    Is there a function/feature in XO (I use 'from Sources) to create a new Windows VM from a Windows Template that allows you to create a new SID during the VM creation process similar to what VMware does? In VMW you can run a "customization specification" policy when creating a new VM from Template with various settings -> local admin password, IP assignment, domain name, VM name, run sysprep or create a new SID, windows licensing info. The idea of course is to not have a similar SID for the newly created cloned VM. It would be nice to auto-add it to AD as well like you can with VMware. If there is no such feature, are there plans to have something like this in a future XO release? Thanks.

    @ferrao Yes it is. At the end the task disappears unless there is an error / failure.

    Thanks for your feedback, we'll discuss internally if there's any other possible approach (and I'm not sure).

    Hello, I suggest you look also for Packer to build ready to use VM templates, with cloud-init, guest tools, and the softwares you'd need. There's a blog post for this https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2024/02/22/using-packer-with-xcp-ng/.

    Have you checked our guide to install Windows drivers? Check https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#windows If you still have issues, with your current XOA account in trial, you can open support tickets already so we can take a look remotely (https://support.vates.fr)

    It's a little different, but if in Xen Orchestra you go: Home => Hosts => <host> => Network there I can see my storage IP addresses comparable to that "IP Address Configuration" part. Except that here, all the networks are listed in the same list. Can you see if that's what you are looking for?

    Existing HA level is at VM level. It means, if the VM is down (or the host on the VM is running is down), it will be booted on a working host in that pool. For hyperconvergence, it's far from being a miracle solution. It costs a lot of thinking, planning and maintenance (and careful usage of it). Like HA in the end. So before asking for advanced features, it's good to think about what you really need.

    @olivierlambert Thanks, I tried running fstrim but it returned "the discard operation is not supported" on this NFS SR mount. I also tried running on SSD mounts which do support TRIM and they all returned the same message about "discard...not supported." The VM OS (CentOS 7.8) does support TRIM in kernel so not sure if xcp-ng or xenserver is the reason why the VM can't issue fstrim on the NFS SR mount or the SSD SR mounts.

    When you migrate a VDI to another SR, its UUID is changed. So it's like a "new VDI". However, there's an issue opened a while ago: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/2896 We did not have a priority on this because not a lot of people asked for it. I think it could be a good optional feature in a job. snimmerjahn created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed [Delta Backup] Avoid full export after VDI migrate #2896

    So far, I noticed this problem for three VMs. Each time I am trying to perform a backup with zstd compression through XO, the backup is marked as successful, but output XVA file is damaged (incomplete). The backup works fine for all other VMs, and I cannot pinpoint what is special about these faulty VMs.

    Hi, It failed because you changed the npm version manually. You can indeed re-deploy a fresh XOA, export the configuration and import it on the new one.

    I'm not against exposing this in the UI, it might be not that difficult. However, more traction will obviously make it possible

    In fact, there's 2 different things: Downloading and unpacking the updates (yum process). This won't change anything right now, because your current updated programs are likely running in memory (Xen, Linux, XAPI…) so only a reboot will make things changed: it's the current update button on the pool view. Evacuating the host, rebooting it to get all the new versions, and migrate back VMs to it (starting by the master) Right now, 1. need to be triggered manually (you must do it otherwise it won't happen: bad if you forgot) but everything else is managed at all hosts of the pool at the same time (good). And 2 is entirely manual. So that's why I wrote this, to get 1. and 2. entirely automated while being safe and giving you reports: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5286 I have hopes we can deliver a first version (at least from the CLI) for this month release olivierlambert created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra open Scheduled Rolling pool updates (with reports) for XCP-ng #5286

    There was a recent commit on Github dealing with NFS mounts. Suggest that you rebuild with the latest source and then try setting up the NFS storage again.
