@simonp said: @acebmxer Hi, Thanks to your help we were able to identify an issue with Redis that we think is the source of the v6 dashboard loading issue. Could you try and checkout the fix_redis_encryption_issue branch, rebuild xo and restart ? This should solve the 401 issues. Switched back to Master branch and made some changes to my install script. add diagnostics for missing XO 6 web UI build artifacts Plain bash [[ -f ]] fails silently on unreadable paths owned by SERVICE_USER, causing false-positive missing-artifact warnings.

@MathieuRA said: Hi, regarding your backups which do not appear on the XO5 restore page, I suggest you to open a new topic Forgot to include the link to the new topic https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/12040/restore-only-showing-1-vm

@gregbinsd let us know. If you do use my script. It pulls nodejs from NodeSource so it may not install the latest 24.15.0 tls. If you specific 24.15.0 it will install that version. If you need to change node version with my script use the rebuild option.

@Pilow While that could be true only 1 vm was shuffled to another SR. But all VMs now being backup with CBT enabled. Well... i just check again at backups and after the last scheduled backup at 1am all vms fell back to full backup again.

Hi @acebmxer, I've made some tests with a small infrastructure, which helped me understand the behaviour you encounter. With the performance plan, the load balancer can trigger migrations in the following cases: to better satisfy affinity or anti-affinity constraints if a host has a memory or CPU usage exceeds a threshold (85% of the CPU critical threshold, of 1.2 times the free memory critical threshold) with vCPU balancing behaviour, if the vCPU/CPU ratio differs too much from one host to another AND at least one host has more vCPUs than CPUs with preventive behaviour, if CPU usage differs too much from one host to another AND at least one host has more than 25% CPU usage After a host restart, your VMs will be unevenly distributed, but this will not trigger a migration if there are no anti-affinity constraints to satisfy, if no memory or CPU usage thresholds are exceeded, and if no host has more CPUs than vCPUs. If you want migrations to happen after a host restart, you should probably try using the "preventive" behaviour, which can trigger migrations even if thresholds are not reached. However it's based on CPU usage, so if your VMs use a lot of memory but don't use much CPU, this might not be ideal as well. We've received very few feedback about the "preventive" behaviour, so we'd be happy to have yours. As we said before, lowering the critical thresholds might also be a solution, but I think it will make the load balancer less effective if you encounter heavy load a some point.

No worries, it happens! Glad you found the problem

@acebmxer I’m sorry to say that if those Dells are at your workplace, the wrong edition of iDRAC was purchased. You see with at the very least iDRAC 9 access to the full granular IPMI sensor data, was placed behind an edition paywall by Dell Technologies. Outlet temperature is just one of the feeds, missing from the Enterprise or lower edition of iDRAC 9. You’ll get the temperature readings from the Dell iDRAC web browser based interface, but not IPMI with iDRAC 9 Enterprise. To obtain the full IPMI sensor data you need the Datacenter edition.

After building new xo with root and more testing, I have come to this conclusion... Both things are true, and they're in tension The official docs prefer non-root for the long-running service — that's a least-privilege hardening recommendation for the daemon. Normal XO (UI, backups, hosts, VMs, NFS/CIFS remotes) works fine non-root. But several XO features assume root anyway. The ESXi/VMware import "install from source" buttons are hard-coded to refuse unless id -u == 0. You already hit this same pattern once before — the credential-encryption/XenStore work (commit 5e8b7fd) existed precisely because non-root broke that too. So "everything fails non-root" isn't quite it — what fails is the specific subset of features XO wrote assuming it runs as root. Each one needs a separate workaround. The import button is one that cannot be worked around for a non-root process: it's a uid check on the running daemon, full stop. The honest trade-off You can pick at most two of these three: Service runs non-root (docs' preference) In-app "install nbd from source" button works Script doesn't pre-install packages The button (#2) requires the daemon to be uid 0. So: Want the button to work → run that box as SERVICE_USER=root. Simplest, everything XO ships just works, zero manual steps. You give up the non-root hardening. Want to stay non-root → the button is permanently dead; the only way to get import working is the binaries being placed by root once (script or by hand). The binaries run fine as non-root — only their installation needs root. My recommendation Use SERVICE_USER=root on this box. XO's own codebase keeps assuming root (import, and you already saw it with encryption/XenStore), so non-root is a recurring fight against upstream for marginal hardening. Root is fully supported, it's what the official XO appliance ships, and it makes the buttons you want work with no manual package steps. Keep non-root only if hardening that box is a hard requirement and you're fine never using the in-app import installer.

@florent said: @acebmxer back to work thank you for yor patience and help on this. I feel that it's not the same issue , with abrupt increase W will try our best to also fix this one Yes i replied to ticket also.... Yes you can do what is needed to XOA. Just looked at memory and it dropped.... [image: 1779875710969-screenshot_20260527_055458.png]

@acebmxer welcome to freedom.

@acebmxer There are older versions of the guest tools still available on Github.

@dinhngtu I think it just have been a bad migration or the Win 11 Template did other things to the windows 10 os. Since new test vm did not show the time issues, and a fresh migration of the vim with correct template selected did not have the issues either. I dont know but maybe there is a way to put detect the correct VM template or make note. I didnt think using the win 11 template would have caused issues since using the "wrong" template on vm creation does not have the same effect.

@florent said in vmware vm migration: @acebmxer yes after the first migration, XO knwo that the migration is incomplete and that you may want to finish it later. But if you start this VM direvtly , it will write some data, thus it won't be in sync anymore with the Vmware snapshot. Then XO won't be able to resume You can start a copy of the VM ( XO will handle it for you ) and delete the copy when you're done My advice is to migrate this VM to the right SR and then do the resume. But keep in mind that the V2V tool is intended to target only one SR, so migrate all they disk to the same SR, and select the right one when resuming the V2V. You can change the network after My previous migration was successful with no issues. Previously test vm was fresh install so no vmtools installed. But I did shut the vm down myself prior to starting the migration. VM boots no issues no prompts. This time I decided to follow the steps listed in the documentation as i have been following the changes and updates for the v2v migration. Following the steps as mention XO presented me with that prompt which was not mention in the documentation. As i was typing the post to gather my information it was then i noticed i did not select the proper destination SR and the appropriate nic/vlan for networking. So I noted that in the post. With the assumption i could correct that on the final migration. With that said the I guess the documentation should state - Start vm to test if boots, etc.. When prompted choose "Start a copy". When done shutdown vm and remove.

@olivierlambert thank for that. Just to be clear the vm was not runing but shut down if that makes a difference. @ph7 Both firewalls are Unifi Enterprise fortress gateways. - https://techspecs.ui.com/unifi/cloud-gateways/efg?subcategory=all-cloud-gateways Both sites are setup with Site Magic VPN. So should be full 1.1gbps if accurate. [image: 1767705099263-screenshot-2026-01-06-081123.png]

@myles3 Hello Myles3. This post is over 20 days old. The issue was since been resolved by support. I dont remember the exact solution off the top of my head with out looking it up.

@olivierlambert Thank you for the reply. There was a thread on here about the iso not being mounted properly and I commented about having power off the vm and back and it will load the iso. This is specifically true with the 0.4.0 for linux. Image pulled from the XO Hub will not mount the ios if the vm is powered on. There is Yellow Explanation mark next to it. Power off vm and power on vm iso is ok. Reboot vm does not let the ios to work.

@acebmxer Great. These are some YAML basics. You should read more about it . Following AI instructions without understanding is not going to take you far.
