RE: ova export not functional
Windows 22h2 ova is exported fine. The import goes to the end only if:
- it is not set to EFI boot by default
- the type of Operating System is on Other and the version is Other/Unknown
- video is under 16Mb
Linux ova export is fine. The import goes to the end with the same missconfiguration.
After the settings are done everything works fine.

RE: Continuous Replication on a large VM
Hello,
I have windows 2008R2 with SQL 2008R2 and a database of 4.3Tb, I use CR successfully (for 2+ years now), I do the transfer on a LAN link in http mode.For a transfer on a 1G LAN, you will have a transfer time of 60-72 hours. You must set in XCP-ng the time to kill the task for 72 hours minimum, in /etc/xapi.conf line 306 set: pending_task_timeout = 259200 # 3 days in seconds.
For a transfer on a 10Gb LAN you will have a transfer of 7-14 hours.
I don't use snapshot with memory but the recovery was ok, I had an event. -
Full backup interval with current step
Can you put an extra message at the Full backup interval, which will display what step it is until the next Full backup.
For example, as in the photo below, the first is the current one and the second is the desired one.original one

Thank you

RE: XO Lite: building an embedded UI in XCP-ng
To be a good alternative to XCP-NG Center you have to do at least what XCP-NG Center does.
E.g:- I haven't found in XOCE, so far, how to rearrange the VHDs of a VM, the only method, which I found , is to reattach them in the order I want,
- To be able to snopshoot,
- To be able to import and export,
- To be able to migrate a VM, implicitly to be able to add another host on which to migrate the VM. This is good when the current host has a problem,
- To group VMs by hosts, sometimes it is more useful to see which VMs are affected if you restart a host, XOCE displays them all but you cannot group/subgroup them on hosts that they are running on,
- It can be restarted even if it is the only host, XOCE only wants it if the VMs are all turned off.
In essence, XCP-NG Center does almost everything XOCE does, but manually. Which is OK when you have a breakdown.
Don't get me wrong I use XOCE the most and I understand its importance but sometimes a XCP-NG Center is good to have, especially a local one on the host.

RE: Windows 2008 Guest tools
What I did.
I installed XCP-ng 7.5 from https://updates.xcp-ng.org/isos/7.5/ , on VirtualBox with the ability to enable Nested VT-x/Amd-V
Copy templates for windows 2008 in the current XCP-ng, be it 8.2+, as in the photo. The template is to recreate the existing VM and attach the existing HDD
Download the XenServer 7.2 image from http://downloadns.citrix.com.edgesuite.net/12636/XenServer-7.2.0-install-cd.iso
Open with 7zip or equivalent.
Extract XenServer-7.2.0-install-cd.iso\Packages\xenserver-pv-tools-7.11.0-1.noarch.rpm
From the above file extract xenserver-pv-tools-7.11.0-1.noarch.cpio\opt\xensource\packages\iso\guest-tools-7.11.0-1.iso. Here you have PV drivers for windows 2008Mount and install the PV driver in the VM and everything is ok
Or already extracted on https://ncloud.neandria.ro/index.php/s/89i8D6E3nDX99G7
The template must be for windows 2008, otherwise the PV drivers will not install properly

RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers
We need to talk to the XCP-ng team and see if they can provide the module for the xen kernel.

RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers
Try to install lm-sensors and see what it detects.
It seems to me that the kernel it does not have drivers for IPMI BMC KCS.
My fans have 8000 - 8100 rpmyum -y install lm_sensors sensors -v sensors-detect sensors

RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers
Did it come fully equipped?
Did you install Lenovo signed HDD in it? Or you have compatibles HDD.
If you have compatibility, try to put a HDD with (original) Lenovo firmware.
I had the same problem with an Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630, I had installed a Lenovo non-firmware HDD, all of them. I bought one with Lenovo firmware, I installed and the problem disappeared. -
Export VM problem
I am on commit 17ed63fd58451737e6ca0f9899332b49861b2407 and I can't export VMs.
I get "unknown error".
I have on one server XCP-ng 8.3 and I can export VMs with XO-lite without problems.
I tried to export them with or without compression -
RE: Windows 2008 Guest tools
@manilx I use the last one - Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit)
Steps are:- On XCP-ng 7.5 create a VM with template Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit), with out hdd
- Copy the VM to XCP-ng 8.2
- Import HDD to XCP-ng 8.2
- Attach the imported HDD to VM
- Start VM
If you get BSOD you need to insert xenbus driver.
You have them on https://ncloud.neandria.ro/index.php/s/89i8D6E3nDX99G7
I use Dism++ for insert them, just mount de disk to other windows
