    • RE: vm start delay - does it work yet?

      unfortunately "start delay" is not working as expected. The function what you marked above is to change the start delay of an existing "vApp". Here is an example of my setup:

      04e7439d-6b92-4356-aa23-14d704588be3-grafik.png

      The value whould change the "Delay interval" later by XOA, nothing else. Otherwise is vApp feature also not working on my XCP-ng installation, I think it was never really tested.

      If you want to implement start delays to your VM's you can follow this guide:

      1. define vApp for autostart in xcp-ng center including start order
      2. find out the uuid of the vApp:
      xe appliance-list
      
      1. write autostart script containing
      #!/bin/sh
      xe appliance-start uuid=uuid-autostart-vApp
      
      1. implement new systemd.service in /etc/systemd/system/autostart.service
      [Unit]
      Description=autostart script for boot VM
      After=graphical.target
      
      [Service]
      Type=simple
      ExecStart=/path/to/your/autostart-script.sh
      TimeoutStartSec=0
      
      [Install]
      WantedBy=default.target
      
      1. enable the service
      systemctl enable autostart.service
      

      Editing of boot delay time is then possible via XOA which is already a nice feature at all for "fine tuning" or adapt if new VMs are added to the autostart vApp.

      @olivierlambert whould it make sense to open an additional feature request? vApp-implementation was several times discussed with no "final statement" I think.

      The only thing is to think on that script during a major update of xcp-ng to a newer version. Because after installation the autostart.service has to be implemted again.

    • RE: Change boot order

      Just goto your VM -> disks -> button on right side with "boot order" -> boot order can be set by drag/drop between the shown possibilities.

    • Win11 VM update 23H2 -> 24H2 fail

      Dear all,

      I'm using xcp-ng 8.3 and I'm trying to update Win11 VM version 23H2 to 24H2, but the VM fail to boot. The Win11 VM is automatically reboot during update as it should and then starts upgrade until 30% reached. After next reboot the VM hangs up showing the blue window sign and the moving circle. Waiting a few hours, still no change.

      After automatic update roll back error 0xc1900101 is shown. It seem to be a generic error, but

      • enough space is available (39gb free space)
      • citrix drivers up to date, version 9.4 is used
      • no system critical software like anti-virus, ... is used
      • no special features like pass-through hardware

      Tried the update with and without secure boot. Does anybody has an idea what I can do to upgrade?

    • Connection to xcp-ng only stable for a few seconds

      Dear all,

      after upgrade to version 5.125.1 / 5.127.1 the connection to xcp-ng is only stable for a few seconds. After connecting for a few seconds the connection to the server is droped and no reconnection is done. Only "disable" and "enable" in server/settings the connection is stable again for a few seconds. Then dropped again. Any ideas?

    • RE: Weird "crypto_comp_decompress failed" messages during boot of XCP-ng

      I don't really remeber about the solution, but assume I deleted the old logfiles too. I did never observe the same failure again.

      I'm also running xcp-ng on a Supermicro X11 with a XEON Silver 4210 CPU.

    • Weird "crypto_comp_decompress failed" messages during boot of XCP-ng

      Hi all,

      got some weird "crypto_comp_decompres failed" messeges during boot of XCP-ng. Does anyone no if it matters or not? Investigated this for the first time.

      Some internet search stated to delete old logfiles in /sys/fs/pstore, but not sure if this helps.

      Thanks and best regards.

    • RE: Backup NG gone?

      I switched due to SSD replacement and XCP-ng new installation. I didn't think about that switching from ext3 to lvm does also have an effect from thin to thick provisioning 😞

      Anyway I found the explaination, here -> "a snapshot on a LVM based SR will double the whole VM disk size!" 😢 🙄

      But I will think about to switch to ext4 -> topic solved, thank you!!

    • RE: Backup NG gone?

      Yes for sure, but in the past the snapshot didn't stay on the local storage drive with the full volume. Don't know what is different now. I did run delta-backups over a year now without any topics. In the past I used ext3, now using lvm, does this make any difference?

      Second issue seem to be that there is now "no remaining space" reported, but the drive has ca. 50% volume free...

    • RE: Backup NG gone?

      ok understand, thank you!

      But why is the behavior different? Here is an example what's happening at the moment:

      1. restored some VMs, local storage is 150GB free space, local storage as LVM
      2. new daily backup via XO as delta-backup
      3. after 1st delta-backup (which is a full backup, because no previous one), a full snapshot of ca. 50GB is left on the local storage; backup-drive is a different one
      4. local storage is running out of space!

      Why is this happening? In previous versions there where no remaining snapshots on the local storage left.
