@MajorP93 throw in multiple garbage collections during snap/desnap of backups on a XOSTOR SR, and these SR scans really get in the way

Create an appliance with all those VMs and configure the order and delay inside it.

@dinhngtu said in XCP-ng Windows PV tools announcements: @probain The canonical way is to check the product_id instead https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/windows/win_package_module.html#parameter-product_id The ProductCode changes every time a new version of XCP-ng Windows PV tools is released, and you can get it from each release's MSI: No problem... If you ever decide to have the .exe-file as a separate item. Not bundled within the zip-file. Then I would be even happier. But until then, thanks for everything!

@fred974 It used to be (and probably still is) that You have to be reasonably near correct time for NTP to accept any changes.

@Forza Thanks for the details, I managed to reproduce after a few trials. I'll try to fix it and keep you informed.

@Pilow Agreed however as our xcp-ng hosts are in the cloud with OVH Cloud we cannot use a physical appliance. We are currently setting up a dedicated OVH server for pfSense.

@gduperrey said in How to Install XCP-ng Guest Tools on Rocky Linux 10?: but I don't have a release date yet, even for testing Actually it's already available as xcp-ng-pv-tools in the xcp-ng-incoming repository. What Gaël means is that we haven't run CI on it yet, so we haven't moved the package to the testing repository yet, which is when we usually invite users to test. However here I'm able to say that there's no risk in installing it now for testing, with: yum update xcp-ng-pv-tools --enablerepo=xcp-ng-incoming,xcp-ng-ci,xcp-ng-testing,xcp-ng-candidates (the testing repos will only be enabled for the time of the command, not permanently)

Ah nice!

Yes, account aren't related

From another post I gathered that there is an auto-scan feature that run by default every 30 seconds which seems to cause a lot issue when the storage contains a lot of disks or you have a lot of storage. It is not completely clear if this auto-scan feature is actually necessary and to some customers Vates helpdesk has suggested to reduce the frequency of the scan from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and that seems to have improved the overall experience. The command would be this: xe host-param-set other-config:auto-scan-interval=120 uuid=<Host UUID> where UUID is the pool master UUID. Of course I won't run that in production without Vates support re-assurance that doing so it won't have a negative impact but I think is worth mentioning this. In my situation I can see how frequents scan would cause delay on the other tasks considering that effectively my system is always under scanning with probably the scan task itself being affected by it.

I confirm that this is the current behaviour, as @pilow reported here https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/99446 We might change it in the future to make it better, but it won't be trivial to change.

many thanks for your answer this seems to be common to other installation issue posts with Dell BOSS-N1, PERC H755, H965i ... and happens only starting from 8.3 LTS

@henri9813 yes thank you for correcting my message

@MajorP93 200gb free space was enough in my production system to cause this. The only thing I didn't try was filling it up until I found the point where it started working.

October release fixed it

We are in the process of commissioning a batch of R770 with this broadcom nic. @stormi , has a new installer been made available?

Hi Forza, Have you finished migrating the workloads? If you are still looking for an easy migration solution, you can try Vinchin Backup & Recovery. It will replace the driver during migration intelligently.

I hope someone will reply to my post here about how to check status on this but I believe I've resolved the main issue: I disabled and re-enabled the whole task itself yesterday and it ran this morning as scheduled.
