    • RE: Long-term retention of backups

      I'm getting similar too, I get the "entries must be sorted in asc order 2025-01 2025-52" error (see below) hope that's helpful.

      Based on the comment about removing the Long-term retention of backups data, I just removed the Number of weekly backups kept entry and re-ran, this allowed the backup to run. I kept my Number of daily backups kept limit which I haven't reached yet.

    • RE: XenOrchestra with Terraform

      @ddelnano Sorry to drag this up and also no OP, but I'm just looking at how to set a static RAM allocation via terraform too so this would be relevant to me.
      Here's a snippet of code, it's using a generic Ubuntu 22.04 LTS cloud image template which has 1GB ram by default, in the code I set the memory to 4GB, which works but uses Dynamic rather than static

      resource "xenorchestra_vm" "bar" {
          name_label = "TerraformCreatedMe"
          name_description = "Terraform Managed"
          template = data.xenorchestra_template.ubuntu22.id
          memory_max = 4294967296
          cpus  = 4
          destroy_cloud_config_vdi_after_boot = true
          hvm_boot_firmware                   = "uefi"
      

      From the hypervisor side the VM looks like this:

      memory-static-max ( RW): 4294967296                         
      memory-dynamic-max ( RW): 4294967296
      memory-dynamic-min ( RW): 1073741824
      memory-static-min ( RW): 1073741824
      

      So to me it looks like memory_max in terraform changes just memory-static-max and memory-dynamic-max which leaves the VM with dynamic memory control.

      I want the behaviour to be, when I create a new VM or change the RAM allocation for the VM to have static RAM not dynamic. I hope this is possible.

    • RE: Multiple Volumes Alternate Primary

      @ronan-a I think it would be a really useful option, hopefully we'll see it in the future. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions.

    • RE: Multiple Volumes Alternate Primary

      @ronan-a Thanks for taking the time to explain, it is appreciated. I will have a further read to help my understanding more.

      Do you know if it is possible to add multiple XOSTOR SRs so that I have the option of separating disk types e.g. one XOSTOR for NVMe SSD and one for SATA SSD?

    • RE: Multiple Volumes Alternate Primary

      Set up a two node cluster, hv-01 & hv-02, created a VM.

      With the VM on hv-01

      hv-01 shows:

      xcp-volume-a5fd7961-af4c-47ed-a24b-99d432330107 role:Primary
        disk:UpToDate
        hv-02 role:Secondary
          peer-disk:UpToDate
      

      hv-02 shows:

      xcp-volume-a5fd7961-af4c-47ed-a24b-99d432330107 role:Secondary
        disk:UpToDate
        hv-01 role:Primary
          peer-disk:UpToDate
      

      Migrated VM to hv-02

      hv-01 shows:

      xcp-volume-a5fd7961-af4c-47ed-a24b-99d432330107 role:Secondary
        disk:UpToDate
        hv-02 role:Primary
          peer-disk:UpToDate
      

      hv-02 shows:

      xcp-volume-a5fd7961-af4c-47ed-a24b-99d432330107 role:Primary
        disk:UpToDate
        hv-01 role:Secondary
          peer-disk:UpToDate
      

      It looks like the VMs disk is automagically assigned primary to it's local node, mind blown! Am I reading this right?

    • Multiple Volumes Alternate Primary

      This looks really cool, I'm looking forward to testing it. A quick question...

      I was wondering in a two node system if there is performance benefit to VMs hosted on a node where the DRBD volume is master and if so can I have multiple XOSTOR volumes using separate disks on each nodes e.g. linstor_group1 / linstor_group 2 where node1 is primary for linstor_group1 and node2 is primary for linstor_group2?

      In this case I could organise VM home servers according to where their DRDB master is.

      So I guess the questions are:

      1. Can I have multiple XOSTOR volumes
      2. Can I have alternate primaries

      Thanks

    • RE: Google Auth Fail after after XOA update (From Sources)

      @olivierlambert Thanks for the clarification, it is definitely from sources. Apologies I will try to remember!

      I'll patch my system a little later today.

      Edit: Patched to Xen Orchestra, commit 6953e - All good.

      Thanks, really appreciate the prompt fix!

    • Google Auth Fail after after XOA update (From Sources)

      Hi,

      We are experiencing problems logging into XOA (from sources) via Google Auth after a recent update:

      From
      Xen Orchestra, commit 996ab
      
      to
      Xen Orchestra, commit 60434
      
      

      We can see that the Google Auth plug-in has gone from v0.2.2 to v0.3.0, the issue was noticed only after a reboot. The browser error is a simple Internal Server Error, and the log shows only xo-server[1053]: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id').

      I can log in with a local (non Google Auth) user.

      Has anyone else experience this and/or have any troubleshooting suggestions?

      Thanks

    • RE: Windows 2016 HVM or PVHVM

      Thanks @olivierlambert

      I changed the release channel to 'latest' and updated to xo-server 5.64.1
      / xo-web 5.67.0

      Both now report as being PVHVM with the additional "Management agent 7.2 detected" / "Management agent not detected"

    • RE: Windows 2016 HVM or PVHVM

      Yes, just really wanting to know why PVHVM is only present in XO after the manual agent install and a confirmation if possible that they're basically the same mode wise just presented differently. There is a discrepancy on the PV driver from that output:

    • Windows 2016 HVM or PVHVM

      Hello,

      Any clarification on this would be appreciated.

      I have some Windows 2016 VMs that have 'Windows Update tools' enabled, PV drivers are installed onto the system, however in XO the mode is Hardware virtualization (HVM), however if I install the Citrix Management agent, the mode changes to Hardware virtualization with paravirtualization drivers enabled (PVHVM). I have checked the drivers and they are identical, I'm not quite sure why the modes have changed, has the mode changed or has the reporting in XO changed because of the agent install?

      Thanks
