    @redakula said in Coral TPU PCI Passthrough: Frigate.nvr which is one of the popular uses for the Coral do not recommend it for new installs either. Frigate updated their recommendations because of the Google decision to sunset the device and because there are alternative options available to frigate for image inferencing. The coral is still supported though, and frigate is not the only use case or platform that can benefit from an accelerator. At the end of the day if you've already got the hardware, and it's efficient enough to run, then not using it is a waste or resources that could be allocated to other VMs.

    It's not meant to be used like that. If you are behind a NAT, the right approach is to have your XOA behind the NAT and inside the same network than the hosts. That's because hosts will always use and return their internal IPs to connect to some resources (stats, consoles etc.). XOA deals with that easily as being the "main control point" for all hosts behind your NAT (or a XO proxy if you prefer).

    @benapetr said in Import from VMware err: name: AssertionError: Expected "actual" to be strictly unequal to: undefined: Hello, since this never had a clear resolution, here is explanation of the bug and why it happens: There is a bug in disk iteration in that XO vmware plugin (somewhere in that esxi.mjs I don't remember exact location) - it basically expects that all disks of VM exist in same datastore and if they don't it crashes as the next disk in unexpectedly missing (undefined) Workaround is rather simple - select the VM in vmware, migrate -> storage, disable DRS (important) and then select any DS that no disks current exist on. If you select and DS that is already used by same VM it will sometimes not get fixed! It also may happen even if VM is "apparently" looking like it's on single DS, even if it reports as such, still try to migrate it to another DS, and disable DRS so that really all files, even meta files are in same directory. Then run XO import again, it will magically work. thanks you for the input we were under the assumption that all the disk of a VM are in the same datastore the fix should be too hard now that you did the hard work edit: card created in our backlog, I will take a look after the release to see how hard it is to implement

    Hi, does anyone have any tips regarding getting the serial port to show up in xcp-ng? I imagine this normally should just work.. I am not sure why it doesnt show up in xcp-ng, while it shows enabled in the bios?

    @Tristis-Oris yes it is likely you're using a newer kernel, we likely need to rebuild the agent using a newer version of the netlink crate.

    @bloodyskullz If you still see the old ISO SR, the easiest way to migrate is simply by creating a new one and migrate the ISOs through XO to the new one. In regards to deletion of the old SR you need to check if it really is mapped to another drive or if the mapping was not working and it filled / if so, you might not be able to delete it

    @bleader said in update via yum or via xoa?: yes you're basically doing an RPU manually. But it is indeed odd that the process is stuck at 0%, it should be fairly fast to do the install patches, no errors in the logs? i've another install all patches and install all. Now i'll use rpm update and see if speed is the same or not

    @Danp Yes to both. I've probably restarted the toolstack at least a dozen times, mostly to clear hung tasks. I did notice some weird issues with a secondary SR being disconnected on xcp02, (one of 10 hosts, 9 after I ejected and forgot xcp01), but there's no disks on it. It wasn't being used for anything at all (yet), and it's fine on all the rest. That does lead me to think maybe it was a power bump that rebooted a switch or something though. Maybe it caused some kind of hangup with xcp01 and xcp02, and since xcp01 was the pool master, it cascaded to the other issues I've seen? Could that cause the VM's that were originally running on xcp02 to die and not be able to be recovered easily?

    No, from the XCP-ng point of view, the VM is still running without any interruption.

    @NerdsOrder66 Ah, good question... My most recent environment included a Windows Server with 100+ RDP users. There wasn't anything special for optimization there aside from giving it a bunch of RAM/CPU resources, but YMMV.

    @olivierlambert No, the only thing I get with xl dmesg on the host, for some time back, are random brief reports of individual CPUs running above temperature threshold and then being clocked down, and then resolving. Nothing else.

    Indeed, but it's a bit old, and I would say for many reasons HVM with PV drivers is still the way to go for classical server virtualization mode
