@Henrik
Thanks for the advice! I just did one.....lots of rebooting required.
After you run xclean, it then reboots. When it comes back, there is no mouse so, unless you can do everything from keystrokes, you have to reboot. When it comes back, you can then install the new drivers. It then reboots and now you can reset your original ip address (if it was a static IP address).
Whats the difference between this one and the the one created by "managementagentx64-9.4.2.msi" downloaded from "http://downloadns.citrix.com.edgesuite.net/17528/managementagent-9.4.2-x64.msi" or https://www.xenserver.com/downloads#lightbox-20160?
As of right now, using "managementagentx64-9.4.2.msi" I get "Management agent 9.4.2-178 detected" with the latest Citrix/xenserver.com drivers.
Is it better to start using this signed build of the XCP-ng Windows PV drivers?
Thanks!
I'm on build d8370 and last night all my backups ran without issue.
All is well for me ...thanks for the hard work!

Trying to avoid doing the shared NFS/Iscsi thing.
FWIW: The XO Community edition backups don't work as of build 6b263. If you roll back to commit 19412 they work fine.
The longer error is:
"Error: The last argument to .catch() must be a function, got [object Object]"
" "result": {

Is it possible for a script on one host to check if a VM is running on another host?
Id like to have a cron task that runs every few minutes on host A to see if a VM is running on host B. If its not, I want it to start a VM on A, if it is I want it to either carry on or to shut down the VM on host A.
Trying to get around running Opensense and don't have multiple WAN IP addresses for HA.
@olivierlambert
I’ve got a few VM’s that lock up from time to time. There is no rhyme nor reason (different hosts, different storage, etc).
As a result, I just have a job that restarts them at 5:30 am every day. I’d like to have the software tool software restart them but, in the occasion wher the VM is locked up tight as Fort Knox, I’d like the hard reset to happen.
Make sense ?
@pdonias Tis will sound weird but is there any way to have it try going through the guest tools first and, if it doesn't work, then do the hard-reboot of the VM?
@pdonias
One more...what does "timeout" do?
Thank you!
In the jobs function, there is a function to re-start a virtual machine called "vm.restart". It has a series of options. Is there anywhere that shows what the various options do?
The three options are shown below:
timeout
force (seems obvious but what if it not checked?)
bypassBlockedOperation
Thanks!
@flakpyro
I've found a similar issue with all VMs I update. After I update and reboot, it stays at "Management agent detected" with no version shown.
Once I reboot a second time, it stays at "Management agent detected" with "Management agent 9.4.1-160 detected"
@AshleyDe
In the last few days, I've had these same issues with a few Server2025 virtual machines (I assume are close ish to Win11 24h2).
I updated the master pool...all went well. I updated one of the other hosts. After it rebooted, I got lots of messages about "Async.VM.clean_shutdown: 8%" on the various VMs.
My bad....XO was a two builds behind and well as XO was not up to date.
I updated to commit 95e72 and updated XOA version to 5.106.2 and all is well.
User error on my part but I hope this helps someone.
@AtaxyaNetwork
BTW...how in the world did you add the guest tools? I messed around with that while watching two movies a few Sundays ago and finally gave up!
