    Did some more testing over the weekend and got some cleaner logs that are fully matched up. We ran the command 'journalctl -u xo-server -f -n 50' and see these to entries: Nov 15 14:26:10 xoa xo-server[552]: 2025-11-15T19:26:10.935Z xo:vmware-explorer:esxi INFO nbdkit logs of [WE-DS] WE-FS1/WE-FS1.vmdk are in /tmp/xo-serverGKTRzl Nov 15 14:26:10 xoa xo-server[552]: 2025-11-15T19:26:10.943Z xo:vmware-explorer:esxi INFO nbdkit logs of [WE-DS] WE-FS1/WE-FS1_1.vmdk are in /tmp/xo-serverCFf19t The log files were fairly large, wouldn't allow me to attach them, so i have provided them in a zip on dropbox if you want to take a look. From what I can pick out in the log files it appears that the transfer from VMware is complete or so it looks that way. After that I ran these two commands against the import tasks: xo-cli rest get tasks/0mi0ogg5f xo-cli rest get tasks/0mi0ogg5g The output for those is also attached. The one thing that stands out is in the "importing vms 17" is that WE-FS1.vmdk shows 'success' and WE-FS1_1.vmdk shows 'pending' Finally, I attached the logs from the host as well. I'm not seeing anything that jumps out at me as being wrong there either.

    Has anyone successfully passed through the igpu on this motherboard or something similar? I attempted it yesterday and tried to pass it through to a windows 11 vm, and after I install the drivers the vm just crashes. I passed through: 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Raphael (rev d8) 05:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Rembrandt Radeon High Definition Audio Controller 05:00.6 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller I would like to pass it though to try some Windows gaming. Specifically to play Fortnite with my son. I've seen posts where you have to extract rom files from bios, and wondering if anyone has already done it, and if its worth my time. Thought it might be fun to be able to use my XCP-NG server to play games, but it might just be easier to dual boot my current pc if its just not possible. Let me know if you have done it successfully, and if you need any additional info. Thanks, Joe

    The grub setup is rather simple and not very flexible. There's just one file to modify, as you found out (/etc/grub.cfg in BIOS mode, /etc/grub-efi.cfg in EFI mode, both being symbolic links to the actual file location). You can add an entry to it, but there's a small chance this doesn't play well with scripts from either XenServer or ourselves which may want to update the file and get confused. It's usually better to just modify the existing entries, ideally using /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline, so that the file structure remains unchanged.

    You need a fully up to date XO (check that first). If you are on XOA Free, you might need a trial (send me a private chat message with your email registered to this XOA, so I can unlock you the free trial). Alternatively, you can also use XO from the sources

    Just updating for anyone that has the same issue, we ended up just rebooting the master and like @JamuelStarkey said everything just automatically fell in place. Did have to exit maintenance mode on the master and replug the PBD but everything else went back to normal immediately. Still frustrating to experience and would really love to know what caused this. If there's any logs I can pull to figure this out do let me know @olivierlambert

    So I managed to get the VM to see both drives. In dmesg I can see something like this [ 1.160149] ahci 0000:00:08.0: AHCI 0001.0301 32 slots 1 ports 6 Gbps 0x20 impl SATA mode [ 1.161043] ahci 0000:00:08.0: flags: 64bit ncq sntf ilck led clo only pmp fbs pio slum part [ 1.187888] ahci 0000:00:09.0: SSS flag set, parallel bus scan disabled [ 2.186211] ahci 0000:00:09.0: controller reset failed (0xffffffff) [ 2.187307] ahci: probe of 0000:00:09.0 failed with error -5 So I removed the pci and did a rescan with root@mars-test-uefi:~# echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:09.0/remove root@mars-test-uefi:~# echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/rescan Now when I checked dmesg it shows up properly [ 795.538214] ahci 0000:00:09.0: AHCI 0001.0301 32 slots 1 ports 6 Gbps 0x4 impl SATA mode [ 795.538219] ahci 0000:00:09.0: flags: 64bit ncq sntf ilck led clo only pmp fbs pio slum part fdisk -l also shows up both drives now too root@mars-test-uefi:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 7.28 TiB, 8001563222016 bytes, 15628053168 sectors Disk model: ST8000DM004-2U91 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk /dev/sdb: 7.28 TiB, 8001563222016 bytes, 15628053168 sectors Disk model: WDC WD80EFZZ-68B Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes It seems like on boot it tries to find the device but it fails to, but on a remove/rescan it seems like its fine? The question now becomes, how do I make this work ON boot.

    Really, you should because it would have prevent you this situation in the first place, but also some other future questions or problem you might have That's one of the few capital rules in XCP-ng world. Your master must ALWAYS be more recent than the slaves (or at the same level obviously), otherwise slaves won't be able to connect. I think you really need some assistance on best practices and such, please contact us so we can assist more generally. If this basic requirement is not understand, you might have other/deeper issues.

    Any of the host: if they are in the same pool, that's logical. Only the master is needed to be reach. XAPI will probably be in "Starting state" as long as all SR aren't plugged. If you have the SR on a VM on another host than the master, reboot the master only, you should be able to connect sooner Alternatively, check https://docs.xcp-ng.org/troubleshooting/

    On this one VM yeah, all other VM's have been fine with the Citrix tools. I am not sure if the tools change anything on the VM level once installed, as the problem did continue after attaching a fresh blank virtual disk to the problem VM.

    How long have you waited for it? Like is it truly stuck or maybe just really slow to boot?
