@seanmcg182 's post might be the answer to the original question, two years late. Your lspci -s 0000:05:00.0 -v at post 8 shows (rev ff) and !!! Unknown header type 7f, which is the same pair he had, and in his case it came from bifurcating the wrong PCIe port in the BIOS rather than from anything XCP-ng was doing. He says the unknown header is what then produced the device or resource busy error on VM start, which is the error you opened with. I don't know whether your board exposes bifurcation the way his X10DRH-CT does, so it might not transfer at all. @kuznetcoff777 if that machine is still around, it'd be worth a look either way.

@poddingue said: What I can't tell you is what set that particular combination on your VM in the first place. Does it ring a bell? I have no Idea. I had it on "Protect from accidental shutdown" but turned that off again, later. Doing this again (on, off) helped, as you said. Thank you so much!

@poddingue Thank you for the analysis. I'd give you a rep if I could

If the list is only complete after you've been through the Storage view first, that smells like the VM view not loading the whole SR collection, so the dialog only knows about the SR the disk already sits on. I could easily be wrong about the mechanism though. 6.7.0 went out on 30 July, so it would help to know whether it still does this there, and whether anyone else on 6.6.2 sees the same thing. Might be worth a mention to @Team-XO-Frontend, since they'd know straight away whether that dropdown is meant to come from a shared collection or get fetched per view. The nearest thing I found in the tracker is https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/7392, but that one is ISO SRs turning up in the wrong list rather than SRs going missing, so probably not the same thing.

@yllar said: @yannsionneau Hi, any news on the new iso? Hello @yllar In case you missed it, the ISO was released a few days ago: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2026/08/14/xcp-ng-8-3-lts-refreshed-installation-isos/

After a good sleep, I resolved half of my issue. I got my LSI Cards messed up, I accidentally hidan internal LSI3108 (Address 01:00.0) instead of the PCI Card LSI3008 (Address 05:00.0)... My Boot Drives run off of the internal card. From the fallback kernel, I was able to Modify /etc/grub-efi.cfg to remove the internal card form the hidden list. I now have a separate issue, but will make another post.

Any update on this? It is a drawback. It is also in the wrong format under snapshots. XO 5 has the format: July 17, 2026 or 2026-07-17 depending on the screen.

Question for @Team-XO-Backend

@neal https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/10260

@dinhngtu When creating GPOs if you have an non-policy setting for all users in the settings area for the agent config. The policy based registry settings can go into “Software\Policies”, for the appropriate HKEY and keys. In which case the policy based registry entries supersede the non-policy ones, when considering also the HKLM vs HKU and HKCU cascade. Also a disabling of user configuration of the managed setting(s) along with display of a message like “At least some of these settings are managed by the organisation”.

@poddingue Fistst of all I appreciate your answer and your position. The thing is that, even though the proxy code itself is opensource, the functionality of the plugin is basicaly behind a paywall. We are not talking about support. Actual functioning of the plugin after compiling from sources depends on license availability and there is no option to select no support or something along the lines "I built it myself from sources". Without patching the code even though the proxy is otherwise functional the backups won't work because of missing license. Hopefully the powers that can will provide an acceptable albeit community supported way to use the proxy cleanly, without touching license checks. Best regards!

Pour l'ISO montée deux fois : My bad, j'ai ajouter un truc en trop sur mon précédent fix. Une PR est en cours pour corriger ça. Pour le problème principal : J'ai identifié la cause, mais je n'ai pas encore de solution. Sans les drivers Xen (non initialisés avant l'installation), une VM est limitée à 4 périphériques. La séquence de boot ne peut donc pas détecter le second disque contenant le fichier Kickstart (ks). Côté Packer, on semble être bloqués par cette contrainte XCP-ng. Les seules alternatives actuelles seraient de se limiter à : 2 disques + 2 CD ou 3 disques + 1 CD + HTTP (Note : L'installation manuelle fonctionne car l'installateur démarre directement, avec le driver xen_blkfront, alors qu'avec Packer, l'injection de notre fichier interrompt le flux de démarrage classique). Je vais fouiller encore un peu, mais sans certitude d'un contournement possible. (et je regarde pour ajouter le CDlabel)

I put both of your questions on a spare host, because I couldn't answer either from memory. On colons: xe creates a key literally called auto_poweron:true with an empty value, so the entries you saw were three separate keys and none was the real auto_poweron, and typing false afterwards just made another one. It exits 0 and prints nothing every time, which I'd call a rough edge rather than a feature, though other-config is free-form by design so I don't know that the CLI is meant to validate keys at all. On the sleep: with rc.local executable and no sleep, it fired at 16 seconds of uptime and xe appliance-start came back with Error: Connection refused (calling connect ), exit 1, in under a tenth of a second. The VM stayed halted and nothing was reported anywhere, since rc.local has no terminal to print to. rc-local.service only orders after basic.target and network.target, nothing toolstack-related, while xapi-wait-init-complete.service took 30 seconds on that host, which is presumably why 60 was barely enough for you. There's an xapi-init-complete.target that looks like the right thing to order a unit against instead of guessing at a delay, though I haven't tried it so treat that as a lead rather than advice. The executable-bit half is in the docs now, it went onto the troubleshooting page after you reported it: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/troubleshooting/common-problems

On a Lenovo SR630 V4 it took Power/Performance Bias set to OS Controlled, and on an HPE DL380 Gen 11 it was the iLO Power Regulator moved off Dynamic Power Savings to OS Control Mode, with a host reboot. Both then returned real values from xenpm get-cpufreq-para instead of the failure line. @bleader is right that two vendors is not enough to document, so if your host works, could you post the vendor, the exact setting name, where it lives, and whether you needed a reboot? Dell, Supermicro and anything AMD are the obvious gaps. I don't know whether the firmware is withholding p-state control outright or just not publishing the ACPI objects Xen looks for, so I would rather collect settings than write up a mechanism I can't back. Thanks!

Version 4.7 build 105 works fine with applied fix (modules/path). I have made upgrade form 4.5 -> 4.7, before update I have uninstall all plugins than upgrade to 4.7. Apply fixes and install plugins.

@acebmxer No problem, that's excellent news, thanks for the feedback!

The July updates batch that went out on 28 July carries xapi-26.1.11-1.3.xcpng8.3, and @kagbasi-wgsdac has since confirmed on https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/825 that three days after patching his disks are all visible again and reverting a snapshot no longer duplicates VDIs. The blog entry for that batch names the fix as non-snapshotted VBDs staying attached after VM.revert, a regression from xapi-26.1.4-3.3: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2026/07/28/july-2026-updates-1-for-xcp-ng-8-3-lts/. Host reboots are needed. That stops new damage, but it does not unstamp VDIs that were already hit, so if disks are still hidden after you patch you probably still want the repair script at https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/105564. My post above also had the mechanism wrong, and @kagbasi-wgsdac corrected it: the field being wrongly written is snapshot-of on base disks, not is-a-snapshot. If anyone is still watching disks disappear on a fully updated pool, please say so here, because that would be something new rather than the tail of this one.

XO 6.7.0 went out on 30 July, and the changelog carries Bastien's fix under Backups as "Fix failed status on successful retry", pointing at PR https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/10129 and back at this thread: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-6-7/. Given what you said about keeping the backup XOA on a version you trust, I would not rush it, but that is the version to look for when you do move. I have not exercised the retry path myself, so if a retried VM still reports the job as failed after you upgrade, it is worth saying so here.

@andriy.sultanov @andriy.sultanov said: @pandusen As Teddy said above, you can't passthrough a PCI bridge, so there's no PCI devices xapi shouldn't omit here. I am not trying to pass through the bridge only the end points. The Intel arc's have 2 end points: The GPU and the Sound device. "xe pci-list" only reveals the GPU, not the sound device. (this works for nvidia and AMD) But "going the xen-cmdline way" shouldn't break anything, that's what xe pci-disable-dom0-access does behind the scenes. What issues did you see? Which steps did you follow? the sound device is available in the lspci list and can be passed through using CLI. But doing so, (using CLI for passtrough) undoes everything done using xe or the passthrough gui in XO. and results in this: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10609/xcp-ng-8.3-pci-passthrough-issue so yes, its does break something.
