@DustinB said in Recommended DELL Hardware ?: Doesn't using non-shared storage ultimately cause the VM to be started on the other host? No. Live migration can occur between hosts even if: the VDI are located on non-shared storage the hosts are in completely different pools For the cross pool migration to succeed, both pools need to support a common instruction set. Otherwise, use the Warm Migration feature that does reboot the VM so that it is running the correct instruction set on the destination host.

@stormi Thank you so much. Only now getting around to setting up another set of R660s, will let you know how this works. Edit: worked beautifully on a new set of R660s. Using the old 20250606 ISO, the BCM57414 were not detected. The new ISO works as expected (BIOS install, did not attempt UEFI) and the NICs are all enumerated properly.

Thank you every visitors and for those who did not had the chance to visit fosdem check this report: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2026/02/19/fosdem-2026-follow-up/ [image: vates-xcp-ng-at-fosdem-2026-1.webp] One question, I promised to forward to the forum, how many VM are you running on XCP-ng ? Dozen, hundreds, thousands or more ?

I had same problem, about last 2 weeks, but is is about Xen update, after apply last update, Backup of Windows VMs works again.

Hello everyone ! I rebuild a new OME appliance with the latest version (4.6) Dell decided to give this appliance Proxmox, Nutanix and OpenShift compatibility, but no XCP-ng yet... If someone from Dell want to reach out about this, please contact me ! [image: 1771504614561-7f4cc1c1-90c4-4f30-94f8-cf109711cfd6-image-resized.png] What i did on the rebuild: Via live CD add xen-blkfront and xen-netfront driver, and rebuild the initrd change root password activate SSH. Via SSH sed -i -e 's/sda/xvda/g' /opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh sed -i -e 's/sda/xvda/g' /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_resources.sh bash /mnt/Linux/install.sh # To install XCP-ng tools As usual, please send a DM if you want the link to the VHD Feedback is welcome ! (Disclamer: This build is something I create on my free time and to help people who have difficulty running Dell appliances on XCP-ng. I do not guarantee a fully functional appliance, but I do my best to make it work. If you have a support contract with Dell and require official support for OME, please contact Dell and request compatibility with XCP-ng.)

Any news about issue?
