@busthead What version win 25h2 are you using? Mine is from 10/4/2025 and boots just fine.

Keep us posted, happy to hear from it!

I made a list of processes with a small bash script that I am attaching here [image: 1769612600385-screenshot-2026-01-28-alle-16.01.53.png]

@florent Yes.

Wow, great news. Tried it with my pools. Connected, basic functions is working, handled pool unavailability. About UI usability: templates mixed up with disabled VMs at same root directory. Without any sorting. I prefer to never see them, since it not important items.

App mostly required for asap situations when XO is down.

@jkatz So everyone is cleared since I just experience the same issue not allowing me to create a new vm using the template. Before you use the Windows 11 Template and you have it with SYSPREP ready. You need to go down to advanced and make sure you delete the VTPM [image: 1769552292859-5d61aad5-013e-4cff-af7c-adbb4c4ca809-image.png] then create the Template. Once you create the vm again you will not receive the error and a vtpm will be created for the new VM with no issue. Hope this helps.

@drwhite85 I suggest watching some youtube videos about xcp-ng. I guest Lawrence Systems - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wMmSm_ZeZ4 He has other videos that go into more depth

@dinhngtu That's great, thank you. I think I'll wait a bit before switching tools. Everything's working perfectly at the moment. If you need me to test anything, just let me know. I'd be happy to test it when I have time.

@rzr Thank you very much! @michmoor0725 Absolutely! The community is another aspect of why working with XCP-ng is a lot more fun compared to working with VMWare!

@olivierlambert Thanks! Very little time/ learning progress had been made/spent on this VM so I have gone ahead and created a new VM. The VM with the mysterious device still exists. So it would be interesting to know how but not essential.

You can forget them, no issue.

@psafont Freezing/thawing doesn't actually suspend a VM, but it's just a part of the backup process, where I/O operations are quiesced to create a stable view of the on-disk data.

@pdonias https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/users [...] Operator An operator can make everyday operations on assigned objects. For example, on a VM: eject a CD insert a CD (if he can view the ISO storage repository) start, restart, shutdown, suspend/resume it All other operations are forbidden. [...] As I understand it (I may be mistaken), changing the "Rate Limit" is already a configuration change and should not be available to an Operator.

@samuelolavo Yes, I do use NUT, but I don’t want to install any additional packet on XCP-ng. The way I found leverage the SSH authorized keys restrictions, and so you only need to change one file. Thanks for the link anyway

I had the same question but the responses here was amazing and the following blogpost nailed it. I hope it helps someone else too: https://techdirectarchive.com/2026/01/25/a-z-of-xcp-ng-and-xen-orchestra-setup-and-vm-creation/

@LoTus111 Hello, I attempted to reproduce the issue without success. Could you please share the logs with us so we can conduct a deeper investigation? Feel free to send them to me via PM.

I managed to do the migration by splitting over the two storages the remove system has. This made it work and I managed to move that one VM. However I still have a second one It's thick provisioned (LVM - never can remember the terms thin/thick). Offline isn't an option unfortunately since I need the services running, can't take if off for 15 hours. But since two of the services are docker containers, both having a separate disk of 500GB, I can make it work by setting up a two new systems and moving everything from the container there. Which would reduce the size by 1TB and make thing easier to manage. Was hoping I could finally upgrade the main xcp-ng last weekend.
