Oh no, I really like it coming from XEN.
it should always be there....

indeed, but by definition the xsconsole only seems to state VM data not pool. I was more worried about it not being a full backup. but then in the same take, i like the idea of a VM only meta on XO.

I'm going to put this to bed next week. I'm going to export and compare backup files.

place bets..

I use XOA to backup the pool metadata but little lost to the XCP host version.
it seems to suggest this is VM metadata only..... if so there once was a pool backup in xsconsole, has this been removed?

Also if the ability to backup the VM meta is here, why can't XOA backup just the VM meta instead of having to complete a full pool backup/restore?

Thanks in advance !!

When you change network settings it asks if you want to push the name set to DNS or XCP (can't remember they direction), anyway this is your host DNS, when you set the network management in xsconsole you can get it renamed and then match the XCP name.

i see.., i was seeing them as one install.
I have completed actions, thanks

@churchers
anyone able to answer this one?

If you have an old pool and want to upgrade, attaching new hardware.
You can get the following.

Once all the old servers are removed, how can you check that the CPUs are working at their best?

Thanks in advance.

I want to add a new server to the pool but i can't add without the same patch level.
Our main environment is behind 5 patches but i want to reboot them before adding the rest.

long story short, can i patch to X level so i can connect without having to down the current?

@olivierlambert
Thanks, will take a look now. although this option is on, it doesn't seem to have worked.

anyway, back to to the XCP ver.

I have a new 2022 server and i have tried to install the guest tools but all i get is the below. Just to add i have older servers but not running the tools. it's something i'm trying to fixup so this server is a test. The citrix tools work but i wanted to keep it XCP if possible.

any idea's welcome.
