Memory usage is not showing up in XOA
-
You need to have the guest agent installed/working to get the memory
-
isn't that supposed to happen when you turn on Manage Citrix PV drivers via Windows Update?
.
If not ... can I install xcp-ng guest with the Manage Citrix PV drivers loaded? Thanks in advance.
-
This button won't install the management agent, just get the PV drivers updated via Windows Update. Can you scroll down and check the status of tools?

You need to install the management agent inside your VM (the Citrix one if you enable Windows PV update)
-
Do you have the actually link to share for me to get to the correct citrix agent I should be using on my xcp-ng install... I am using XOA of course. I am using xcp-ng 8.2.1
Thanks for your review and help so far.

nm, I found it on -

Management agent + device drivers
The only way to get the management agent is from Citrix. It can be freely downloaded from the Citrix Hypervisor download page (opens new window), provided you create an account on their site. Name of the item: "Citrix VM Tools for Windows". The installer will install both the management agent and the device drivers.
I do appreciate you help. Have a great day.

Indeed, that's the way to do it
Now you have the agent and the PV drivers will be automatically updated via Windows update
edit: and you also have the memory reported too
-
Sorry, One more question... So just to be clear.
is this the download for Windows Citrix VM Tools that we have been talking about to get:
That would be the one I would be using on my xcp-ng 8.2.1 system for the management agent.
Just check, check and double checking
Thanks again for your review and help.

Yes it's fine
What matters is to go either XCP tools OR Citrix, never both -
@olivierlambert That did the trick. Wanted to make sure to say thanks for your help. Thanks again! Hope you have a great day!
