No worries, always good to have feedback

@DustinB Here is the backup job configuration: [image: 1743536286372-0459c49d-0b84-4585-9bb8-e3c79bac771b-image.png] [image: 1743536250474-6c3f31b2-aeb7-4d96-b441-3248af6f27a2-image.png]

@nuentes For reference, the “PCI Passthrough” that was referenced involves buying a USB PCI card, and passing the card through. If you need any help getting the script up, just respond here and I’ll do what I can to help. My comments in the script arent immaculate

@nathanael-h thanks for info i used https://github.com/ddelnano/packer-plugin-xenserver but because of lack of ssh key support i changed the code a bit. now i can use ssh keys. (not ready for a PR) my problem is that inside the auto iso i use a shell script doing a reboot within the install. the reason is that i use this iso also on bare metal installations, some software i cant install without doing a reboot. i will now focus on the ansible integratian an fire the commands after the reboot using ansible. this might work. br Mark

Also post VGA being disabled, it does seem better.

@GTwannabe I assume he means using PCI passthrough for the USB port/controller so HA has direct access to that level of the hardware to circle around some USB passthrough problems. In my case this did not helped with the ConBee, but you might try it anyway and it is no problem to reboot the host which is needed to activate the PCI passthrough Another pro for switching to an IP based controller is that you can backup and migrate the VM without any problem.

Excellent news! Keep us posted

@jasonnix Update to nodejs 22.x. It should be good for a while. Nodejs 24 will be out soon but not required yet.

@TeddyAstie I ran iperf3 tests between two VMs on Xeon E5-2680v2 and average results were within 2% of each other with the patch being slower. Peak speed was 14.5 vs. 13.7 Gbits/sec.

@2planks said in NIC not working on new HPE DL360 Gen11: Has this issue happened before? I don't remember such an issue on this hardware. Can you share the outputs of lspci -v, lsmod, dmesg, and dmidecode?

@olivierlambert Ah, ok...thanks, but I'm not using the appliance; I installed XO via source.

On it. Thanks

@olivierlambert I did reboot the system. The fact that I can access everything fine with the using the external url but not when I try to use the local IP address of the machine is strange. I'm at work currently but I'm going to do a deeper dive when I get home and search through everything in my home network. I just don't know what else to check.

@yzgulec said in How to deploy XO on ESXi: I just used VMware Converter for V2V (seems more practical for me) Installing from Source or using an installation script from the community is also very straight-forwards. Maybe 10 minutes worth of setup for the OS and then for at least my github it's a single line installation.

@dinhngtu Hi everyone, Thank you all so much for your help and suggestions. After several tests, I’ve decided to stop troubleshooting and stick with Windows 10 in BIOS mode. UEFI doesn’t work properly for me, whether with Windows 10 or 11, but everything runs fine in BIOS mode. I really appreciate the time and support from this great community!

Looks to be correct on the current release of XO from Source and reads as "Prevent Migration"

@Nevering We used to offer a “hosted Vates Stack” service, but right now we’re rethinking that and don’t have anything "official" to share just yet (though you might wanna keep an eye on our newsletter ). In the meantime, here are two easy options: Head over to our Partner Locator and use the filters to find a CSP (Cloud Service Provider) — some MSPs also offer hosted setups. Shoot us a message at partners@vates.tech or via our Contact Form, and we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction.

@vmpr the oldest one is always a full a delta is the difference between this backup and the previous, thus we need You could do infinite delta, without making full, but this comes with a risk : if anything goes wrong ( on backup or storage) , you'll lose the full backup chain Would it be possible to store a shorter chain here , and use a mirror backup to do longer retention on a cheaper storage ?
