@poddingue, that is true, my first post here. I'll try to play with these BIOS settings again. and keep you posted. Cheers

Drivers are actually in @Team-Hypervisor-Kernel scope nowadays

@poddingue Borrow away - "smoke alarm" is a better name for it than anything we had, so we might borrow it right back. Since you mentioned reading the matrix - here is the classification you would be reading, straight from the file: grep access: dadl/xen-orchestra.dadl | sort | uniq -c 49 access: admin 21 access: dangerous 122 access: read 75 access: write 122 of the 267 tools are plain read - that is the entire surface a review-capped agent gets. The other 145 exist in the same file, but for that agent they might as well not. The whole security taxonomy is greppable plaintext - which is rather the point of a declarative format. And if anything in the matrix looks wrong or missing, this thread is exactly the right place - real-world corrections are how it improves.

@yannsionneau , may this link helps if you not anyway know it https://medium.com/@timemaster5/getting-amd-phoenix-igpu-passthrough-working-on-xen-xcp-ng-8856593f9c0d I will give it a try this weekend

@oliv77 said: Hi, XOA version: xo-server 5.193.1 xo-web-premium 5.191.0 We've noticed on our production XOA server that when we put an XCPNG host in a pool into maintenance mode, we reboot it and then it reconnects to its pool but is no longer in maintenance mode. Is it possible to configure the XCPNG hosts so that they automatically return to maintenance mode after a reboot? Regards, Oliv77 Hi @oliv77, XO 6.7 - latest - adds this option in REST API and next month we should have the available action (Disable host and evacuate VM) in XO6 !

Great, thanks for the feedback!

@olivierlambert Happy to hear that they are providing results to be looked at. If there is anything else I can provide, please don't hesitate to ask. And I'll do my very best to be helpfull

A remote is not the same thing as a SR. For a remote, it's simple: disconnect it (click on "Enabled" so it's disabled then), do whatever you need on the NFS server, re-enable.

Excellent! It's really cool to see how XO Backup and Replication can help you to migrate easily

I think this is fixed in 6.7: when a delta backup falls back to a full, the task now shows the actual reason instead of just contradicting itself the way you and Andrew both saw (PR #10148). Worth checking after you upgrade.

Both things reported here look fixed in 6.7: the retry succeeding but the job still showing as failed (PR #10129), and the EEXIST: file already exists error, which happened when a job got recreated after a crash (PR #10139). Curious if upgrading clears it for you all too.

The progress bar issue you and Florent were chasing looks fixed in 6.7 (PR #10133). Worth upgrading and seeing if it moves now instead of sitting still. Separately, since this thread is specifically about QCOW2 backups: 6.7 also fixes an offset bug that could leave incremental backups mostly empty after the first block when NBD isn't enabled. Worth a look at the release notes if that's your setup too.

Hello, You can find all the demo dashboards at the following address: https://github.com/steeve-san/OpenMetrics_XCP_Grafana Regard,

@acebmxer Thank you for your quick feedback.

@acebmxer all good and thank you again for sharing your discovery on the forums

All hosts are restarted with 9.2.18 loaded now. Will see what happens next. [15:56 ovbh-pprod-xen05 ~]# drbdadm --version DRBDADM_BUILDTAG=GIT-hash:\ 71c8bcff6ea77a022b272a7eba649a774251bac4\ build\ by\ @buildsystem\,\ 2025-11-03\ 10:21:36 DRBDADM_API_VERSION=2 DRBD_KERNEL_VERSION_CODE=0x090212 DRBD_KERNEL_VERSION=9.2.18 DRBDADM_VERSION_CODE=0x092100 DRBDADM_VERSION=9.33.0

Good news that it sorted itself out. Both changes went in at once and the next run came back clean on the ADDS VMs too, so I don't think there's anything left to pin down here, and I'd rather say that than invent an explanation after the fact. Your question about the snapshot modes was the useful thing to come out of this thread. I went looking, they genuinely aren't documented anywhere, and that's written up on our side now If the fall back to a full ever comes back on the ADDS VMs specifically, that would deserve its own thread with the SMlog output @tjkreidl asked for, since nobody got to look at that part.

I have been in the Network Enterprise business for 28 years. I live in Virginia which is heavily populated with Data Centers and adding more all the time. However, we have quite a few customers especially municipalities which are saying NO to having anything hosted with cloud computing due to security and endless rising cost. We have been deploying xcp-ng in quite a few installations, on customer premise. I think VATES will find there is a whole other market in these areas they can reach. That being said, Thanks to VATES and all who have worked on solutions for this! It truly benefits everyone!

i think im seeing the same with fake cpu spikes. I started a second pool yesterday to patch and left it on over night. typically i just shut it down once done so the servers dont get too far behind patching. Under the pool stats im seeing spikes but under hosts nothing. It doesnt really bother me, but figure i add to the thread that im also seeing it.
