    @irtaza9 Is this on a single host or a pool? Are all hosts properly time-synchronized? It it related to just one specific storage device or on any, e.g., is the behavior the same on a locally-created SR? Are there any hung tasks causing unnecessary I/O on that storage device?

    @dknight-bg the Feeder post you linked asks for two things: sending audit events to syslog, which is what this PR does, and recording successful logins, which as far as I can tell the PR doesn't touch. If others reading this need either one, a vote on https://feedback.vates.tech/posts/88/audit-log-forward-events-to-remote-syslog-record-successful-logins is the easiest way to show it. The PR is still waiting for a reviewer, as far as I can see.

    Hi, @Velocity1192 . On v6 first: creating and editing backup jobs still happens in XO 5 for now, XO 6 shows the jobs but doesn't create them yet (https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backups-and-dr/backups-in-xo6). For the schedule, @abudef asked almost the same question earlier this year. @Pilow's answer there is clearer than anything I'd write: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/104108. As I read it, you either use one daily schedule plus the "Full backup interval" setting (the full lands N runs after the chain starts), or two schedules on the same job with "Force full backup" ticked on the Sunday one. That second way is how you get to pick the day, and he says not to mix the two. One thing to expect, from @Danp in another thread (https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/91943) : the oldest backup is always a full and old deltas get merged into it, so for a while you'll see two fulls on the remote rather than weeks 1 and 2 being deleted. I don't think the scheduler can say "every other Sunday". I might be wrong there; someone who runs this kind of plan may know a trick.

    For anyone else who steps through this, I've also installed the latest xen-guest-agent with the below process. Repeat for each host in the environment, 1 at a time from your Helper VM. ### ssh into your helper ### oc debug node/fedora-cmp-1/2/3 chroot /host cd /var/tmp curl -LO https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/6041686376/artifacts/raw/RPMS/x86_64/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm sudo rpm-ostree install /var/tmp/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm mkdir /var/tmp/xga && cd /var/tmp/xga rpm2cpio ../xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv ### From your helper... DRAIN YOUR WORKERS ### oc adm drain fedora-cmp-1/2/3 --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data ### log back into fedora-cmp-1/2/3... ### sudo systemctl reboot ### from helper ### oc adm uncordon fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### login to fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### chroot /host sudo systemctl enable --now xen-guest-agent And then from XO this is what your VMs will look like.

    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.

    There's no "community" version of XOA, there's only Xen Orchestra Are you sure you are on master? Have you tried with XOA?

    You can reattach the drive (in XO web UI or with xe by recreating the VBD: vbd-create vm-uuid=4aef7b34-2e7e-53c5-62e3-331be8151287 vdi-uuid=193f9105-e23c-4fe7-a8ae-40bed37ede4e device=0). Then try to boot the VM.

    @kevdog said in HTTP to HTTPS redirection: @nikade Hey thanks for for the link. I ended up just using a LetsEncrypt cert rather than self signed. I think had to add a DNS host override on my router to associate the Local LAN address of the xo server with the domain name of the server contained in the certificate -- Like 10.0.1.50 ---> xo.example.com. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on this one. Yeah that is a good solution as well, I hope this helps others in the future who wants to secure their XO with https

    @eangulus You can always create a CLUSTER with shares storage. Problem solved. It is even possible to create cluster using two nodes - using HA-Lizard.

    @olivierlambert One question to the additional added resource. I have added my cloudbackup server via VPN and NFS share to XOA. This works well, but I see that the local backup on the NAS is throttled down to the speed of the VPN upload tunneln. Is this behaviour correct? You know from the other Post, that I have struggels with the "cloudbackup" server. So if the transfer to the VPN-NFS share is interrupted also the transfer to the local NAS fails. Is it possible to add two daily (or every second day alternating) delta backup-jobs for a single vm? One saves the backup to local NAS and the other one to the vpn nfs share? Will the chains be consistent? Thank you for your advice, dmartini1337

    +1 for avoiding 3rd party install scripts, the official install doc is like, 10 commands? I think it takes maybe 10 minutes or less the last time I did it on a fresh debian system, and you know it's always the correct instructions (which is NOT the case with 3rd party scripts, as you'll see in this forum when even the slightest architectural change is made to the XO sources). You also get to learn at least a little bit about the architecture of what you're installing and running instead of pressing go on a script you grabbed from some guy's github and hoping the XO web interface appears. I thought the whole point of "homelab" (for which sources are intended and primarily used) was learning and developing skills in the first place? No disrespect intended to the people that create and maintain said scripts, it just seems to me like it bypasses the point of sources a little bit
