RE: Start backup for one single vmposted in Backup
Hi @rtjdamen
This should be doable usingxo-cli.
xo-cli backupNg.runJob id=<your-job-id> schedule=<your-schedule-id> vm=<your-vm-id> -
RE: Compressed backupsposted in Backup
@abudef
incremental backups on block storage are compressed with brotli in fastest mode. But this is enough to have a massive gain , since we compress all the zeroes.incremental backup ( *.vhd files ) on non block storage aren't compressed
Full backup (as in xva file ) aren't compressed by xo, but can be compressed by xcp ng ( using gzip or zstd )
for now, this is not configurable, we are waiting for the future remote form to handle this.

RE: ACL security issue with ansibleposted in Infrastructure as Code
@nickdsl This is a known limitation: at the moment, xo-server doesn’t filter objects based on permissions: permissions are currently applied during actions.
We’re actively working on resolving this in XO6 and the new REST API to improve overall functionality.

RE: What is the status/roadmap of V2V (Migrating from VMware to XCPng/XO) ?posted in Migrate to XCP-ng
@afk the newer VMFS put more lock on the files, locking the full chain of snapshot and base disks instead of locking only the active disk.
Even VMFS5 sometimes lock the full chain.
The more open storage is a NFS, that can additionally be accessed directly by XO, not going through the soap api , giving anice performance boost and not hammering the esxi too much ( only for the metadata )We don't intend to migrate the VM running in vmware from XO automatically. A user could script it though, by using a combination of the vmware apis and xo-cli.
We never succeed in getting the disks though NBD, but it should be possible ( https://github.com/vexxhost/migratekit/blob/main/internal/vmware_nbdkit/vmware_nbdkit.go#L91 ) and ( https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/8ed923df-bad4-49b3-b677-45bca5326e85/d2d90bb6-d1b3-4266-8ce5-443680187a9a/vim.vm.device.VirtualDevice.BackingInfo.html )
What we are mostly missing here, is internal knowledge on the Vmware side : how to get the NBD server address,how to authenticate and how to get the exportname of a disk through the soap API .Since we already have the knowledge of using NBD to read massive volume of data as long as we can connect.

RE: XO Proxy: Local remotes are disabled in proxiesposted in Backup
@chr1st0ph9 Local remotes are disabled by default for XO Proxies because they can be confusing: they are local to the XO Proxy itself and not the XOA they are defined in.
You can enable them by creating a config file on the XO Proxy Appliance,
/etc/xo-proxy/config.toml:[remotes] disableFileRemotes = false -
RE: "Xenserver 8" patchingposted in Xen Orchestra
@RS if you are using XO from source, you need to change your branch and rebuild XO
