I can confirm this is the case for me too, not a huge deal, but would be kinda nice if it could keep track of the name.

RE: Get Properties of VxLAN
I think this would be awesome, if it's not too much work, would love to see it.

RE: Migration task cancelled but still occurring?
@CJ It may be easier to ensure reliability and prevent other possible issues from happening. I'm not an expert when it comes to the underlying code, but I would take an orphaned VDI over say some form of corruption or something like that.
I'm guessing a little if I'm being honest, but cancelling it mid transfer might break some things, could leave a partial VDI that is locked for example, etc...

RE: Migration task cancelled but still occurring?
@CJ Yes, this sounds right, pretty sure I've come across it too actually. Not sure what the best solution is though, it makes logical sense to finish the VDI migrate, then just not migrate the VM itself, but would be nice if it automatically removed that VDI afterwards too rather than leaving it orphaned.

RE: Migration task cancelled but still occurring?
Well, if I understand right, the concern here isn't that a migration task shows but nothing is happening, I think it's the other way around. No migration task is shown, but network stats show a lot of bandwidth being used.
Correct me if I am wrong @CJ

RE: Migration task cancelled but still occurring?
I'm not sure how cancellation of a migration tasks works, but maybe it has to finish the migration and then delete the VDI that it moved? Not sure if it can cancel and clean it up in the middle of a migrate.
How big is the VM? If it's not going to take crazy long to migrate then probably worth just waiting until you don't see that network traffic anymore, and then check if you see the VDI in both places or not; and probably double check the location of the VMs VDI afterwards too.

RE: struggling to understand how to use this
@jsox79 Hopefully that fixes it, odd if it doesn't though. I've run plenty of 2019 VMs on my XCP-ng installs, so things should work. If it happens again let us know.

RE: Get Properties of VxLAN
@gb-123 Yeah I do think it'd be really nice to have all the info exposed in the GUI, not sure if there are any plans for that, but I like the idea.

RE: Rolling Pool Update - host took too long to restart
That is a really long reboot time, I'd investigate why it's taking so long, any even remotely modern server should be ~5 minutes even for a pretty long POST time. Even my super old Supermicro storage server from like 2015 boots in less than 5 minutes.

RE: Get Properties of VxLAN
For what it's worth, @gb-123 you can also view the MTU in both the pool and host network section:

RE: struggling to understand how to use this
Yeah I second @ajpri1998 try to get a new ISO and see if it works after that.

RE: Epyc VM to VM networking slow
It may not be of any help, but wanted to add a little bit of info this anyway.
I'm seeing the same results on a set of Ubuntu 22.04 in my Threadripper based cluster. I didn't expect to see different results, since Threadripper is really just EPYC with some stuff turned off.
Specifically tested on a 16 core 1950X host and a 32 core 3970X host, both with 8 vCPUs on each VM, they topped out at 8 gigabit like most others are seeing.
Figured I'd add it in here.

RE: Delta backup questions
I can confirm NFS is great on XCP-ng, would definitely encourage you got that direction, TBH FC and iSCSI are a tad outdated. There are still good use cases for them but NFS is the thing I'd always aim for in this setup.
And like @Danp said, if it's thin provisioned, then no it won't be using double the space.

RE: Feature request - VM folders
@lukasz-engel What do you mean by "select group of vms for backup job"? That is entirely possible unless I'm missing something, I have backup jobs that base which VMs they back up on tags.

RE: What are recommended ways to grant XCP-ng and XO access to the internet?
@waveguide This is a good solution, glad it's working.

RE: What are recommended ways to grant XCP-ng and XO access to the internet?
@waveguide My personal setup is pretty similar, I allow outbound traffic to inverse-matched RFC1918, but have pfBlocker configured to block malicious IPs and domains (and then the aforementioned GeoIP blocking).
I prefer having it all in one place which is why I go this route instead of PiHole, and then I can filter IPs too which is great.

RE: What are recommended ways to grant XCP-ng and XO access to the internet?
@waveguide I think @olivierlambert was actually talking about accessing XO remotely, as in exposing it to the web so you can use it's management features.
I don't have a list of IP addresses for updating XO, monitoring is probably the best way, but I personally allow everything that isn't on my blocklists, rather than whitelisting.
Do you have an NGFW sitting in front of these? Most of them make it pretty easy to setup blocklists and security filtering, I'm using pfSense with pfBlocker and just block malware lists and all GeoIP addresses outside my country.

RE: Windows 2008 Guest tools
I'm just goona say it, tell these clients to stop using 2008 R2 lol. I know you said don't ask, so I won't ask, but I will "suggest" it.
Mostly joking, I get it, have had to manage places before which had no option.
As Olivier said though, that's super old and not supported, I'd suggest swapping to e1000 for the NIC and leaving it without PV tools.

RE: What are recommended ways to grant XCP-ng and XO access to the internet?
It's not uncommon for management appliances to need to access the internet, so in general I do allow web access on my management networks, including the one for XO and XCP-ng so they can install updates etc....
As long as you just allowing outbound connections, it's not super risky, the appliance itself would already have to be at least partially compromised for it to reach out to something malicious. Of course this isn't 100% definitive since it's never impossible for say an update server to get compromised first, but the reality is you have to keep things up to date.
Now what I do deploy, and this isn't just for management, is things like DNS filtering, IP filtering, GeoIP blocking, etc... to help prevent anything malicious from being reached out to.

RE: How to install Windows Server 2022 with XO?
@ckargitest What are you seeing when you start the VM? Like does it not show any disks available? Or does the VM not even POST?
I have a server 2022 running on XCP-ng, so it definitely works.
