@Greg_E said in XCP-ng Windows PV tools announcements: @john.c I'll have to update group policy and check that out, would be a time saver. Everything I use is an Enterprise level of some kind, using EDU in production right now, and Pro/Enterprise evaluation in the lab. I was looking at running a post imaging script to prevent some of the bloat, but a GPO might be easier. You can use Windows ADK to customise the installation media and build a custom ISO. That file can then be placed on your ISO SR. The GPO is especially effective when combined with a custom ISO built using Windows ADK. I have tried this myself and it’s very effective doing it this way, the Windows ADK tool is very powerful but will require time to learn. Will save time with all of the extra installations, if you use a custom ISO.

@denis.grilli really big news, I need to have XO STOR working Thanks for your problems and support correting them

It won't disappear tomorrow, but I'd like to phase it out sooner than later (before 2027? who knows)

It's not meant to be used like that. If you are behind a NAT, the right approach is to have your XOA behind the NAT and inside the same network than the hosts. That's because hosts will always use and return their internal IPs to connect to some resources (stats, consoles etc.). XOA deals with that easily as being the "main control point" for all hosts behind your NAT (or a XO proxy if you prefer).

The roadmap depends a lot on the feedback we have on it More demand/popular, faster we'll implement stuff

Ok I've figured out root cause. My config override has only one option: ignoreVmSnapshotResources = true And I had to change it with adding [selfService] on a line below Also I found out that override config for XO5 interface needs to have absolute paths to xo-web and @XenOrchestra in it. With relative paths it didn't work.

@Bastien-Nollet Great, thanks!

I would like to suggest to configure a remote syslog server. it centralizes all the log s and give you full control over the retention. It would also avoid situation where a disk full would impact your logging as well XCP-ng or XOA host operations. For your XCP-NG host go to you POOl, select Advanced tab and configure the Remote syslog host section to point to your syslog server. For XOA, you can follow the instruction here : https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backups#send-xo-logs-to-an-external-syslog-server

If one day, some sad soul encounters these errors and nothing seems to be working or making sense you may have the same issue I did. Back story: Earlier this year, I had a Pool with 3 hosts. Through a series of unfortunate events. The Master died, I recovered as best as I could and assumed all was well as I rebuilt the environment since all of my vm's appeared to be working (except Xen Orchestra). I tried different versions (Ubuntu, Debian, XOA, XO via Docker, etc.). Error: backupNg.runJob { "id": "ea4a9d00-db35-45a9-8a15-f700891d55c6", "schedule": "0811579b-8ad3-4f29-8581-15a35c9c4597" } { "library": "SSL routines", "reason": "tlsv1 unrecognized name", "code": "ERR_SSL_TLSV1_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME", "call": { "duration": 21, "method": "session.login_with_password", "params": "* obfuscated *" } } [image: 1765346178618-a19c2386-f194-4268-af87-3c2307bb9cdd-image.png] In my case, my database was corrupted. By rejoining host to the same damaged pool, the issue remained. In was confusing since an old instance of xen orchestra running Ubuntu 18.04 was the only instance that could run backups successfully. Newer instances could do everything except run backups. Either way, hopefully this never happens to you. If it does, your servers backend database might be the issue. Thanks again to everyone that helped me figure this out throughout the year!

Thanks Olivier! That is what we assumed, but with how the 3 hosts per pool was in there under the essentials licenses it was up for debate

Great! Keep us posted

But giving your feedback on how you solved it might help many people in the future Thanks!

@MathieuRA The context for my question is I created an app to control my VMs and though my app said a VM started it really didn't. When I went into the logs I noticed an error, so my thought is to be able to check the logs would be helpful to find out if there is an error or not. Let me update my app because I'm thinking I can get around not having access to the logs. Thank you for the prompt response! Have a blessed day!

In other words, you can safely remove them.
