    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 ?

    If i recall from my migration I belive thats all there is to it. I know the docs mention about doing a test migration but mine just migrated and it just worked as you stated after making the needed adjustments. Let other chime in but i think you are good to go. And you could delete the snapshot from the vm.

    @yllar Hello, We are still validating the ISOs, but we are getting closer to releasing them. We hope to make them available soon.

    @benapetr Good news, seems like the latest version for SM will implement vdi_revert which should work nicely with Ceph RBD. The only thing now is to have the newer Ceph kernel drivers in XCP-ng since the current driver is very old... (v12 I believe, we're now at v20, soon v22)

    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...

    I'm not aware of such problem it's like the VM was kept in limbo. You did the right thing with your commands.

    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?

    Thanks for your feedback. In the meantime, I will plan a "spike" to investigate the status of USB speed on passthrough.

    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)

    We are now live again with all the VMs - which is a relief. The above steps from @stormi were great, the one thing I notced was the /etc/stunnel/certs directory didn't exist. I created that manually and everything else seemed happy. I did have to mess about a bit with the fibre NICs, but I've repeated the previous renaming and that's now running fine. Thanks very much for all the help - I appreciate it.
