@olivierlambert Hello Olivier, Another year since the question. Time flies By now, do you know the eta of version 8.3? And is it still an option in that version to be able to backup only the boot disk.

Kind regards,
Jan

@ronivay Ok. In between jobs I did a new VM install of debian 11 and on it the XO community version.
Version numbers now:
xo-server 5.100.1
xo-web 5.101.1
I seem to have everything working again. Thanks for the help and tip. Now it seems really solved.
If I come across anything else, which I don't think I will, I will report back.
Greetings and thanks,
Jan

If I set the vm auto power on in Xen Orchestra web interface community version it works. But the Start delay (seconds) in the web interface does not change anything in the config and the variable auto_poweron_delay is not set or changed when I look with xe vm-param-list uuid=....
Only when I type in at the cli: xe vm-param-set other-config:auto_poweron_delay=30 uuid=.... does the variable auto_poweron_delay appear or change.
Xen Orchestra, commit fd2c7
xo-server 5.113.0
xo-web 5.116.1

Ok. Great I wait for the release. Thanks

@olivierlambert ok.

For info: xo-server 5.113.0 / xo-web 5.116.1 Installed this version XO yesterday and tried a smart reboot with 14 vm's running. Windows and linux vm's. Of which some linux vm's have NFS shares which I use for ISO files and making backups with XO. These I normally have to disconnect before I can do a reboot of the host otherwise it will not reboot and had expected that this would not be necessary now. It took a very long time for all vm's to enter suspend mode (>2 hours) and the server did not reboot. Probably ran into not shutting down the NFS shares. I finish much faster if I manually shut down all vm's (and disconnect the NFS shares) reboot the host and restart the vm's. But maybe I am overlooking something then I would like to hear about it.

@olivierlambert

Ok thanks for your response. I understand your "making money" but, as a simple home user, am very happy with the open source and philosophy behind it. Of course, whenever possible, I advise companies to look at xcp-ng and xen-orchestra and get a subscription. Great what you guys are doing.

Greetings,
Jan

Is xo going to support smart host reboot in the community version?
Will smart reboot then also work with nfs shares that are still open? Now if I want to reboot the host I have to first disconnect all the nfs share, then shut down the vm's and then reboot the host.

@olivierlambert Is there a date known when 8.3 will be released?

@olivierlambert

Ok that sounds good. Do I understand correctly that this is then possible not only for snapshots but also for backups?

Hello,
I have truenas running on a virtual machine.
As data disks I have linked two 8TB disks via passthrough in a mirror configuration.

I would like to take occasional snapshot and backup just the boot disk. Not those 8TB disks.

The question is actually is it possible to exclude this passthrough disk from the snapshot and backup?
