@olivierlambert any other suggestions? time sync with guest tools for example?
Our client can't use Internet access at all.

Hello.
How to sync time with xcp-ng host? My VM doesn't have Internet access and NTP sync can't work in this case.

I powered off one VM with two 2Tb disks, overall coalesce time was about 3-4 hours.

Running VM still has VDI to coalesce. I found proccess "/usr/bin/vhd-util coalesce --debug -n /dev/VG_XenStorage-de024eb7-ce14-5487-e229-7ca321b103a2/VHD-b5d6ab41-50dc-4116-a23c-e453b93ce161"
Can I run it again to parallel coalesce process?

@ronan-a This cluster based on Huawei CH121 V5 servers with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5120T CPU @ 2.20GHz, 320 Gb RAM and Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6138T CPU @ 2.00GHz, 512 Gb RAM. We have more than a half free RAM and CPU on each server according to Xen Orchestra. SAS storage free capacity is about 45% (17Tb).
Problem disks capacity are about 2Tb
We can't stop virtual machines, it affects productive service

I use xcp-ng 8.2.0 and I have several unhealthy VDIs after removimg snapshots.
In /var/log/SMlog I see the next:

I changed in /opt/xensource/sm/cleanup.py:
LIVE_LEAF_COALESCE_MAX_SIZE from "20 * 1024 * 1024 " up to "16384 * 1024 * 1024 "
LIVE_LEAF_COALESCE_TIMEOUT from 10 to 400
MAX_ITERATIONS_NO_PROGRESS from 3 to 6
MAX_ITERATIONS from 10 to 20

And I still can't get rid of "VDIs to coalesce"
Thanks!
