RE: VM migration time
@nikade @olivierlambert I created two Linux VMs and ran the below bandwidth and disk tests:

RE: VM migration time
@nikade Yes, the VM is using shared storage. My storage network is 10G with the MTU of 9000. I don't use multipathing for interfaces. I'm thinking there's something wrong with the settings.

RE: VM migration time
@olivierlambert The interface used for direct communication with storage is eth5.

VM migration time
Hi. I created a Linux VM for testing. It has a 10 GB disk. The MTU of the communication network between the hosts in the pool and the Dell storage is 9000.
When I try to migrate this VM between storage volumes, using XO, the time is more than 6 minutes. Is this time normal for the size of the VM?
Could I check some settings to try to improve this time?
I saw the links below, but I still have questions:

RE: XO Lite: building an embedded UI in XCP-ng
@olivierlambert Your company is fantastic! Since I started testing XCP-NG and XO, I've seen a lot of new things. Congratulations again.

RE: XO Lite: building an embedded UI in XCP-ng
@olivierlambert Thanks for sharing this tool. I'll test it!
When reading the documentation, I had a question. If my internet link becomes unavailable, I will not be able to get XO Lite as I will not be able to download the code from Vates' servers to fully run the application. In the final version of XO Lite, do you intend to make the application completely available so that it can be run on the server side?

Questions about backup features
I saw the video about Xen Orchestra's backup and restore features. From this video I learned a lot.
https://xcp-ng.org/docs/backup.html#xen-orchestra
Simple Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) perform full backups. The difference is that Simple Backup saves to a remote drive like NFS and Disaster Recovery (DR) saves to a local SR so that data is recovered faster. Delta Backup and Continuos Replication (CR) initially perform a full backup and then incremental backups (Delta).
Now the questions follow:
-
In Delta Backup and Continuos Replication (CR), if the “Force full backup” option is selected in Schedule, will the results be identical to those of Simple Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR)?
-
In Continuos Replication (CR), although the first backup is full and the rest are incremental backups of the Delta type, why when deleting the first backup can I later restore other backups without problems?

RE: How to enable dvd drive on Xo?
@AtaxyaNetwork Thanks for your guidance. I can create a lightweight Debian VM with an NFS share for the ISOs.
But even so it is strange that the drive is not known by the XO. Maybe other people can comment on this later.

How to enable dvd drive on Xo?
I want to use the dvd drive for installing GNU/Debian 11. But the drive on the XO Community interface is not shown. In XCP-ng Center the drive is displayed without any problems.
I'm forgetting something ?
