    As an observation ; I'm going to draw attention to @majorp93's point about rebooting the servers after ALL nodes have been upgraded. Historically we would move all VMs off master, upgrade master, restart its toolstack, then reboot master, then move VMs from Node 1 to master so we could begin the upgrade on Node1. Normally works ok but last time around it caused all sorts of problems. Previously it had felt right to upgrade master in its entirety including the reboot before moving on to the next host and rinse, repeat - but this cost us a lot of time, corruptions and pain. TLDR: Perhaps add a footnote to the docs that when upgrading a pool the reboots should take place as a final step across the pool only after all nodes have been updated.

    Hey @Andrew, thanks very much for looking that up and providing the suggestions! Re. option 2: it's possible to just hide the T600 from dom0 and remove the R9 270 from the machine? dom0 won't complain that it's missing a GPU, or take control of the only GPU in the system?

    @florent , I tried the option of running "vhd-cli raw alias.vhd /dev/null". I was reading that vhd-cli raw copies the entire VM disk from the backup to /dev/null, reading the incremental backup file and the parent backup. But something seems off here. The VM disk in the backup has 133GB of block files within /data. And when I ran the tool, it took 7 seconds. The backup is on a USB hard drive (HDD), so I suspect the read speeds aren't higher than 30-60MB/s. Just reading all the blocks should take at least 40 minutes. Did I misunderstand how vhd-cli raw works? Tank you for your attention.

    Yes but why it works with some and not others. I suspect the firmware version in the NIC itself.

    @Danp To answer your earlier question about the state of the patched hosts, three hosts are currently fully patched with one of them as the current pool master. I've tried to promote both of the other two with the same "Cannot restore" error. For the sake of completeness I just tried promoting one of the non-patched hosts. Same error. And I'm still unable to deploy a new VM ("NOT_SUPPORTED_DURING_UPGRADE").

    @fcgo if the storage is shared : the export is done by one of the host of the pool If the storage is not the export is done by the host with the storage . Same for the host receiving the data The command channel, as you said, is always the master to the xoa (and eventually xo-proxy) So for a replication : [source SR] => source host =https export call=> xoa / xo-proxy =https import call=> target host => [target SR] if the xoa is running on the host doing an export, it does not use the physical network the network use between the host and SR is dependent on the storage used

    @rtjdamen hey there, did you ever modify in the POOL advanced tab at the bottom the BACKUP network & MIGRATION network ? fiddle with these, note what they are actually set, and change them if possible between each change, check your SR stats @florent could explain better how SR stats use the backup network to get the RRDs... I guess you have stalled RRD tasks too ? in tasks list ?

    I also added windows build so that people can help with testing also on windows. It's a static build, no need for installer, just single zipped .exe file. No dependencies.

    If I remember some previous discussions, EVE-ng uses some features that doesn't work in nested mode with Xen.

    @irtaza9 it scans all the VDI's on the SR to see if something has changed, if there's a need for coalesce and so on. I dont think it will be a big issue if you increase the auto-scan-interval value to lets say 5 minutes (300 seconds), but do remember, that everything regarding the VDI's on the SR will take up to 5 minutes to update, as well as triggering coalesce after removing snapshots.

    For me it's a bit confusing XO6. For example, why are the icons so small and in such far corners, like New VM? It's like you want it to be hidden. [image: 1767904503324-174bdca5-6545-4f34-b7d4-804718aebd58-image.png] Isn't it more intuitive if they're at the top/bottom of this menu or in line with title (***-xen01)? [image: 1767905123455-80e7222e-e104-4225-b928-4d8ee3094b15-image.png] Another thing is the number of allocated processors. In my opinion it is misleading. It shows the total number of allocated processors even to VMs that are not started. It is not better to be something like: 8 vCPUs running VMs / 4 vCPUs stopped VMs - total number allocated vCPUs 12/ Total CPUs 8. And something like 8 - green / 4 -red - 12 orange/ 8 grey [image: 1767904986729-594a774d-9ea8-4db3-9b8d-b46c525b70a8-image.png] Running VM [image: 1767905081890-92387c99-40f8-4fbd-83fa-c6d32d48a72d-image.png]

    @Pilow Does disk show up after you do the snapshot? If it is able to do the snapshot there is a high chance it can boot up. So try booting up (and check for disk) and shut it down and do the snapshot at that time if the disk show up. It helps to boot up on the old v5 commit and check from that side too if you have both copy before the commit update. Yep I can confirm that snapshot doesn't always work. But using the older v5 that used to work before the update does get it showing up on the newer v5 commit if I go through whole snapshot, revert, etc. one of those case work.
