. Also, contributions are very welcome

    XOA supports CH 8.0, what's your error? XOA use another mechanism because CBT isn't really worth it (we use delta VHD instead, which is compatible even with XS Free)

    We patched some part of SMAPIv1 to "make it work" (our patches were even merged) but VHD export is another (more) complicated story. That's why we are working on SMAPIv3 now instead wasting resources on the "legacy" storage stack

    XOA: VMs' consoles don't work ("Unknown key pressed, Unknown key released")

    @Danp said in XOA: VMs' consoles don't work ("Unknown key pressed, Unknown key released"): What version of XS / XCP? Are you fully patched? XOA is on XCP-ng 7.6 which I installed 3 weeks ago and then updated with yum, so still up-to-date, I believe (not trying to update at the moment as I'm in a process of migrating and don't want any reloads/restarts of XCP-ng. VMs were on XenServer 6.2 updated with all patches available. Additional info: one of the Linux VMs which I tried to use XOA's console with, was already on XCP-ng 7.6 (the same as XOA) and here behaviour was different (but bad anyway): hitting Enter was giving newlines, AFAIR, but the console wasn't reacting on other keys. This may help -- https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xenserver-consoles/ Thanks. Though I'm not sure which keyboard layout the blog mentions... Of the browser (client)? Of the host with XOA? Of the host with the VM observed on the XOA's "console"?

    What you found is a pretty old and outdated thread, and conclusion is: It's not limited - and there's no real difference between 1 and 10GE. In case it's limited to protect mgmt-int, it would scale with 10GE, but in fact it doesn't.

    Use a single partition because this is a nice way to let cloud init grow the system disk if needed. I made a guide a while ago about doing this on a Debian, it's exactly the same principle: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/debian-cloud-template-for-xenserver/

    I ran into something VERY similar with XCP-ng and\or XOA a while back - ended up with close to 200 new "clients" showing up on my Meraki gear. They weren't even "connected" long enough to register as IP clients, only MAC clients (ARP, possibly). I didn't think much about it at the time, as both the MAC addresses and hardware information didn't seem to be tied to any actual device by some manufacturer. I may be able to pull those out from my client history... EDIT: Here is a small section of that list: [image: 1556589256050-fc439a0c96cb13a0b2b11b3bd80ff3be.png]

    To get assistance on XOA, since you have support, it's better to go with our support ticket system. This way, you can be sure to have an answer with direct developer access in a guaranteed amount of time. Please open a ticket here: https://support.vates.fr/#/tickets XOA isn't dealing on what's inside on the VM: it's an hypervisor-level agentless backup solution. As soon you create the ticket, we'll take a more in-depth look about details (what kind of backup are you using? Delta or full etc.) and also if there anything special we could do at our level.

    I don't know what's the /xen path? Install via this docker isn't the official/documented way, so it's hard to assist. Please try to build it according the doc and double check if reverse work as documented too. Otherwise, it's an issue of the Docker you use with our doc, so you'll better time to create an issue on the 3rd party "installer".

    It depends where you decided to install it (basically where you cloned to repo). Also remove the redis database if it's only used for XO.

    If you didn't, I strongly suggest that you watch the live YT webinar I did on XO backups. IIRC, there is a part talking about smart backup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUqIwT8KzI
