@henri9813 the warm mode is more manual by XO, and it can replicate from almost any version to any version, or any CPU to any CPU
the direct migration has some precondition : always migrate to te same or superior version. Live migration also add some condition on the CPU brand and generation

RE: Unkown PCI device attached to VM
Hi @champagnecharly ,
On the XO side, it seems that this PCI has an empty string ID, which doesn't enable us to delete it.
We'll have to do some tests to find out how to prevent that.We might have trouble reproducing the issue, so would you mind helping us with the tests?
You would need to add this piece of code on filexo-server/dist/xapi-object-to-xo.mjsbefore the line that start withif (isHvm) {(that should be near line 475)if ((_vm$attachedPcis = vm.attachedPcis) !== null && _vm$attachedPcis !== void 0 && _vm$attachedPcis.includes('')) { warn('Empty string PCI id:', otherConfig.pci); }then restart xo-server and look at the output of
journalctl, there should be some lines looking like:2026-01-30T09:26:17.763Z xo:server:xapi-objects-to-xo WARN Empty string PCI id: -

Perfect, thanks.

RE: V5 works fine with XenServer 8.4, v6 doesnt work?
I don't understand what's happening.
Could you try installing directly from the xen-orchestra GitHub repository? This would help us determine if the problem is with theronivayinstallation script.
Could you also show us your xo server config? -
RE: vmware vm migration
@acebmxer yes after the first migration, XO knwo that the migration is incomplete and that you may want to finish it later. But if you start this VM direvtly , it will write some data, thus it won't be in sync anymore with the Vmware snapshot. Then XO won't be able to resume
You can start a copy of the VM ( XO will handle it for you ) and delete the copy when you're done
My advice is to migrate this VM to the right SR and then do the resume. But keep in mind that the V2V tool is intended to target only one SR, so migrate all they disk to the same SR, and select the right one when resuming the V2V. You can change the network after

RE: XO Backup [NOBAK] for full backups
@dave.opc it should work . Add [NoBak] to one disk, transfer it, then remove the [NoBak] on the 2nd , restart the transfer => the first one will only transfer a delta , while the second disk will be transfered as full . If you put [NBak] on the first one for the second transfer, it will be handled as a disk deleted and will remove it on the replica
Note you will have the same issue if ( when ) you'll need to do a full backup later on, for example if there are any replication issue, or if you want to ensure your base copy is not corrupted later on
