I'm also investigating on a solution to make XCP-ng opportunistically resize device BAR; in case the firmware didn't do it (or has no support for it).

Thanks @jr-m4, reporting the small ones is useful too. From what I can see in the code, the VM view of the restore page has that refresh button and the Metadata view only has a link back, so I think your screenshots show a real gap and not a glitch on your side. I honestly don't know whether XO 5 still takes this kind of small UI fix now that most of the work goes into XO 6, so I'll leave that to @Team-XO-Frontend to decide.

Thanks @cocoon, and I owe a correction: when I said in https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/104865 that 6.4 would make these alerts disappear for good, I overstated it. If I'm reading the code right this time, the XO server sends a ping every 30 seconds stamped with its own clock (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/master/@xen-orchestra/rest-api/src/events/event.class.mts), and the browser compares that stamp with its own clock and shows the banner once the gap passes 40 seconds (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/master/@xen-orchestra/web-core/lib/packages/remote-resource/sse.store.ts). So https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9681 widened the margin from 32 to 40 seconds, but a browser whose clock runs ahead of the XO server by more than about 10 seconds would still see it. That might be why @GregBinSD saw it on the Windows PC and not on the tablet, though that's only a guess on my part. Comparing two different clocks looks fragile to me, but @Team-XO-Frontend will know far better than I do whether there's a reason it's done that way.

@irtaza9 What do you see if you run top or xtop, or "xe task-list" when you start the process?

For some reason, we have the same issue (missing disks / snapshot-of) on our environment. (XO from source commit a5077) This is a major issue for us. We use Terraform to manage our VMs, and the missing VDIs are causing Terraform to fail. As a result, we are currently unable to manage our VMs using Terraform. ➜ dacsvm-db02 git:(main) tofu plan -var-file="dacsvm-db02.tfvars" module.vm.xenorchestra_vm.vm: Refreshing state...

@Velocity1192 If you can wait a little, we are atively working on the new XO6 backup job uI, that will come with some changes : one schedule per job, but with conditionnal actions You will run an incremental job, and will be able to define that the schedule of sunday is a full,and even run a healthcheck on it The ETA is on 6.11 ( next month release )

@acebmxer I haven't run your script, so I can't vouch for the log lines, but the systemctl status check looks like the safer of the two to me. It shows the binary the service is really running. Whichever node comes first in your shell can be a different one if more than one Node is installed. For XOA I'd go with what @Danp said above.

For anyone else who steps through this, I've also installed the latest xen-guest-agent with the below process. Repeat for each host in the environment, 1 at a time from your Helper VM. ### ssh into your helper ### oc debug node/fedora-cmp-1/2/3 chroot /host cd /var/tmp curl -LO https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/6041686376/artifacts/raw/RPMS/x86_64/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm sudo rpm-ostree install /var/tmp/xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm mkdir /var/tmp/xga && cd /var/tmp/xga rpm2cpio ../xen-guest-agent-0.4.0-0.fc37.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv ### From your helper... DRAIN YOUR WORKERS ### oc adm drain fedora-cmp-1/2/3 --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data ### log back into fedora-cmp-1/2/3... ### sudo systemctl reboot ### from helper ### oc adm uncordon fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### login to fedora-cmp-1/2/3 ### chroot /host sudo systemctl enable --now xen-guest-agent And then from XO this is what your VMs will look like.

Good to hear block mode did it. If I'm reading XO's troubleshooting page right, that 5-minute wait is a setting you can raise: httpInactivityTimeout under [xapiOptions] in a file like /etc/xo-server/config.httpInactivityTimeout.toml, then a restart of xo-server (https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backups-and-dr/backup_troubleshooting#error-http-connection-has-timed-out). That path is the XOA one, and I don't know where the ronivay installer keeps its config, so check that first. The page calls it a workaround and says the slow host is the real thing to look at, which could fit your SMR-disk theory, but I haven't tried anything close to a 3 TB qcow2 delta myself. For the close() error, unless I'm misreading the code, XO closes the source after the failed start and only logs a warning before falling back to a full, so I'd guess it's noise from the timeout and not a second bug. The stuck tapdisks look more like one for @Team-Storage, and I don't know if a keep-alive during the delta computation is planned.

Sharing some results. I enabled this on my homelab server, a Dell R630 with Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 (Broadwell). No adverse impact noticed. The CDM results on Windows is higher than previous runs however, I do not go in depth with I/O benchmarking. (I am using the latest win-pv-drivers on Windows and the rust-based guest tools on Linux) Controller is in HBA mode. VM SR is using SMAPIv3 (ZFS, RAID-0, noop scheduler) [image: R630_XCP-ng_APICv.png] CDM results. Windows Server 2019 4 vCPU/8GB RAM/single VHD: [image: 2610_WIN2019_ZFS.png] I installed ScyllaDB on Alma Linux 10.2 (4 vCPU/8GB RAM & two VHDs, ScyllaDB uses a dedicated drive for data) with io_uring enabled and noop scheduler set on VM. Here are the IOTune results from the ScyllaDB installation: Measuring sequential write bandwidth: 826 MiB/s (deviation 13%) Measuring sequential read bandwidth: 1061 MiB/s (deviation 6%) Measuring random write IOPS: 50791 IOPS (deviation 11%) Measuring random read IOPS: 62977 IOPS (deviation 16%)

@MrQ said: @jr-m4 thank you so much for testing this updated driver. Just to make sure, I understand now that you confirm the driver is working as expected and the issues you had were not related to it? Or are there any problems still with this new driver? Many thanks again for spending the time to test and report. Hi Yes. I believe I was chasing a red herring of my own doing. I have not found anything actually problematic with this driver at all.

@poddingue Thank you!

Hello Christof, Swapping the disks between the two VMs shows the problem follows whatever runs inside, not the VM itself. Next I would run xe vm-param-list uuid=<vm-uuid> on the host once with HAOS booted and once with Debian booted, and diff the two outputs. Fields like os-version, PV-drivers-version and networks are reported back by the running OS, so they change with the guest. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that one of them comes back in a shape Commvault's parser doesn't expect: "input string has the wrong format" is what .NET says when it fails to read a number. If you find the field that differs, Commvault support would have something concrete to work with.

OK, marking this solved... It was the phantom reboots causing issues because the tools were not fully installed, only thing I can't understand is why only 2 out of 3 Windows servers would quit. Any way, got the Xen Tools updated and a couple reboots later, everything is working again. Also I can now report that a bug that was fixed maybe a year ago is confirmed to work in my system. The bug was backing up a Windows VM that had a lot of empty space in the drive (over 250GB free) and turning on compression. It would time out counting zeros because it thought the process wasn't doing work. Both of these VMs are now compressing with zstd, one of them is substantially smaller now, the other only shrunk about 20GB. Because of the way Windows uses the drive, these are all full backups. The differential never seemed to be small because Windows does a lot of changes on the drive (there is a post about this somewhere in here from Olivier).

The UEFI and possibly SecureBoot requirements on a lot of stuff and going to turn a lot of old systems into garbage. Also going to be an issue when more current stuff gets upgrade from 8.3 in BIOS mode to requiring UEFI for version 9. That's the boat I'm in for production. Alma and openSuse may be a few of the last holdouts allowing v2 and BIOS boot.

@Tristis-Oris said: @DustinB said: 14 year old controller it supported and has a driver. Whats wrong? I can't find that storage adapter on the HCL, were you able to? But the summary I have here is replace the old really old adapter. How reliable can't this card still be after working for so long?

Hi, This was fixed in Latest. But if you need to stay on Stable, you can open a ticket to have a patch.

@dinhngtu Thanks for fixing the note. The IP loss did happen on 9.6.0. On the first boot after I set has-vendor-device=false, the guest still reported tools 9.6.0 build 19 (xenbus 9.1.13.23, xenvif 9.1.15.8, xennet 9.1.8.6), and both static IPs were already gone: the main NIC was on DHCP and the second NIC had a 169.254 address. XenClean and the 9.2.385 install came after that.

@willamcorlin Hello, The fix for CVE-2026-46243 has gone through the entire standard release process, which includes: Review by at least 2 developers. Unit testing within the package (if available). End-to-end testing in the CI (xcp-ng-tests). Several days of user testing. And since the release, we have received no feedback suggesting any potential regression. (This does not mean that the risk of a regression is zero.) If any issue arises, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Respectfully,

@poddingue Thank you!
