@florent Thanks, if there is something I need to do to coalesce the vdis to avoid disaster, that would be good to understand. I had been thinking it was just an XO issue that would not affect running vms and their vdis.

Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

@vanny you can say you are working for Vinchin, I prefer when it's clearly told

That's very interesting, let me make sure @florent got this

Instruction published: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/sdn_controller#openssl-3--sdn-upgrade-path Any volunteer to test this along upcoming XCP-ng update ?

@benapetr said in Import from VMware err: name: AssertionError: Expected "actual" to be strictly unequal to: undefined: Hello, since this never had a clear resolution, here is explanation of the bug and why it happens: There is a bug in disk iteration in that XO vmware plugin (somewhere in that esxi.mjs I don't remember exact location) - it basically expects that all disks of VM exist in same datastore and if they don't it crashes as the next disk in unexpectedly missing (undefined) Workaround is rather simple - select the VM in vmware, migrate -> storage, disable DRS (important) and then select any DS that no disks current exist on. If you select and DS that is already used by same VM it will sometimes not get fixed! It also may happen even if VM is "apparently" looking like it's on single DS, even if it reports as such, still try to migrate it to another DS, and disable DRS so that really all files, even meta files are in same directory. Then run XO import again, it will magically work. thanks you for the input we were under the assumption that all the disk of a VM are in the same datastore the fix should be too hard now that you did the hard work edit: card created in our backlog, I will take a look after the release to see how hard it is to implement

@MichaelCropper Truenas on bare metal just as storage, XCP-NG is also bare metal on 3 hosts to make a pool. That's the minimum if you want to enable High Availability, it also works really well as a "normal" pool which is what I have. Rolling Pool functions are great, click the button and the system moves the VMS off of the host that need updates, reboots, moves VMs off of the next host, repeat. Only works with Shared storage.

If they can get Doom to run on a female healthcare product, I think we should work to get XCP-ng to work on said same product.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1gcoyo5Ssk haha...

Hello @Austin.Payne, I wanted to share my experience. I had similar issues through multiple XO versions. However, after learning that health checks rely on the management port I did some more digging. TL;DR it was a network configuration, and not an XO or XCPNG problem. If you have a multi-nic setup and you have XO as a VM on your XCPNG host, I would recommend that whatever network you use for management is on the same NIC. Setup: XO is a VM on XCPNG Host (only one host in pool). Network setup: eth0 = 1GB NIC = Management interface for XCPNG host (192.168.0.0/24 network) eth1 = 10GB DAC = NIC for 192.168.0.0/24 network to pass through VMs (XO uses this NIC) eth1.200 = 10GB DAC = VLAN 200 on eth1 NIC for storage network (10.10.200.0/28). Both the XCPNG host and VMs (including XO VM) use this. IP setup: XCPNG host = 192.168.0.201 on eth0; 10.10.200.1 on eth1.200 XO VM = 192.168.0.202 on eth1; 10.10.200.2 on eth1.200 Remote NAS for backups = Different computer on 10.10.200.0/28 network In this setup, backups would always finish, but health checks would hang indefinitely. However, after changing the XCPNG host to use eth1 for the management interface instead of eth0, health checks starting passing flawlessly. I am not sure if the problem was having the XCPNG host connecting to the same network with two different NICs or if eth1 was the better NIC thus was more reliable during the health check (could also explain why backups would always succeed). It's also possible it was switch related. In this setup, eth0 was connected to a Cisco switch and eth1/eth1.200 was connected to a MIkroTIk switch. Again, not sure what actually solved it, but consolidating everything to a single NIC solved the issue for me (and physically unplugging eth0 after the eth1 consolidation). Hopefully sharing my experience helps solve this issue for you.

Hello, I have hardware issues, specially on the disks. Unfortunately I don't have fully access to the machine to be able to confirm if is effectively disks( more likely ) or back-plane. Interestingly some of those VMs does work, I can boot them and work with them but cannot copy the disks. Since those are Windows server VM I have also tried the Windows backup tool and this failed as well to perform to finish the backup. So I'm closing this investigation as hardware issue.

Hi, does anyone have any tips regarding getting the serial port to show up in xcp-ng? I imagine this normally should just work.. I am not sure why it doesnt show up in xcp-ng, while it shows enabled in the bios?
