    • RE: ova export not functional

      Windows 22h2 ova is exported fine. The import goes to the end only if:

      • it is not set to EFI boot by default
      • the type of Operating System is on Other and the version is Other/Unknown
      • video is under 16Mb

      Linux ova export is fine. The import goes to the end with the same missconfiguration.

      After the settings are done everything works fine.

    • RE: Continuous Replication on a large VM

      Hello,
      I have windows 2008R2 with SQL 2008R2 and a database of 4.3Tb, I use CR successfully (for 2+ years now), I do the transfer on a LAN link in http mode.

      For a transfer on a 1G LAN, you will have a transfer time of 60-72 hours. You must set in XCP-ng the time to kill the task for 72 hours minimum, in /etc/xapi.conf line 306 set: pending_task_timeout = 259200 # 3 days in seconds.

      For a transfer on a 10Gb LAN you will have a transfer of 7-14 hours.
      I don't use snapshot with memory but the recovery was ok, I had an event.

    • Full backup interval with current step

      Can you put an extra message at the Full backup interval, which will display what step it is until the next Full backup.
      For example, as in the photo below, the first is the current one and the second is the desired one.

      original one

      AD has a maximum period of difference between Domain Controller's and as far as I know it is 24h.
      If you don't do this, the oldest one will be out of sync and useless.

    • RE: XO Lite: building an embedded UI in XCP-ng

      To be a good alternative to XCP-NG Center you have to do at least what XCP-NG Center does.
      E.g:

      • I haven't found in XOCE, so far, how to rearrange the VHDs of a VM, the only method, which I found , is to reattach them in the order I want,
      • To be able to snopshoot,
      • To be able to import and export,
      • To be able to migrate a VM, implicitly to be able to add another host on which to migrate the VM. This is good when the current host has a problem,
      • To group VMs by hosts, sometimes it is more useful to see which VMs are affected if you restart a host, XOCE displays them all but you cannot group/subgroup them on hosts that they are running on,
      • It can be restarted even if it is the only host, XOCE only wants it if the VMs are all turned off.

      In essence, XCP-NG Center does almost everything XOCE does, but manually. Which is OK when you have a breakdown.

      Don't get me wrong I use XOCE the most and I understand its importance but sometimes a XCP-NG Center is good to have, especially a local one on the host.

    • RE: Windows 2008 Guest tools

      What I did.
      I installed XCP-ng 7.5 from https://updates.xcp-ng.org/isos/7.5/ , on VirtualBox with the ability to enable Nested VT-x/Amd-V
      Copy templates for windows 2008 in the current XCP-ng, be it 8.2+, as in the photo. The template is to recreate the existing VM and attach the existing HDD
      4cd5f7c8-6246-40e6-8210-264d6dd688ce-image.png

      Download the XenServer 7.2 image from http://downloadns.citrix.com.edgesuite.net/12636/XenServer-7.2.0-install-cd.iso

      Open with 7zip or equivalent.
      Extract XenServer-7.2.0-install-cd.iso\Packages\xenserver-pv-tools-7.11.0-1.noarch.rpm
      From the above file extract xenserver-pv-tools-7.11.0-1.noarch.cpio\opt\xensource\packages\iso\guest-tools-7.11.0-1.iso. Here you have PV drivers for windows 2008

      Mount and install the PV driver in the VM and everything is ok

      Or already extracted on https://ncloud.neandria.ro/index.php/s/89i8D6E3nDX99G7

      The template must be for windows 2008, otherwise the PV drivers will not install properly

    • RE: Clonezilla not recognising network adaptor

      Just create a VM with a linux template (any linux, I use Rocky Linux 9) and mount (attach) the VHD in it, the VHD from the VM you want to backup.
      Clonzilla will go very well.
      Don't forget to choose KVM, otherwise you won't have video.
      The problem is with windows templates, it doesn't matter which version.
      After the backup finish, disconnect the VHD from the VM with linux template and start the VM with windows template

    • RE: XO cant Snapshot itself ?

      This is what I was thinking

      • [NOSNAP] to be like SDA and disk 3
      • [NOBAK] to be with SDA and disk 2
      • In both cases disk 4 is excluded

    • RE: How to restore vm and xo metadata from backups?

      I don't have experience with something like this, but I can do a mini lab with something like this, to test the steps below .
      What would I do.
      0. Do you have metadata backup for XCP-ng?

      1. If YES
        1.1. I would reinstall the server from scratch, before make a backup with Clonezilla with the boot disk of XCP-ng ;
        1.2. I would reconnect iSCSI, without formatting it - reinitialize, only reconnecting (to not delete the data on it);
        1.3. I would restore the metadata;
        1.4. The result should be all the info about the VM that was on XPC-ng, and hopefully it also attaches the iSCSI disks.

      2. If NO
        2.2. I would reinstall the server from scratch, before make a backup with Clonezilla with the boot disk of XCP-ng;
        2.2. I would reconnect iSCSI, without formatting it - reinitialize, only reconnecting (to not delete the data on it);
        2.3. I would redone the VMs from scratch and start attaching the disks to identify which and to which VMs they were attached before;
        2.4. The result should be functional VMs

      In principle, if you have the disks intact, the data is there, you just have to restore the VMs (RAM, CPU, attached the correct disks, etc.)

      This is the menu for XCP-ng metadata backup, Backup/New.

      Backup Delta always refers to the last Full Backup. So the ones before the Full Backup can no longer be restored on a backup made after them
