    That's why XO proxies are great and the go-to solution Alternatively, you can deploy an XO inside the target network and manage your hosts from there (but you won't have the unique central console with one XO+proxies for the entire infrastructure)

    @cairoti you should be able to add it as a remote ( not as a storage repository on xcp-ng)

    Keys or values from a GET should be usable in a POST. @bryonadams I understand your point of view and the reasoning behind it. However, it’s not always an absolute rule that every field returned by a GET endpoint can be passed back to a POST (or PUT). In this case, the API error message you received clearly indicates that these parameters are “excess properties not allowed”, meaning they cannot be used as input parameters. Indeed, it also seems you’re not running the latest version of XO. Could you please check again? You should be getting the recent REST API updates: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/8798 We’re currently in the process of migrating from the old REST API to the new one, so for now Swagger remains the single source of truth. As @olivierlambert mentioned, we plan to provide direct access to it from XO-6, and we’ve been communicating about this in our blog posts.

    Hi, thank you for the example! We will take a look. It could be a good idea to have a dedicated documentation/web page with usage examples of 'DevOps' tools

    Cloud configs allow {{name}}% substitutions. From my perspective (as a user), for how {{name}} is used in my cloud configs something like {{address}} would be identical. What is the intended use case for the IPAM functionality in XOA if it can't be used like this? Real question, not trolling

    Also note the text at the top of your screenshot: to continue you need to select a boot device. There might be a way in that menu (or partition creation submenu) to mark that created partition as bootable, or maybe you just need to highlight/select the partition under "used devices" before hitting "done"

    I would like some examples too. My latest (first) try gives me: alfcruz-adm@local.hcpa.ufrgs.br@volt-ampere:~/packer-plugin-xenserver$ packer build ./ubuntu-2004.pkr.hcl xenserver-iso.ubuntu-2004: output will be in this color.

    @encryptblockr hope to try the same with their even smaller "CORE" images. There is not an .OVA download but .xz downloads that when expanded have .img . https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64.img.xz and https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/22/stable/current/ubuntu-core-22-amd64+intel-iot.img.xz cloud-init seems to require experimentation and these small images boot quickly for me. Are you then following Fohdeesha's instructions?

    File Restore Fails

    @NeilGrevitt Whilst migrating my other backups to NFS, I noticed that one of the VM backups is able to perform file restores successfully. The successful VM is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, but has been upgraded multiple times and was originally a flavour of 18.x LTS somewhere along it's life. The unsuccessful VM is Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS that I believe was installed at this version. The only difference I can see is the output of lvscan, which does point to an issue with LVM! Successful VM: :~$ sudo lvscan :~$ Unsuccesful VM: :~$ sudo lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv' [<19.00 GiB] inherit Not sure where to go now but thought it worth reporting!

    @mauzilla Just an FYI, I have not tested the latest Scale 22.12 RC1 for performance but the previous versions of scale under some conditions was quite a bit slower. I have a video covering this topic here with the benchmarks and methodology used for testing. https://youtu.be/BoiHHnBDg0E

    Thanks all for your comments. I've managed to overcome the NFS errors listed, by using the new "multiple data blocks" setting! So for me, looks like backing up to .vhd won't work on either SMB or NFS.

    You can "reset" delta on an CR on two methods ( I use the firs one ) : Set number of full backup interval, under Advanced settings (left down). And can be predicted as fallow Reset = full backup interval / number of delta per day. So for 4 deltas per day Reset = 21/4 = 5 rest 1, reset will be on day 6 on first backup. [image: 1668752674017-e6f37d80-9c7d-4d16-bdea-903612fc251e-image.png] [image: 1668752712035-9eb6c381-a130-4d27-9e10-cd441338c666-image.png] Or on schedule on Replication retention [image: 1668753256557-6ac7be5a-b462-4e57-89cf-f58f20e4a4b4-image.png] Force full backup is to force full backup on next run
