    Hello @olivierlambert, @bastien-nollet, Hello Everyone !! I used vhd-cli with its new arguments and it worked ok. vhd-cli check --chain 'file:///run/xo-server/mounts/11934fec-f3a1-4f7f-a78d-00eeb1b39654?useVhdDirectory=true&encryptionKey=%22O1xt1ZTRE%5Qq%3X%3D1NZ%26%3ZZQo8%2DD%29s5xt%3OOko%22' 'xo-vm-backups/abc3e130-923e-619e-4fdc-59bcda088586/vdis/cecc4489-722a-4f79-b5e6-c050f63f2761/d489173c-028a-46f0-b712-f4a7c5594c8f/20260108T160552Z.alias.vhd' ok: xo-vm-backups/abc3e130-923e-619e-4fdc-59bcda088586/vdis/cecc4489-722a-4f79-b5e6-c050f63f2761/d489173c-028a-46f0-b712-f4a7c5594c8f/20260108T160552Z.alias.vhd But I discovered that using vhd-cli in this way only checks the physical structure of the alias.vhd file. It doesn't check the integrity of the blocks or the total number of blocks to detect a missing block. (It doesn't work like it does with huge monolithic .vhd files, where it detects errors with the slightest modification.) So I opted to split the solution: I check the integrity of the filesystem where the files are stored (using btrfs scrub). I verify that the number of blocks written in the backup is correct (that no blocks are missing). I verify that the written blocks haven't been modified since they were written. For point 2, I found (AI) that I could use "vhd-cli info" to find out the total number of blocks in the backup (I don't have much information about it), but when I run it, I get the following error. I suspect it doesn't work with (Encrypt all new data sent to this remote): vhd-cli info --chain 'file:///run/xo-server/mounts/11934fec-f3a1-4f7f-a78d-00eeb1b39654?useVhdDirectory=true&encryptionKey=%22O1xt1ZTRE%5Qq%3X%3D1NZ%26%3ZZQo8%2DD%29s5xt%3OOko%22' 'xo-vm-backups/abc3e130-923e-619e-4fdc-59bcda088586/vdis/cecc4489-722a-4f79-b5e 6-c050f63f2761/d489173c-028a-46f0-b712-f4a7c5594c8f/20260108T160552Z.alias.vhd' ✖ Unhandled remote type Error: Unhandled remote type at getHandler (/usr/lib/node_modules/vhd-cli/node_modules/@xen-orchestra/fs/dist/index.js:48:11) at getSyncedHandler (/usr/lib/node_modules/vhd-cli/node_modules/@xen-orchestra/fs/dist/index.js:54:19) at Object.info (/usr/lib/node_modules/vhd-cli/commands/info.js:98:24) at Object.runCommand (/usr/lib/node_modules/vhd-cli/index.js:32:13) at /usr/lib/node_modules/vhd-cli/node_modules/exec-promise/index.js:57:13 at new Promise (<anonymous>) at execPromise (/usr/lib/node_modules/vhd-cli/node_modules/exec-promise/index.js:56:10) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/vhd-cli/index.js:41:1) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1706:14) at Object..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1839:10) Could you please help me with this?

    @florent, I had to do the same for Xen Orchestra Community Edition. In my case, config.toml already contained the [authentication] section, so adding a separate config.tokenValidity.toml file did not work. Instead, I had to modify the existing config.toml located at /opt/xo/xo-server. In my opinion, it is best to keep defaultTokenValidity set to 30 days as a fallback in case no value is specified. You can then simply increase maxTokenValidity to the duration you prefer. [authentication] defaultTokenValidity = '30 days' # default value of 0.5 years # comment out and increase to 5 years #maxTokenValidity = ' 0.5 year' maxTokenValidity = '5 year'

    Hi, We stumbled upon what I would call a lack of check.. or a bug ? You can create a VDI of a VM in an ISO shared SR... We did it unexpectedly. .rpc("disk.create", { name, size, sr, vm: vm.id, bootable: false, mode: "RW", }) disk.create name=<string> size=<integer|string> sr=<string> [vm=<string>] [bootable=<boolean>] [mode=<string>] [position=<string>] create a new disk on a SR this is permitted, it should not ? it was a 50Gb CIFS ISO SR, and we could create a 100GB VDI, appearing as a 100GB .img file in the SR [image: 1767881811655-69b097b3-9c28-4b97-982a-34443a199bf1-image.png] [image: 1767881827248-58d0ca02-d1be-4d49-a4bd-c90f3f4fe463-image.png] totally broken UI [image: 1767881852362-7ff52851-90b6-4845-90cd-f5190feabcbc-image.png] in DISK tab of the VM : [image: 1767881880851-62f582ab-afa7-4c29-bbd6-e83b1a73fab5-image.png] and it is really an ISO SR ! [image: 1767881925549-66fb75a7-f783-4809-ace9-e83e20722ebd-image.png] should this not be prevented ?

    @Danp No, I haven't as I never use non-LTS servers from Ubuntu, and most software and guides asks for LTS. I might test it later with 19.04 but my posting here was more for the sake of others as I imagine that I'm not the only one that has experienced this on Ubuntu so when I figured out that it works in Debian I figured others could get some help too. It might also point the developers in the right direction if they wish to look into this, I don't know how many users there are that have got this problem but at least there are some of us so it might be something to look at if not at least there is a posted alternative. Most would not change OS if all guides tell them that Ubuntu works so this was more meant as a PSA if nothing else.

    It's Javascript, so there's no really mandatory tools: Any text editor supporting editor config for basic rules formatting is a good start A GitHub account Same recommendation for the dev env than running XO from the sources: NodeJS 8 and yarn That's pretty much it.

    @cg it works on restored VMs from pre-fix backups. I haven't tested post fix backups yet. However, it also works on newly installed VMs.

    Hi! The new standard way to import is here: https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/xoa Let me know if you have any issue. It's still in beta yet, and we got one small issue to fix (it won't fetch the XO username/password, so it's still admin@admin.net / admin)

    Technically everything is possible (even adding disk) but not with the XOSAN UI. If you want more flexibility, I suggest you wait for XOSANv2.

    Advanced tab of the VM view, "Start on…" button. Cross server private network will be a Xen Orchestra plugin for our next release.

    That's normal. If you boot the replicated VMs, then blocks will be changed. It mean no further delta replication will work on this VM. Force boot it if you lost the original VM and you don't care about delta toward the copy anymore. If you just want to test the VM without doing a new full (breaking the delta chain), boot with a copy. I think I explained that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUqIwT8KzI That's a display glitch.

    It's everytime a XAPI plugin is called. Eg the update plugin is called regularly and there is other plugins. So it's OK
