    @anthoineb, We checked both SMlog and xensource.log for the two latest incidents on hypervisor 172.30.50.181. There was no VM or storage pause/unpause operation before either stall. The only matching pause/unpause pairs were part of our later forced VM.hard_reboot: 2026-08-19, VM 172.30.52.185: stall confirmed around 20:24; pause at 20:36:37 and unpause at 20:38:12. 2026-08-20, VM 172.30.52.182: stall confirmed around 20:24; pause at 20:30:07 and unpause at 20:31:26. The first related VDI operations in SMlog were also the vdi_deactivate actions initiated by those reboots. Therefore, we do not see a pause/unpause immediately before or at the onset of either lock.

    The same as @john.c and also XO Lite tends to be less a priority because less critical than the full fledged XO (the priority is to replace entirely XO 5 in the next releases). Why you would need XO Lite outside basic actions? It's mostly meant to bootstrap XO itself and do basic operations (which is already the case, at least with many basic features already). Initially, the goal hasn't moved: replacing XenCenter. We are moving in that direction, but again, I think it's more important to get XO 6 finished first. I'm curious to understand more the use case of XO Lite in your context @unreal-shizzle ?

    @olivierlambert I'm not sure what I'm looking for in the XCP logs, and these are busy hypervisors so fishing stuff out is difficult. I'm gonna build a new machine that's not doing anything else and try and get a clearer view.

    Yes. I removed pci=nomsi entry from grub. I've tested on a Debian Forky and CentOS Stream 10 VMs with gnome and an intel alderlake igpu passthrough no issues at all.

    Thanks for letting us know, and I'm happy you have thing working nicely now. I think to mark this as resolved you need to convert your original post as a question, and it can then be marked as resolved. I actually cannot do it myself, I think only a few people have the permission to do it for others at Vates.

    @olivierlambert I resolved it, logged in the XCP-ng console and set the NTP servers to default. All good now. Thanks [image: 1733066154172-xcp-ntp2.png]

    Preferably after, since the PV drivers contain some VM-specific settings that may be wiped by Sysprep.

    @dinhngtu said in Issues with XCP-ng Windows PV Tools 9.0.9000.0 Testsign Pre-release: With 9.0.9000.0, you could sometimes run into this issue if you reboot too early after installing. This will also be fixed in the next release. I just did two more tests and the boot-up failure happened both times. On the last test I waited some time (like 30 to 60 sec) after the driver installation before rebooting (using Windows restart from the start menu). Even though I waited before rebooting I still encountered the boot-up problem: Windows is spinning on this screen and doesn't finish booting: [image: 1732291273907-ef30a370-5897-41e6-a0f1-41fa3720dacb-image.png]

    I wasn't aware of this plugin even existing (thanks for the discovery). I'm not sure it's really maintained, but we have a clear goal of getting one officially maintained anyway.

    @olivierlambert Which one, powershell or WAC. They are kind of one in the same when you look at how WAC makes the calls to do the work, there's a button to reveal the powershell behind the button clicks so you might be able to get both at once. But WAC draws nice graphs and gives us a GUI to get the work done. Yes I know, real Admins don't use GUI. Whatever, AI will eat our jobs anyway, just trying to stick it out another 9 years at this point. When I get time, I'll still probably take a swing at this task for WAC, because to me this would be valuable. Big learning curve though. Now if MS would finally add Group Policy to WAC and fix some of the DHCP and DNS features that are still in preview...

    Hello, I've tried benchmarking several Windows VMs from another client and am getting expected performance: Read: .\diskspd.exe -c1G -d10 -Su -Sw g:\data.dat Write: .\diskspd.exe -c1G -d10 -Su -Sw -w100 g:\data.dat Windows Server 2022: Read IO thread | bytes | I/Os | MiB/s | I/O per s | file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 | 1151533056 | 17571 | 109.72 | 1755.53 | g:\data.dat (1GiB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ total: 1151533056 | 17571 | 109.72 | 1755.53 Write IO thread | bytes | I/Os | MiB/s | I/O per s | file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 | 966000640 | 14740 | 92.12 | 1473.98 | g:\data.dat (1GiB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ total: 966000640 | 14740 | 92.12 | 1473.98 Windows 11 24H2 (with Eset): Read IO thread | bytes | I/Os | MiB/s | I/O per s | file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 | 1100283904 | 16789 | 104.81 | 1677.01 | g:\data.dat (1GiB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ total: 1100283904 | 16789 | 104.81 | 1677.01 Write IO thread | bytes | I/Os | MiB/s | I/O per s | file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 | 931594240 | 14215 | 88.82 | 1421.07 | g:\data.dat (1GiB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ total: 931594240 | 14215 | 88.82 | 1421.07 Several questions: Are you running benchmarks on a separate virtual disk? If not, could you try again using a share created from a separate virtual disk? Could you run CrystalDiskMark locally on these VMs and see the performance? You mentioned that Eset security takes up 100% CPU during the benchmark. Could you try temporarily uninstalling Eset and testing again?

    Yes, you can use XO webhooks (IIRC) to trigger something before or after a backup and send the request to a custom agent you made inside the VM. But I'm not sure to get it, can you provide what do you want to achieve, not the technical solution (script VM backup is already a solution, not the problem you are trying to solve)

    2 times the charm I have no idea why it failed initially, but at least you tested the magic rollback As you can see, it's really a GREAT feature
