Memory usage is not showing up in XOA

Shadowfire

Hello everyone. I installed xcp-ng w/ xoa on a device and for some reason the VM is not showing memory usage. Is there a way to figure out how to get this working graph to so I can see the memory usage?

Thanks for your review.

@olivierlambert That did the trick. Wanted to make sure to say thanks for your help. Thanks again! Hope you have a great day!

You need to have the guest agent installed/working to get the memory

@olivierlambert

isn't that supposed to happen when you turn on Manage Citrix PV drivers via Windows Update?

.

If not ... can I install xcp-ng guest with the Manage Citrix PV drivers loaded? Thanks in advance.

olivierlambert

This button won't install the management agent, just get the PV drivers updated via Windows Update. Can you scroll down and check the status of tools?

@olivierlambert

Looks to me like it is not loaded. What is the best way to get it up and working?

olivierlambert

You need to install the management agent inside your VM (the Citrix one if you enable Windows PV update)

Do you have the actually link to share for me to get to the correct citrix agent I should be using on my xcp-ng install... I am using XOA of course. I am using xcp-ng 8.2.1

Thanks for your review and help so far.

nm, I found it on -

https://xcp-ng.org/docs/guests.html#windows

Management agent + device drivers

The only way to get the management agent is from Citrix. It can be freely downloaded from the Citrix Hypervisor download page (opens new window), provided you create an account on their site. Name of the item: "Citrix VM Tools for Windows". The installer will install both the management agent and the device drivers.

I do appreciate you help. Have a great day.

Indeed, that's the way to do it

Now you have the agent and the PV drivers will be automatically updated via Windows update

edit: and you also have the memory reported too

@olivierlambert

Sorry, One more question... So just to be clear. is this the download for Windows Citrix VM Tools that we have been talking about to get:

That would be the one I would be using on my xcp-ng 8.2.1 system for the management agent.

Just check, check and double checking

Thanks again for your review and help.

Yes it's fine What matters is to go either XCP tools OR Citrix, never both
