Could someone who tried Win11 with the latest XCP-ng beta confirm if hibernation works?

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?

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.

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.

It is just relative no value per se

Indeed, that's not "usual" if you comes from a purely Linux/KVM world, where the host is the entire machine.

@high-voltages Just wanted to thank you again, its working now with the commands i did in the screenshot.

Not your VMs up to date, your XO version. Be sure to be on the latest commit.

Great!

@chon It's Jun 3, 2023. After three years, I'm going to finally do the migration to a new Dell server hardware. I'll update this thread for those who are interested. thanks.

@Danp That's perfect. All plugins are installed and running. Thank you for pointing that out. Should have. Could have.

Hard to say from just a screenshot.

What version of XO are you running? How long did you wait for the logs to load? Did you try refreshing the page?

FWIW, I've noticed that XO seems to take longer to load this page than it did previously.

P.S. Technically, you aren't running XOA (the pre-built XO appliance). 🙂

Thanks you Oliver!

Thanks. I guessed that I needed to put the full path on FreeNAS as there is not masking when expose as NSF by FreeNAS. So I put the full path as "/mnt/MybooksVolume/VM_ISOs" and that seems to have fixed the problem.

@borzel Indeed, the command

"xe vm-cd-eject --multiple" worked! All VMs now correctly auto boot on reboot/startup!
