@john.c Indeed, John, and I almost forgot that the backup network on each host was actually on a separate, isolated NIC, and not at all on the VLAN.

Wonderful !

@Emmanuel-V In my opinion, it would make more sense if a standalone disk exported in VMDK format were exported directly as monolithicSparse, so that it would not need to be converted. This makes more sense to me because when only the disk is exported, rather than the entire VM (OVA), it can be assumed that the disk will be attached directly to some VM.

Forwarded to the right team, thanks!

@stormi I am glad to hear there is progress, and I never doubted that there was interest and will from the Dev team, it was just stated, by Oliver himself, that the focus was mostly on the classic hypervisor features and that resources for edge cases were scarce. The numbers might not be spot on, but it was something similar.. Anyways I know you care and that the team always take interest in home-lab scenarios. And that, is why I keep recommending XCP-ng. You are good and motivated people, you care and interact with the community and you have a product that is simple in structure and free of most of the technical bureaucracy that the other ecosystems have. And yes, this particular Intel Arc issue, is not only on XCP-ng, The intel toolbox and drivers for this platform is currently a mess for Linux. And you are right to take home-labbers under your wing and prioritize it. As I'm sure you know, although it might not be of direct importance for revenue, they do have a huge impact on popularity. I dont think Proxmox would have had the traction it has, without them Thank you for replying, and thank you to the team for their hard work!

@lem2405 No problem. Let me know if you still encounter any issues.

@pierrebrunet Tested and working again, thanks

@poddingue Okay, we're back here. I was told I have a hung CIFS mount that no longer exists, so a host needs to reboot to clear it, and faulty XOSTOR resources. But I can't reboot the host until I can move VMs off. Is there any indication of how to repair the faulty XOSTOR resources so I can move the VMs and reboot the host? Thanks for taking a look.

@fohdeesha Hi all, I apologize that it's taken a while to get all the issues sorted, fixed and properly verified. I have pushed the corrected version up to my GitHub, and everything seems to be working much better (thanks to the efforts of everyone here)! A big shout out to all of you, as this is exactly how open source is supposed to work! Let me know if there are any other issues that arrise - and Happy Day to one and All!

@coolsport00 Sorry about the VMW need for the Cisco product. Sounds like you have a number of constraints, finances being I'm sure one of them! At least you have time on your hands and the means to experiment. You may, als, end up with a number of different platforms to meet your needs. We ran both Sun Microsystems and Red Hat Linux and Microsoft Windows servers, each taking on specific duties. It's far from ideal and probably not very cost-effective, but you do what you have to to get stuff to work.

@pierrebrunet Thanks for the update. So is there any way to run the reclaimSpace function (i.e from the XO CLI or something, without having to build a whole REST API application or whatever that involves)?

@FritzGerald Thanks! Running systemctl enable --now ups-driver.service got ups-driver.service going, then following the instructions you provided earlier got the rest of the two services running, even after a reboot. I'm now able to run upsc apc@localhost and get the correct output listing all the properties of the UPS even after a reboot.

@MathieuRA We reverted back to 6.8.2 for now. We can wait for patch, otherwise, I have opened a tunnel #38081.

Thanks a lot for your feeback, folks!

@poddingue said: Thanks for posting the fix. The same thing came up in an older thread, https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9957, where disabling IPv6 also made xoa check go green. @HamiltonWDS explained a likely reason in https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/87831: Node tries the addresses with a short timeout and can end up on the IPv6 one. Your curl -6 test helps a lot here, because it shows IPv6 doesn't connect at all on that network, so it's more than a slow path. Turning it off in XOA seems reasonable if you don't use IPv6 there; if you do, I'd guess the router side is where it really needs fixing, though I could be wrong (still haven't migrated to IPv6 myself ). Curious whether it sorts out the Cloud Backup too. XOA is using our management network where ipv6 is not needed and not enabled. Looks like our cloud backup finally ran for the first time in while too.[image: cloudbackup.jpg]

@ovicz Which exact version of XAPI do you have? If you have 26.1.19-1.1 from testing, you should be able to fix it by setting hvm-pirq=false using the instructions here: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/troubleshooting/common-problems/#pci-passthrough-error-unsupported-msi-delivery-mode-7

@poddingue Turns out it is all secondary-to-secondary out of sync. So that makes it less intense, though if primary dies I wonder how it will resolve this, or if it will become split brained. Still unsure of how it happened, but the ones I manually cleaned up have not come back. Going to continue to manually clear them up. If it happens again I will have an alert setup to notify me, and I have all the xcp-ng logs and everything to be able to see what happened. If that happens I will post here with details and logs for the resource so we can see how it occurs. [image: image.jpeg]

@poddingue This was fixed a number of weeks ago via a ticket. I believe @florent may know the exact fix.
